High season for citrus
The lemon is an emblematic fruit of the French Riviera, especially the famous Menton lemon.
Every year, the three lemon trees on the property give us a lot of fruits.
We therefore prepare the lemon jam to complement your breakfasts. You will find the recipe in this article.
For your welcome, an aperitif or by the pool, we have also enriched our offer with “Lemon wine”, a subtle blend of white wine from Provence, alcohol, lemons and sugar, all macerated for 45 days before bottling.
Come and taste these specialties during a stay in our charming guest house, halfway between Nice and Antibes.
