We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica and Matthew. They were incredibly kind, supportive, and helped us find a great apartment, especially after we decided to pivot from Nice to Antibes. We really appreciated how responsive and accommodating they were throughout the process. More than just great realtors, they are genuinely good people. When our dog was injured, Jessica went out of her way to help us and even picked up us and our dog from the emergency vet, which meant so much to us! Jessica and Matthew truly went above and beyond for us, and we’re grateful for everything they did. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a rental!Posted on Google![]()

We recently purchased a property through French Riviera House Hunting and worked closely with Diana. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. She really took the time to understand our needs and found us exactly what we were looking for. Communication was clear and prompt throughout, and Diana was always available to answer any questions we had. For us the search took a few rounds to be honest, as we ended up visiting every corner of Nice. We really took our time deciding on the final location (btw we would recommend to everyone renting a bike and cycling around to get a real feel for the different areas). However the real bonus in the whole process was the aftercare once the purchase was complete. Diana helped us navigate the post-purchase details, including setting up electricity and internet, and coordinated communication with the condominium's syndic. She also assisted us in sorting out some plumbing issues and resolving electrical safety issues that we had identified through the purchase report and contract. We haven’t moved in yet, so for now, we are looking at the purchase purely from a financial investment perspective. If you consider the lack of local knowledge, the lack of French, the insights you get into inheritance structuring, the aftercare support, etc., the return on the FRH fee is far higher than the return on the property itself. Life is short to make mistakes: if you are thinking about buying a property in Côte d'Azur, get in touch with Diana and FRH.Posted on Google![]()

We worked with Silvia and Diana to buy our property in Antibes and they were fantastic. We started talking with them in late January and began looking at properties from February through April when we found the apartment we bought. They looked at 8+ properties in person for us and found 25+ in general. They also connected us with a great contractor to install AC and a notarie and mortgage broker. As foreigners buying property in France, it’s no small task with a lot of paperwork and long waiting times. It was worth the investment to work with them to help offload some major tasks. We are so happy! The process took about 3 months to find a home we liked and 3 months to close on the home.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great experience with Silvia and Diána from French Riviera House Hunting. We would highly, HIGHLY recommend them. Our search for a house took a while as we had several “must haves”. Both Silvia and Diána were very responsive and communicative during the search. With them we were able to find a place in Cagnes sur Mer. And their help hasn’t stopped after the closing. They have repeatedly checked in to see if we need help with anything and continue to be responsive. For anyone contemplating a move to the French Riviera and needing help you’ll be in great hands with FRH. Thanks again to Silvia, Diána and Fabricio for everything you all did and continue to do.Posted on Google![]()

The requirement to choose a month for this review doesn't capture the duration of commitment and care provided by French Riviera House Hunting. Fabricio suggested that we meet in November 2024 while I was in town even though he was aware of my retirement timeline over a year into the future. We talked about what I thought I needed and he gently suggested that my "requirements" were atypical characteristics. I sensed immediately that I could trust him as I value truth - even if it isn't what I wanted to hear. He thought we should meet again when I was back in town during Spring 2025 where he made a second attempt to make me think more realistically. With visa approved and my arrival date confirmed Fabricio connected me with Diana Gango so we could talk about the search criteria before my move. Silvia Pierro joined the search team in early November so both ladies were working diligently over a month before my arrival and continued after wheels down. My rapid purchase details are unusual so I won't go into that here. Instrumental to the success was getting to view my [full gut, newly renovated] apartment the day before the "open house." Having a team with established relationships in local residential real estate was invaluable. I would not have been able to see the apartment pre-market without my French Riviera House Hunting team. No less significant to finding my home was all of the integration support that both Diana and Silvia have and continue to provide. Opening a French bank account, appropriate and recommended insurance, home internet, electric contract, guidance and participation for garantie décennale enforcement, odd syndic situations, etc. They helped schlep all of my stuff through the streets of coastal Nice from my hotel to my apartment on a cold winter afternoon and even called to cancel a hair appointment when I was very ill and at a physician's office - embarrassing [for me], but true. To summarize, the honesty, care, professionalism, and experience of French Riviera House Hunting is indisputable. I highly recommend this agency.Posted on Google![]()

I came upon FRH through a coincidental encounter with a former employee of the company. And I am so glad I did! I retired from a career in the US, and was looking for a long term rental in Nice. Jessica at FRH was fantastic. The Riviera is a competitive rental market, and Jessica is knowledgeable about the area, tenacious in her efforts to secure an apartment and responsive to her client's requests. I cannot recommend Jessica and FRH more highly!Posted on Google![]()

Highly recommend the FRH team for apartment search assistance! Jessica and Matthew assembled our dossier and worked diligently to book apartment viewings. My partner and I particularly appreciated their communication style and updates about the current rental market situation. It's well worth hiring FRH to be your advocate--even if you're fluent in French. Merci beaucoup, FRH!Posted on Google![]()

Review of Jessica Alton – French Riviera House Hunters Moving from Australia to Nice with no French and having visited only once before we made the leap was, to say the least, daunting. Finding the right property in an unfamiliar market felt overwhelming until we connected with Jessica Alton at French Riviera House Hunters. From the outset, Jess's warm and engaging nature put us immediately at ease. She took genuine time to understand us as people, our lifestyle, our priorities, and the kind of home that would truly suit us, rather than simply presenting listings. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she responded promptly to every query we had, no matter how big or small. What we particularly valued was her refreshing honesty. Jess gave us her candid, upfront opinion throughout the process, which gave us real confidence that she was acting in our best interests rather than simply telling us what we wanted to hear. Her deep knowledge of the Nice property market was invaluable, and her calm guidance and reassurance made what could have been a stressful experience feel entirely manageable. As a busy working couple, having someone take the weight of the process off our shoulders was everything. Jess's sharp understanding of our needs meant her shortlisting was so well-targeted that we didn't have to wade through countless viewings, and we ended up with the most extraordinary property. She was a strong and effective advocate on our behalf at every step, consistently going the extra mile, including helping us navigate contacts for utilities and insurance well beyond the transaction itself. We cannot recommend Jess and the entire French Riviera House Hunters team highly enough. If you are relocating to the Côte d'Azur and want someone knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely invested in finding you the right home, look no further. Glen ColliverPosted on Google![]()

I had a wonderful experience working with Jessica, Matthew and FRH. I highly recommend FRH. Jessica encouraged me to be open, advised me about the market realities of house hunting in the South of France, and guided me through all the necessary steps. She answered numerus questions, heard my feedback and adapted strategies to suit my tastes and priorities. Matthew helped me with a hosts of administrative tasks to get me comfortably situated. They truly wanted me to be happy and got me off to a great start! FRH is interested in building community. This was an excellent experience.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
