Grand parc, petit appartement ....

Le point fort de cette propriété est l'extérieur avec un magnifique parc, grande piscine au calme exposée plein sud, coin grillade et pour les amateurs de tennis, possibilité de jouer ! Malheureusement cet endroit est également le paradis des moustiques ! L'intérieur ne correspond pas au standing affiché, Petit appartement au RDC, assez sombre, difficulté de capter les chaines de TV, toute petite chambre pour les enfants, pas de climatisation et surtout pas de moustiquaires ! Heureusement, il a fait beau pendant notre séjour !

Belle propriété à rafraichir

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour au sein de cette propriété. La maison est bien située dans les hauteurs, aucun vis à vis direct, un grand jardin avec une très grande et belle piscine, très agréable. Cependant, le mobilier de jardin ainsi que la maison auraient besoin d'être rafraichis (literie et sols). Les photos du jardin dans l'annonce datent un peu et ne reflètent plus la réalité (besoin d'être mieux entretenu). Hôte aux petits soins :)

Wonderful!

Everything about our holiday here surpassed all our expectations. The flat is delightful and the garden with its wonderful pool a complete joy. Alexia our lovely landlady could not have been kinder or more helpful. The location was great for proximity to the sea, for pottering round Hyères and the surrounding mountain towns and villages. We recommend this highly.

At last: my idea of luxury!

Singing cicadas, a small pine forest, lazing in the sun next to a huge pool - all to ourselves - oh dear! time to drag ourselves away to another idyllic spot in the garden for a glass of champagne - total privacy - ths is my idea of pure luxury. The house itself is gorgeous, fully equipped down to the latest designer fans (which we didn’t use - the stone walls kept the interior just right). We stayed 7 idyllic days in August and couldn’t believe the difference in tempo between here and just down the hill, at the beaches. These are as beautiful as you could hope for, with miles and miles of white sand, but unless you want to be surrounded by all of the cote d’azur it’s best to avoid them after midday and before 4pm. We slipped into a geared-down routine of late breakfast on our upper terrace - flowering oleander, lavander and hibiscus, with a view of the sea - then an hour or so on the beach where the kids snorkelled and chased fish - then a quiet time by the pool, lunch on the lower terrace (you can chase the sun or the shade, as you prefer - there are 4 different dining areas, just for the four of us), reading or playing boules on the boules court (of course!) next to the pool.....when we had rested enough we played tennis before a last swim, then shower and dinner. The local restaurants were good, especially kind to children, lots of fresh fish. We used the BBQ here for grilled meats and fish. Excellent shopping everywhere - supermarkets open until 9pm, markets full of stunning local produce - a Luna Park which had the kids enthralled - we even caught the ferry to two of the islands - very beautiful but also crowded in high summer. Unanimous vote: the best holiday yet and we’ll be back next year!
