The villa has been awarded a 4-star rating by the Association of Guesthouses. It is located in the area known as Escampobar, a quiet, well-preserved residential area. <br><br>You’re just a 300-meter walk from the charming little port of Le Niel, where you can swim in the sea from the surrounding coves; and where you’ll find boat rentals during the season to visit Porquerolles or take a magnificent tour of the peninsula by sea.<br>You’re also less than a 500-meter walk from the centre of the village of Giens, with its small restaurants and shops—no need for a car to get there!<br>Hiking trails, including the “Sentier des Douaniers” (Customs Officers’ Trail) that circles the peninsula, are accessible within 5 minutes of the villa.<br>The peninsula’s large beaches, where you can go kitesurfing or windsurfing, are less than a 10-minute bike ride away.<br><br>The apartment has a total area of 125 m².
