Simply WOW!

What a wonderful villa - we liked it so much that on the first night we booked two weeks next year! The villa is large, very spacious and effectively split across many levels and spaces. With two adults (parents), an adult eldest child and a teenage child, there was space enough for all of us to come together for meals and socialising but also space to sit quietly on our own reading a book or sunbathing. The kitchen was very well equipped with the added bonus of an exterior kitchen with fridge (great for wine and beer - as well as water) BBQ and pizza oven. Melanie and Dirk were great and responded very quickly to any questions we had. The local village was a pleasant ten minute walk along a very quiet road and had all the essentials (and three very good restaurants). The villa is well located, but do think about the winding roads with hairpin bends - almost like a ski resort in parts! Great fun but take care. Highly recommended (unless you want to book the weeks when we do...).

The most relaxing time

We had a wonderful stay at this villa. It is so much better that the photos. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, peaceful and restful. The owners have clearly taken great care to think about the small details that make this place so comfortable - cushions, baskets for storage etc the pool was wonderful. The views were fantastic. The outdoor area was really lovely. The village is very sweet and the local restaurants are great, including Le Clavero and Le Pizza van (find it on Google maps)! We loved driving to nearby villages for food and a pootle - Bargemon and Callas etc. Nartelle beach was really good for the kids - shallow water and good facilities

A lovely peaceful location and beautiful part of France.

Another fantastic stay at Dave and Tracy’s beautiful villa. We love the views from the back, overlooking the swimming pool and olive grove out onto the wooded hills. Great lounging and eating area with bbq every night and pizzas from the pizza oven. Just a 5 min walk into Claviers to the bakery and small shop. All you could wish for, oh and the air con when it hits 38 degrees!

We verbleven in de villa met 8 personen en hadden meer dan voldoende ruimte. Terras en buitenkeuken met barbecue en pizzaoven echt een meerwaarde. Rustige ligging en toch op wandelafstand van het dorp. Mooi ruim zwembad.

Superb villa, quiet, peaceful, has everything you want!

A wonderfully quiet location with super views of the surrounding wooded hills from the terrace. The villa is only a 10 minute walk to the village centre of Claviers (with bakery, small shop and several cafes/restaurants). The pool is clean and well maintained as are the facilities. The built-in BBQ and brick pizza oven within the covered terrace were easily large enough to cater for our group of seven. Three bedrooms are en-suite with the fourth also having it's own bathroom. The air-conditioning in the villa is a real bonus. Owner was very quick to respond to a couple of queries we had and was really helpful. This is just a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing week. Just make sure you deactivate the burglar alarm BEFORE entering the kitchen!

Great Break

Dave was a great help in assisting us locate the property. The property is in a wonderful scenic part of the country. We as a party of 6 (3 generations) had a great time. Weather could have been better but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Utilised the outdoor BBQ regularly. Pool, only once, but it was great to sit at night and enjoy the ambience the floodlit pool provided.

Villa at Claviers

Lovely villa about 10 mins walk from small village, Claviers, which has a small shop, bakery and a few restaurants. The bigger village of Bargemon is a ten minute drive and is super. The villa has great views from the terrace of the wooded hills across the valley. The house is well equipped and the air conditioning in the bedrooms is especially luxurious Three bedrooms have en-suite, the fourth also has its own bathroom and shower room (one or two of the showers and outside sink tap need investigating to improve flow). The pool is a fairly standard size, clean, and big enough to amuse the kids, with a few inflatables available. The kitchen is compact and has every thing you need (fridge and dishwasher doors also need a bit of maintenance - August 2019). However, we cooked almost entirely on the BBQ, which is well designed with an air flow from underneath, so much better than those just on a hard brick surface. We used the pizza oven once (made our own pizzas from scratch) and it worked a treat - easy enough if you watch a few you tube how to videos. The wifi worked well. The house could do with a DVD for the kids - can't remember if this was in the spec but would be a good addition. In summary we had a fantastic stay - the location is rural, lovely and quiet, and the house had most of what we wanted for our holiday. A good solid 4.5 stars.

Lovely villa with great outside space

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Claviers; plenty of space inside and out for the four of us. Kindly, Dave had turned the central heating on, which given that the weather was a bit iffy, was extremely welcome. We also made use of the lovely (external) fire when outside dining (which even with aforementioned dodgy weather, was still possible upon occasion). We weren’t brave enough to use the pizza oven, but can imagine that it would be great to cook with, given a bit of time to experiment. The roads in and out of Claviers and surrounding village take a little getting used to (those hairpin bends are quite something), but we mastered them! The pool was super, although as Dave said, would be “fresh” (he was right), so dangling our feet was as far as it went. Sitting on the terrace watching the sun go down, looking at the super view, was our fave thing to do in the evenings (accompanied by a G&T or glass of wine obvs). There are lots of lovely villages and restaurants in the surrounding area, so I would recommend that everybody takes a tour around if they can. So, all in all, a great week away. And a super house to do it in. Thank you!

Exceptional accommodation in beautiful typically French surroundings

Just returned from a 5 day stay at this beautiful villa. Decorated to a very high standard, modern, clean and comfortable. Village of Claviers a few minutes walk away and typically French with Boulangerie/patisserie for amazing bread and pastries, a mini supermarket, two restaurants and a locally run bar. Would recommend a car if you want to visit some of the local vineyards and taste the amazing wines. Would highly recommend Chateau Desclans and its wonderful Whispering Angel rose wine - delicious! We will certainly be returning to this gorgeous villa next year.
