Paradise in Provence
We have visited France many times but have never been to Provence. We were attracted to the coastal Mediterranean location with more life and effervescence than the rural France we’d experienced before. We were not disappointed!
The villa was superb. Quintessentially French feeling, the rooms were clean and airy. Air-conditioning in every bedroom was welcomed at night and made sleeping comfortable. Other than that, we didn’t use it as the sea breeze and infinity pool were more than adequate to chill us in the summer heat.
The location, and the view which comes with it, is fabulous. We enjoyed dinner on the terrace every evening watching boats and ships cruise by. The local Spar, whilst pricey, stocks quality food which a holiday budget can quite quickly justify. The pre-marinated meat and fish tasted so good. Slightly further afield is a very reasonably priced and incredibly well stocked Auchen Hypermarche.
Gorgeous villages to visit nearby include Ramtuelle, Gassin and Grimaud and of course, St Tropez. The villa is just the best place to start and end your day. Plage de L’Escalet (100m away from the villa) is quiet at 8am so would recommend swimming then and not when it gets busy (which it does). Or, walk 2.5km to Plage de Briande and take a swim there. The earlier the better.
Thanks to the owners for being great to deal with and for letting out their superb property. We very much hope to return.
