Secluded Villa With Large Fabulous Pool And Grounds

The hillside villa has fabulous views and plenty of space, with easy access to the French Riviera and Provence.
During July and August we rent from Saturday to Saturday. Please note that for stays shorter than seven days we add a fee of 300 euros to prepare the house.
The house has its own large swimming pool with loungers and umbrellas on the deck. It has four double bedrooms (two en-suite) and a single bedroom.
Serendipity has a large kitchen, two living rooms and a tiled, sheltered dining terrace. There is both a gas grill/BBQ and a wood outdoor bread/pizza oven as well as a full kitchen inside.
It has wireless internet and a smart TV.
There is a boule area, olive trees and plenty of private parking inside the grounds.
The village of Figanieres -- a five minute drive or 30 minute walk -- has narrow streets and an old church. The region is full of wonderful villages, where rural life is thriving. The centre of village life is the (child friendly) bar and restaurant. There are also great pastry / bread shops, smaller grocery stores, a post office, a natural spring with the best water you have ever tasted and a tourist information centre. A ten minute walk from the house across the vineyards is the nearest wineries, where the excellent local rose may be stolen for 8 Euros a bottle. On a clear day you can see the Mediterranean from the village.
During July and August we rent from Saturday to Saturday. Please note that for stays shorter than seven days we add a fee of 300 euros to prepare the house.

Beaux moments dans un endroit calme et reposant

L’arrivée c’est très bien déroulée, les explications ainsi que la flexibilité quand à l’heure d’arriver à été très apprécié. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la maison, elle était spacieuse et équipé de la bonne manier selon les photos et le descriptif. La propreté laissait un peu perplexe à certain endroit, mais dans l’ensemble était correct. Lors d’un gros orage nous avons été surpris par une infiltration d'eau dans le halle d’entrée avec pour conséquence nos affaires détrempé. La piscine était vraiment bien entretenue! Nous recommandons pleinement cet établissement, mais il devrait être entretenu et le nettoyage (cuisine + WC ) devrait être plus soigné.

Excellent villa

We stayed at the property for a week at the end of August 2024. We did get lost on the way there (completely out fault for putting the wrong address in the SatNav!) and the property manager drove us directly there which was a huge help with 8 of us after a long day of travelling! The house is a great size and the beds were very comfortable. My partner did have an incident with the hot water tap in the shower (it's very hot!) but we learnt to put the cold tap on first before the hot! The pool is absolutely divine! The sloped entrance was ideal for our smallest (5 years) and the surrounding gates were great. The kitchen is very well stocked with plastic and pot crockery, serving dishes, bread baskets etc, there was everything we needed there and more, coffee machine, microwave, oven, BBQ, all very good condition and clean! The location is excellent and we didn't have issues finding out way around. I would not hesitate to recommend.

En super uge med perfekt pool

Vi havde et fantastisk ophold i huset i uge 31 - lige fra ankomst til afrejse. Vi var 6 voksne og 3 teenager, og huset fungerede rigtig godt - og trods manglende aircondition fornuftig temperatur trods varmt udenfor. Poolen er stor - god at spille i og fungerede rigtig godt med liggestole mv. Beliggenheden fungerede godt for os med daglig gåtur til bageren - ca. en time frem og tilbage. Besøg nærliggende vingård dag 1 - lækker rosevind til billige penge.

Michael's review

Our group was 4 adults and 2 children and we had a lovely holiday in the villa. The large swimming pool was great and was particularly enjoyed by the children. We also loved the peaceful surroundings, the terrace for dining outside in the evenings and the nearby picturesque village of Figanieres. The villa was well equipped with everything we needed and when we did on one occasion have a problem with the oven, Philippe kindly sorted it out very quickly. We all wished we could have stayed for another week!

A very nice spot with a great pool

We had a very nice and relaxing time - in particular the great pool did help over the quite hot daytime around noon. Great fun for the children and us. The little town Figanières is sweet and pretty, the small bakery there is actually very good. Great service is provided by the very kind Philippe who comes around each morning to take care of the pool - in particular his pizza extraordinary. We are very happy with our choice and would recommend this place warmly.

Formidable séjour en famille

Si vous cherchez une maison de vacances où vous pourrez vous détendre entre amis et en famille et profiter de l'autre et de la beauté de la Provence... ne cherchez pas plus loin ! nous avons apprécié cette grande villa pendant 14 jours avec des chambres spacieuses, 3 salles de bains (luxe) une grande cuisine avec tout ce dont vous avez besoin, une belle terrasse avec le soleil du matin mais seulement de l'ombre (idéal) De plus, cette villa dispose d'une piscine fantastique où il c'était bien de se rafraichir... La villa est située dans les belles collines de Provence... se réveiller avec les oiseaux et s'endormir au son des grillons... on ne peut que fortement recommander ce villa!

Erwartungen übertroffen

Meistens sind Bilder aus Prospekten schöner als die Wahrheit. Bei der Villa "Serendipity" wurden die Erwartungen übertroffen. Eine großzügige Villa mit allem ausgestattet was für eine 11-köpfige Familie mit Personen von 11 bis 68 Jahren notwendig ist und einen erholsamen Urlaub garantiert. Wir haben uns zu Hause und von Philippe und Geraldine sehr gut betreut gefühlt. Es gab absolut keine Probleme im Haus und Garten, deswegen konnten wir freundliche Hilfe der beiden leider nicht in Anspruch nehmen. Wir würden gerne wieder in dieser Villa wohnen und können sie wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Super séjour, nous reviendrons !

Cette maison correspond exactement à la description. Tout est bien insonorisé, et cela permet aux enfants de dormir le soir sans être dérangé par les adultes. La piscine est magnifique et bien entretenue. Même si en ouvrant les fenêtres aux bonnes heure et en utilisant les ventilateurs nous pouvons avoir une fraîcheur dans les chambres. Il serait agréable d’y avoir également l’air conditionnée. Ce serait également chouette d’avoir un congélateur dans la cuisine pour éviter les trajets dans la buanderie, surtout qu’il y a la place. Pour le reste l’endroit est génial et super bien fait pour les enfants. Nous y retournerons avec très grand plaisir ! Merci pour tout. La famille Jacques

Bonjour notre appréciation est en demi teinte : Cote piscine c’est le top , coté accueil des gérants extraordinaire de gentillesse , coté situation géographique parfaite au calme retirer mais proche de tous les commerces . Hélas le gite comporte un gros problème le voisinage , le voisin le plus proche nous interdit d’écouter de la musique de faire du bruit dans la piscine etc.....et ce pas que le soir après 22H mais en permanence . Et si vous respectez pas les consignes du voisin c’est la police municipale qui vient vous le rappeller .!! Coté agencement pas de cafetière et une table extérieur cassé ( qui fut changer pendant le séjour ) alors adepte du silence total vous seraez heureux les autres je vous déconseille ce gite

Prachtig zwembad , mooie omgeving , huis mag in zijn eer hersteld worden.

Een prachtig zwembad , daar valt weinig op aan te merken . Jammer van de lounge die er niet meer was. Terras en bijhorende tafels en stoelen hebben nood aan vernieuwing. Super vriendelijke ontvangst van Philippe en Geraldine. Het huis heeft verschillende kleine gebreken wat wel jammer is. Voor de rest wel een ruime en aangename woning. Pizza oven is top!

Great place to stay for a great price

We stayed at Villa Serendipity from 03/07 until 11/07. Geraldine was there to welcome us and show us around. Also during our stay, Geraldine and Philippe, helped us out whenever was needed. The house has a very nice pool and enough place for a family of 10. The location is just fine, about 10 minutes to the nearest big shop, but 2 minutes away, there is also a very good bakery. We would definitely book it again!

Lovely traditional villa in a private & peaceful setting

A substantial property with plenty of public space. The outdoor areas, especially around the pool ensure that you get sun all day long - the pool is newly refurbished and spotless. great location for visiting nearby villages with Draguignan less than 10 mins by car. The décor and finishes are a little aged but that's personal style point and everything worked as it should. Special thanks to Geraldine & Philippe for doing everything to make us feel welcome.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Yates

Host profile image
We are an English family who have holidayed in France for generations.

Why they chose this property

Villa Serendipity has the perfect quiet and secluded location tucked in the Provencal foothills, 30 minutes' drive from the French Riviera and an hour from Nice airport.
Thirty minutes drive to the north, you are surrounded by serious mountains -- the gorge at the Parc Natural Regional Du Verdun is world class spectacular. There’s plenty of water sports, hiking and skiing (in winter) in the area.
Serendipity is a spacious, gated home surrounded by vineyards, farmland and woodland offering great views across the valley and the mountains beyond. With a large, secluded private swimming pool, extensive grounds and charming villages all around, many visitors don't stray far.

What makes this property unique

The house is great to host groups such as an artists' retreat and cyclists, particularly those stopping along the EuroVelo 8 Mediterranean Route, which passes close to the property. The nearest winery is a beautiful ten minute walk. The grounds are large enough for epic games of petanque. The pool is significantly larger than most private pools but still accessible to the youngest and oldest because of the shallow sloped area at one end.
