Totally Relaxation
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
My wife and I stumbled quite by chance over this holiday cottage in 2000; we loved it that much that we have returned five times since with this August being the latest, but by no means the last visit as we have just booked for August 2010!
Unlike a lot of holiday rentals that are equipped with odds & ends of mis-matched furniture etc, the owners have equipped and furnished it with matching Jeff Banks crockery, bedding and curtaining that not only reflects the pride they have in it, but also makes the cottage feel more homely. It is equipped with everything you need including UK freeview TV and has been extensively modified since our first visit.
The owners are unobtrusive, but always on hand if one has any queries or problems. The pool, although not totally private, is virtually exclusive to the cottage as the owners usually only use it early morning or late evening.
The location offers something for everyone be it simply relaxing by the pool, enjoying some of the superb local restaurants, exploring some of the stunning local scenery such as the Verdon Gorges (about an hours drive away), or for the more adventurous the sports on offer nearby; gliding, canoeing, golf, parascending etc.
If you want to see more of the Cote d'Azur a car is a must as Frejus is about a 30 minute drive away, with other places such as Nice, Cannes, Monaco, St Tropez all within easy reach.
My only word of caution would be that due to the location the drive into the property is at quite a steep angle so anyone (like me) having a car with low ground clearance might experience some problems negotiating the driveway; that said it is not impossible and once done becomes musch easier.
In summary this cottage is the perfect getaway for two people, quiet, clean and amazing value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
