Exceeded all expectations!

We had to submit a review after a brilliant holiday here. The photos really do not do it justice! We were a party of four adults and four children and it fulfilled our every need.
The property was spacious enough for us all, the kitchen was well kitted out and the garden was beautiful, especially for wine at the end of a busy day. Sheena was always available via email and the only problem we had with the toilet was dealt with quickly. There are lots of books and leaflets with ideas on what to do and it really is a home from home. It was very clean, well maintained and kitted out for your every need, even tennis rackets!
The advice to close the shutters is worth following, as despite temperatures of late 30's, it kept the house cool and was refreshing when coming back mid afternoon.
A car is an absolute must to appreicate the surroundings. Roquebrune is a short drive away and there is a hypermarket which is just amazing, only about a 10 minute drive away, which puts Tescos to shame.
We took a boat trip to St Tropez from St Maxime, visited Nice, the amazing Lac de Saint Croix, the beautiful beaches at Frejus. If you get up early enough you can get to the beach and park nearby.
The Aquapark is a brilliant day out but it is worth buying the voucher from the hypermarket to avoid the queues to get in.
The pool was huge and was never over busy, despite us going in peak season. Only complaint was that the kids weren't allowed to play with anything in the pool which made it a bit harder to entertain them.
Loved the fact that the baguette man would come every morning and got fresh bread without going shopping.
At the bottom of the road is Chateau de Roquebrune, a vineyard which has wine testing at 5.30pm on a Friday and definitely worth a visit, although you will have to drive as it is a good few miles from the villa to the actual vineyard. Definite must however.
I would without doubt recommend this property to someone else, it was in a fantastic spot, quiet but near to a lot of attractions and we could have done with three weeks there instead or two. The view overlooking Roquebrune and Frejus from the property is amazing!
We look forward to returning.
