we have just returned from a perfect week spent in Summertime. The location is breathtaking - to wake up every morning to the sound of the sea and the view of the ocean....everything is within walking distance so dont stress yourselves with car rentals etc...the house itself is old world so dont expect luxury but do expect a great sense of happiness in the house you can sit outside on a number of different terraces and get various different views - we shall certainly be returning. Le Lavendou is just a couple of minutes walk away and is a delightful town with plenty of shops and restaurants and coffee areas to while away a few hours - there is a very good market there on thursday am my advice is to be there for 9 a.m. as it gets terribly busy - bring couple baskets with you and load up on veg, fruit, seafood, cooked chickens, tapenades, wine, oils, cheese - the list is endless but you could prepare a feast from the produce there. St Clair beach is 5 mins walk and is delightful - we did walk to la fossette beach around by the cliffs but would not do the walk again especially with young children - use the beach train - this beach is lovely but go prepared as there are no shops only a beach restaurant that serves only cold food during the day.
we did to to portequerolles for the day the water there is amazing again go prepared plenty of water and sunscreen.
its just a great part of the world and the people are terribly helpful and friendly - enjoy!
