Rental rates for the villa in Var, Cote d'Azur - Provence, France

^*Please Note: The owner of this property accepts payment in the original currency specified, before use of conversion tool. The conversion tool is provided for your convenience only. The owner may accept other currencies if specifically agreed in advance.

Notes to the rental rates

• The house, the garden, the pool and its surrounds are designed and finished to the highest 'Cote Sud' standards by award-winning designers and architects.
  The garden is fully planted, and much of the garden was designed by TV and Sunday Times garden writer James Alexander-Sinclair, and the garden architecture by Alexander Jackson. Payment may be made in any currency, within reason, and arrangements for this can be discussed with us. We ask for 50% of the rental to be paid on booking and the remainder no less than 4 weeks prior to start of rental period. We are afraid that we also need to ask you for a cheque as a guarantee against damages for £400 before the rental period, which we will tear up as soon as Magali assures us that all is well!
  Finally, whilst we do not specify UK School half-term dates above, we normally charge a premium of £200 per week for these periods.
  

Accommodation and Facilities for the villa in Var, Cote d'Azur - Provence, France

Cleaning and general

The house will have been thoroughly prepared for your arrival, and Magali will come in every Saturday (at our cost!) to do some cleaning during your stay. Please let us know if you want her to come in more often, and we can help make arrangements. The house is very easy to keep clean with stone floors throughout, and a Hoover, mops etc are all to be found in the utility room, behind the kitchen. Any phone numbers you may need (plumber, electrician etc) are to be found in the house book. Please take your rubbish to the nearest communal bins on the road above the house, and the recycling areas. If you do this frequently, it makes life easier, as we have found! Please try to leave the house as clean and tidy as possible, since there is often a very short time between departures and arrivals. Fiona, who is English but lives in the village, looks after the garden and may also visit you to mow lawns or do small garden jobs, but she will take care not to disturb your peace and quiet!

Pool

Magali's husband, Patrick, looks after the pool and will visit the house once or twice a week during your stay, depending on weather conditions. He will do all the necessary to keep the pool looking sparkling, and if you wish to offer him a glass of Pastis, or Rose, he is always ready for a chat about Rugby, Politics or the heat! An infinity pool requires no additional attention! Patrick's number is in the house book and he will usually be able to come quickly if there is any type of pool problem....or indeed most other types of problem as well!

Food, wine and spirits

You will find on arrival a 5 liter box of the excellent local Rose in the fridge in the Utility room. Please enjoy this, as our welcoming gift. You will also find both spirits and most of the basic food requirements ready for you (Oil, salt, pepper, etc), and we try to operate this on an 'honesty' basis, so if you find that for instance the Vodka has mysteriously 'evaporated' during your stay, please top it up. You will be amazed and delighted how cheap Spirits are compared to UK. In the House book, you will find pretty comprehensive details of restaurants, vineyards, supermarkets, markets, good local shops etc.
