Fayence holiday villa: Fayence

We have had some wonderful holidays at La Tauperie, our now grown up children first came as teenagers - they are still coming its that sort of a place!
This year we went in May, the weather was hot but not too hot. walking into Fayence through the olive trees carpeted with wild flowers and over the old Roman bridge was simply delightful. Buying provisions for lunch in the market and home to the terrace with panoramic views takes a lot of beating. then of course there is the extensive La Tauperie library to enjoy whilst swaying in the hammock. Perhaps a dip in the pool before deciding where to eat in the evening , its hard to choose there a lots of deligtfful villages in the area with some great restaurants. La Tauperie is a wonderful house in an attractive rural location. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

La Tauperie

We have been coming to the south of France for over 10 years now and this is by far the nicest villa we have stayed in. There is plenty of space for one thing (we are a family of five) and the large L shaped living room is a real bonus, opening out on to a long terrace and separate dining patio with spectacular views across the valley. There is even a view when you wake up in the morning as each bedroom has double doors opening out onto the terrace. If you’re after a truly relaxing holiday, this location is hard to beat!

And if you need to venture out there are two very good restaurants locally and many more within the next two villages.
Shops and markets are also within minutes of the villa for those local delicacies.

The owner's representation of the villa is very accurate as is the services provided, we have already recommended the villa to business associates and friends.

This is the most welcoming holiday home you could imagine. Lynette and John have cleverly provide really useful, detailed information on restaurants, local places of interest, routes for walks as well as an amazing supply of books, music and DVDs for their holiday guests. We love La Tauperie so much, we have spent at least one week there each year for the last five years with friends and family.

Its position between the lovely hilltop villages of Fayence and Seillans made it easy for us to find all types of restaurants and specialist shops. We visited the Farmers’ Market to stock up on locally grown produce before hitting the remarkably well stocked supermarkets for all our favourite french and goodies. We also visited some of the local vineyards to sample the regional plonk, some of which we just had to purchase in order to conduct a more exhaustive tasting.

The house is spotlessly clean, cool, airy and very comfortably furnished with fabulous views from all bedrooms and sitting room. We loved sitting on the patio with a glass of wine gazing at the wonderful view watching the occasional glider cruising into the airfield in the valley below. It was completely relaxing and quiet. When we felt the need for a cool down or a little more activity, the pool area was perfect - set in a pretty garden terrace with the requisite sun loungers and umbrellas.

The kitchen is really well equipped with an excellent supply of pots, pans and serving platters and there is plenty of cutlery and crockery to cater for larger dinner parties. Lynette has also provided cookery books as well as some of her own favourite recipes using local produce.

The closest beach, Frejus, is only about 45 minutes drive and we spent a wonderful day driving along the coast to St Tropez but were thrilled to return to La Tauperie, the perfect holiday retreat.

We highly recommend La Tauperie as an ideal place to chill out and relax for adults and families.
