We have just returned from a 2-week stay in the villa, our first family trip to France. It was by far the best villa we have ever rented. Gerard was there to meet us on arrival, having kept in touch with us via text beforehand. All the rooms were spotlessly clean and spacious. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped. We loved the Weber gas BBQ! The pool was excellent, our kids were in it every day, and Gerard maintained it twice a week.
In terms of location - it was perfect for us to explore the Cote d'Azur. We had a hire car and picked a different destination almost every day. Our furthest trips were to Monaco to the east, and Toulon to the west, both of which involved a drive of about 1 hour 50 minutes.
There is plenty to do in and around Saint-Aygulf, Frejus and Saint-Raphael, especially if you like waterspots (paragliding, kayaking, jetskiiing etc). There is also an Aqualand water park nearby which we happily spent a day at. There are many good restaurants as well. We did most of our grocery shopping in the huge Geant Casino supermarket about 10 minutes from the villa. There was also a smaller but well-stocked Contact supermarket a similar distance away.
We had a fantastic holiday. If (or more likely, when) we return to the south of France, we will have no hesitation in renting this villa again. Thank you, Gerard, for looking after us so well.
