Two long standing friends had a dream to purchase a retreat in France. Having holidayed for years in France enjoying and sampling the varied delights on offer, the two families decided on Fayence in the South of France.
The draw of Provence proved too much; although other areas, the Dordogne and Burgundy, had many attributes and unique points the light, air and ambience of the south proved irresistable. Coupled with the fact that the region enjoys such a beautiful climate, basking in sunshine most of the year.
Gerard Kelly purchased this villa in 2002
'Villa serendipity' ticked all our boxes. A private secluded property, yet not remote. With stunning views over the Esterel Mountains and beyond. The quality of light is amazing and much loved by artists. The property itself offers a balanced family accomodation, with the three bedroom two bathroom layout, enabling both privacy and space.
The property is totally south facing. The shaded dining terrace overlooks the large swimming pool, bathing terrace and views beyond.There is an additional solarium, furnished with table and chairs for a tranquil retreat; enjoying the same views. Offering the option of escape, for that moment with a good book, a bottle of wine or simple reflection.
A boule court in the garden facilitates a pre dinner pastime, or a distraction away from the sun-loungers.
The property is ideally placed for dipping into the delights the Cote d'Azur, in addition to enjoying the feel,atmosphere and associated charm that the local hill villages have to offer.
Visiting weekly markets selling locally sourced produce and wine contributes to a relaxing, enjoyable table of excellence the envy of many a region.
The villa was extremely well equipped with every thought provided for. A family of four with a 14 and 11 year old we loved the pool and its variety of terraces and outside spaces. The housekeeper Handan was so helpful and welcoming. A peaceful and calm place in a beautiful part of France.
It was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had. The villa is spotless and Handan is lovely and very obliging. The pool is wonderful, very private with fantastic views. The villa has everything you could want on holiday and is in a beautiful setting. There is plenty to do and see locally and Fayence is a very nice village with plenty of restaurants. Gerrard is a pleasure to deal with and nothing is too much trouble he is a mine of information from best beach to car hire. We had such a lovely relaxing holiday we have booked again.
Gerrard was great to deal with, we had to hassle him to pay! Views were great, nice shaded area, best relaxing holiday ever. Handan the caretaker was lovely and very informative. Would be happy to go again. The Perkins and the dewberry families
Het karakteristieke huis ademt een sfeer van rust en gezelligheid uit. Alles is netjes en schoon en ziet er verzorgd uit. De verschillende ruimtes bieden de mogelijkheid om rustig alleen te zitten, maar staan ook dusdanig met elkaar in verbinding. De vernieuwde keuken is voorzien van al het nodige om een lekkere maaltijd klaar te maken. Vanuit de woonkeuken stap je zo het terras op voor een heerlijk (schaduw) moment buiten. Ook de huiskamer heeft een eigen terras-opgang. Het zwembad nodigt uit om veel tijd in en langs het water te besteden.
De slaapkamers zijn met zorg aangekleed en ingericht. De gastvrijheid en zorg van de gastvrouw dragen bij aan een onvergetelijk verblijf.
If you want a peaceful and quit Holiday Home - this will not fail!! The house was fully equipped and everything was nice and clean and well maintained. We (2 adults and 2 bigger kids) had a wonderful 2 weeks of vacation here. It was a pleasure to communicate with Gerrard (the tenant) - and we will return again.
Beautifully situated in two acres of woodland in the hills above Fayence, the villa enjoys a peaceful and secluded location with spectacular views and privacy. Beaches, golf, lakes and gorges within 15 miles. Nice airport 45 min away. Numerous renowned restaurants in locally to suit both palate and budget, everything ranging from simple delicious pizzerias to michelin starred establishments.
The local wines can be sampled before purchase at many of the award winning local vineyards.
A day trip to both Monte Carlo and The Gorge du Verdon is a must. Highlighting the different attributes of both nature and a man made basin of decadence. People watch in Monte Carlo and explore the stunning Marina and Grimaldi Castle. In the Gorge you can choose to drive the scenic perimeter or indulge in one of the many guided activities, such as water-hiking, rafting or canoeing.
The beaches are close to hand and a day or two being spoiled on a private beach with a quality restaurant a few steps away is a relaxing treat. Many of the restaurants also offer valet parking.
