A beautiful property in a lovely setting
We had a great time overall. The property is gorgeous, and is set in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Check-in was clear, the property was clean and well-equipped. Lovely shady poolside terrace where we spent a lot of time relaxing. Great pool.The owner and his local agent were prompt to respond to any queries. Well-located to explore the region. We all had a great time.

Lovely but remote house
This is a lovely, comfortable, well-equipped house. We had trouble finding it . GPS got us to the street, but the numbering system was not clear. When we got there, the power was out because of a storm, and there was no internet. The owner was reached by phone and told us where the fuse box was located so we had power. However, it took four days to get internet.

It was amazing - a dream house so well equipped and everything taken care of.
We just es loved the house and the settings were perfect. You really feel at home and you do not miss anything as it is there. So clean and you feel welcome right away. Love to come back. Also to mention that there great restaurants in Flayosc. The host was so polite and informative. Our best recommendation 👌🏼

Very comfortable, well located and cared for property.
We enjoyed our stay in this very well equipped and cared for house. The pool was lovely and everything worked very well with good contact from the owner. Perhaps my only and minor quibble is that the sofas were a bit worn and could do with an upgrade soon. Altogether a lovely stay in this well located and comfortable house. We loved going to the market in Salernes, lunch in Tourtour and Flayosc, seeing the Gorge de Verdon...lots to do!

Great rental for a family of five
Our family of 2 adults + three kids (11, 14 & 16 years of age) had a great 10 days in this house. Everything worked out as advertised or better. The house is very functional with a nice kitchen and space for social activities outdoors and indoors + a great pool. We would certainly recommend it for a relaxing vacation! Markets, shops and restaurants are a 10+ min drive away and there is a lot to discover and enjoy in the area. The owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. As we learned before we booked, the internet connection to the house is very, very slow. At times, it is not usable at all. 4G coverage is, however, sufficient in the area and inside the house. We are happy that we chose to rent this property and would definitely consider coming back again!

Super indoor - outdoor need some maintenance
We are a family of 6 incl. 4 kids at the age of 11 to 17, stayed at the house for two weeks in July 2017. Following is our pro's and con's when reviewing the house. Pro's * The communication with the owner is very good and without any problems at all * During our stay, we ran out of gas for the barbecue and one of the cisterns didn't work. Both were fixed immediately * Indoor the house is very well decorated with lots of space. Especially the newly reconditioned kitchen and connected the outdoor dining area was great and we enjoyed spending family time there. * Next to the pool area there is a nice shadowed lounge area with relaxing settings, overviewing the pool * All linen and towels you need is available * The house is located on a relatively quiet road and surrounded by high trees that give you 100% privacy. On the other hand that does also mean there are no views from the house, and the pool area can get hot when the trees block for the wind * Nearby, within walking distance, there is a large public pool Con's * Our biggest issue was problems with wasps. Daily there was constantly 50-100 wasps at the pool drinking. The result was we didn't use the pool as much as we would have liked and use to do on other vacations with private pool. We have informed the owner about the problem. * In general, the outdoor area is worn, but especially the area around pool and the pool house needs some maintanaince * Even though the house fits 8 people there are only 4 sunbeds available. * Wifi is of very low quality. It is a slow ADSL line with a very old router that had a few meter range. If you have teenagers that want to be online 24/7 it can end up being an issue.

Gemütliches Ferienhaus
Unsere 2 Wochen haben wir sehr genossen. Es ist ein geräumiges Haus, welches genug Platz für 2 Familien (je 2 Erwachsene & 2 Kinder) bietet.

Cosy french atmosphere
Very nice house with a big pool and close by many nice villages. We had the possibility to grill and to Play Ping pong. The house had four bedrooms and good space. In the negative we can say that there were wasps at the stairs in the pool and some at the terrace. I spoke to the owner about this and he was going to take care about it.

Séjour exceptionnel
La maison est encore plus agréable et confortable que ce que nous pouvions imaginer d’après les photos. La maison est hyper bien équipée, rien ne manque, tout est parfaitement fonctionnel, la grande cuisine est lumineuse et l’agencement est très pratique, reliée directement à une terrasse ombragée pour prendre les repas dans une ambiance agréable. Nous avons apprécié, tout particulièrement la grande piscine, les nombreux transats, la douche autour de la piscine, les grandes chambres, la décoration raffinée, les 3 belles salles de bain et le jardin doté de belles plantes et arbres fleuris tout autour du domaine. La maison se trouve à moins de 10 minutes en voiture du village pittoresque de Flayosc pour les achats alimentaires, les petits restaurants et les petits commerçes. Nous recommandons sans hésitation cette maison pour passer des vacances exceptionnelles dans le Var, à moins d’une heure des Gorges du Verdon et de la mer (Sainte Maxime, Frejus, Saint Raphaël).
