A Special Place


We have had two pleasant weeks here. Security for our car and at the address was very good. We were very lucky with our surrounding neighbours who were all French and extremly nice. They were also mindful of others and there was virtually no noise at any time. The charm of the place is the Calm and splendid views. The balcony is very comfortable with splenid views across the Park with its beautifull Trees, cactus and various other native flowers. Our meals on the balcony were a delight and so we didn"t eat out much as we preferred our table here and there was everything we needed to make simple meals from the Casino store and various prepared items to be bought from the market and other traders in the village. The Bedroom and bathroom were adequate and comfortable. The toilet was fine when we were there. The living room and kitchenette has been thoughtfully laid out and works well. Alexandra has created a comfy place to live with thoughtful touches such as mirrors near plug sockets and little shelves in the bedroom to put the morning tea on. Some of the kitchen equipment is quite old now but nothing was dirty when we stayed. In fact we found the plates etc to have really lovely designs and enjoyed using them. Steps to beach could be difficult for some but I am 72 and managed them OK. Use the Buses for St Tropez in the season.

We hope to return again and certainly would recommend for two people.

Appreciation


When I stayed in this well appointed flat, I enjoyed my visit very much. So nice to have a balcony with wonderful views, comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. The original paintings, good collection of books and private car parking add to one's pleasure. The location is ideal for the local beach and trips to many places of interest. It is an area of unspoilt beauty and I hope to return.

Wonderful location

We stayed at the apartment in June this year (2013) and loved it so much we went back again in September.

Its location is just wonderful. We could have just sat out on the peaceful balcony all the time looking out over the tree tops, to the blue sea and and the islands. But that would have meant missing out on local trips to Saint Tropez, Port Grimaud, some lovely hill top villages and of course the beaches.

The boulangerie and local Casino supermarket are less than 5 minutes walk away so its just a short stroll to get the croissants for breakfast and then back to that balcony and view!

Any downsides? If you get the great weather then I don't think there are any. However, if you have to spend sometime indoors then I think a couple of proper armchairs would make life more comfortable.

Absolutely stunning

A beautiful experience. First of all : a lovely flat with comfortable furnishings and very homey feel. The owner even left a bottle of wine for us on arrival. Then the location : one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. Truly a dream come true, I will return whenever I can. An absolute must for people who enjoy quiet, beauty and nature.

More than a view

This is the third year I have spent a summer here with my family. It is, in my view, a very special part of the French coast which is fresh and unhurried. It is established and almost residential.

The flat is ideal for summer living. A bathroom repair was needed and it was undertaken within a day. The agency are most attentive. The property, although older is well maintained and it is very easy to walk to the beach and along the marked footpaths. Restaurants are good and local shopping is excellent including a book shop with a well chosen selection and a full range of papers and magazines. Musical events happen nearby. One can live here as we do, without a car. We use the local bus and two weeks is all too short.
