Peaceful and well-equipped
Four of us stayed in this peaceful and comfortable property in September.
Carine was most helpful during the booking process and after our arrival, giving advice on the local area and recommending places to eat.
The property appears isolated but is within a 5-10 minute drive of Bormes les Mimosas village and beaches at Le Lavandou and Cabasson. The villa was spacious, with comfortable bedrooms and a well eqipped kitchen and no less than 3 outside tables plus a gas BBQ. Carine kindly provided a selection of boules, so we had several enjoyable Petanque competitions. We had problems working the TV and no bicycles were available but we had fun without these. The swimming pool was delightful and provided a good way to wake up each morning. The grounds covered 17 acres and there is a brilliant if strenuous walk up the hill behind the property - all the way to Bormes les Mimosas. We ate excellent lunches at beach restaurants, La Pinede and Siesta (recommended) and were also impressed with that at Cabasson beach.The village of Bormes was delightful (though no Mimosa in September!) and was very photogenic. We had a memorable lunch at La Terrasse and particularly enjoyed Daube de Boeuf, one of it's signature dishes. The whole week was washed down with copious quantities of excellent Cotes du Provence Rose (at around 5 euros a bottle!
We travelled from Ashford on Eurostar to Marseille where we hired a car for the 80 minute journey to the villa and would thoroughly recommend this route.
Finally, thanks again to Carine for helping us to make the most of our week.
