Really great villa, very well equipped with stunning location, beautiful views. Convenient for the town with its restaurants and shops. We visited several lovely beaches in the area and small villages. Mrs Leigh sent detailed information regarding the property and was very helpful with our booking. We would certainly go back to this area and to the villa.

We have just spent a few very relaxing days at this wonderful villa which really is a 'home from home' with lots of thoughtful attention to detail. The villa is located in a very peaceful and secluded area but with easy access to the town and numerous beautiful beaches with pale sands and crystal clear waters. Outside of the villa there are different seating areas to help you relax in the pretty garden and sea views in the distance. The markets at San Tropez and Cavalaire were really interesting and displayed a good range of local goods and tempting foods. We enjoyed the stunning views as we ate delicious pizza at the hill top village of Gassin ( not to be missed!). Lesley has provided an extremely comfortable haven from which to explore a fabulous area but also somewhere to simply relax, unwind and enjoy the tranquility. Thank you Lesley we did !

Extremely true description of the property, very clean with a wonderful and peaceful garden with incredible views, to spend time in, it was our pleasure to help water while we stayed. The instructions and communication with Lesley were very fluid it felt like talking with an old friend. The amenities and the little extras around the villa made the whole stay feel like I was holidaying in my own home. It is such a lovely walk into the town which is right on the beach, which was brilliant for a great day out. The restaurant advice and day trips around the local area were a huge assets to our holiday, thank you Lesley. We look forward to our next trip.

Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub in Cavalaire sur Me in dieser gemütlichen Villa. Wir (4 Erwachsene, ein Kind im Alter von 1,5 Jahren) haben das Haus und die Gegend sehr genossen. Wir hatten traumhaftes Wetter und konnten jeden Tag draußen essen, den Garten genießen sowie Strand und Meer. Die Küste zwischen Cavalaire sur Mer und Le Lavandou ist ein Traum. Wir konnten die Strecke nicht oft genug fahren. Cavailaire sur Mer hat alles was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub benötigt und das Haus tut sein übriges. Es ist bestens ausgestattet (insbes. die Küchenutensilien) mit allem, was man braucht und darüber hinaus. Es ist urig eingerichtet, aber das hat uns gerade gut gefallen. Super mit kleinen Kindern ist auch, dass sich alles auf einer Etage befindet und auch der Garten ringsum eingefriedet ist. Wir würden jederzeit dort wieder Urlaub machen.

We are a family of five with three children aged 15,13 and 12 and this was our first family holiday in France. We did not know fully what to expect, either from the villa or from this area prior to our arrival. With three demanding children we had some concerns. We need not have worried. Within minutes of arriving at the villa the children had allocated themselves their own rooms and were connected to the wi-fi system and had discovered a large selection of dvds, books and games. The villa has three generously sized bedrooms and if your party is larger there is also a pull out sofa bed in the lounge. The villa is well equipped with everything you may need including a large fridge freezer, washing machine and full range of kitchen equipment. When eating at the villa there is a large outside seating area under a balcony where we found ourselves congregating each morning for breakfast, having been to the nearby boulangerie, ordering fresh baguettes in best schoolboy french. There is also a good size barbecue which we made use of. Two local supermarkets are nearby where you will find everything you need and at reasonable prices. The garden area is a real treat, a terrace at the front of the villa was our favourite with a seating area overlooking the sea and hills beyond. Spent quite a bit of time there relaxing. At night it was fun sitting looking at the shooting stars and a passing satellite!! There is a table tennis table at the rear of the property, with further seating and a hammock available for use in different areas.. The villa is situated in a quiet part of the village but within easy reach of the beach and local shops. We were never disturbed in the evenings. The neighbours were friendly and always acknowledged you. It is more a traditional french villa, not like the mass produced ones that look onto each other. The main beach at Cavalaire was clean and easily accessible with showers available to wash the sand off. We had a car and ventured to some of the other neighbouring beaches, all excellent quality. The marina at Cavalaire is beautiful and has a variety of restaurants. The local traders set up stalls in the evenings and it provides a nice way to end the day. All in all this was a holiday that all the family enjoyed, much more than expected. The locals are so friendly and we found ourselves competing at a game of boules in a local park!! Recommended for young and old alike!! Will definitely return.

Our stay in this charming villa went beyond our expectations in every way. The town was a lovely combination of vacationers and French families who live there year round, right on the coast and convenient to other outstanding places like Ste. Tropez. Cavalaire sur Mer is a beautiful, sunny spot with a marina, beaches, shops, restaurants, and water sports. It is appropriate for all ages. We saw many families and couples. The town had a strong sense of local community, and was welcoming to visitors. Most places had English-speaking staff. If you are not familiar with French beach culture, please note that this small town closes shop from about noon to 3 or 4 PM each day except in the high season of July/August. It's OK; take a beach break or a nap. You need the rest anyway, right? The villa owners made us feel welcome from the very beginning, answering our questions and providing many insights into beaches, shops, and restaurants nearby. They clearly love their home and the opportunity to share it with other good people. The home gets a good breeze from the sea, especially at night. The yard is well kept and has several spots to sit and read, eat a meal, or nap. There is a hammock, BBQ grill, lounge chairs, tables, ping pong table, and clothesline. You'll feel at home very quickly. The kitchen has what you need to cook meals or to stow your picnic supplies for a beach day or a drive to local towns and wineries. There are three bedrooms plus a pull out bed in the living room to accommodate an extended family. The third bedroom is off the kitchen and has its own WC and shower and is where you'll find the washer and dryer. The third bedroom is very private for a teen or a second couple. There were only three of us, but I could see two families or a grandparents/parents/kids combination staying here. There are DVDs, books, and games for a rainy day and wifi access is flawless. We found everything we wanted here for a lovely family vacation. It was peaceful, homey, beautiful, convenient, and welcoming. We hope to find ourselves here again one holiday.

Wunderschöne Villa mit individueller Atmosphäre; herrlicher Garten mit vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten und Blick aufs Meer. Das Haus ist schön und stilvoll eingerichtet, genug Platz für die ganze Familie, sauber und gepflegt. Die Küche sehr gut eingerichtet. Meer und Ortszentrum mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Es war unser Traumurlaub! Wir würden gern ein zweites Mal nach Cavalaire in die Villa Amandiere kommen.

Wir, Familie mit zwei Jugendlichen, verbrachten 1 herrliche Woche in dieser schönen Villa in Südfrankreich. Die Schlüsselübergabe erfolgte schon einige Wochen vorab per Post, so dass wir für die Anreise an keine Uhrzeit gebunden waren. Die Beschreibung hat nicht zuviel versprochen! Die Villa ist mit allem was man braucht eingerichtet, die Betten waren bezogen, Handücher lagen bereit. Durch die herrliche freistehende Lage konnte man den Sitzplatz immer wieder variieren, je nachdem ob Sonne oder Schatten gewünscht wurde. Wir waren unser eigener Herr! Danke, wir kommen gerne wieder!

The villa is situated on a residential road about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Cavalaire and the beach. The road up to the villa from town is very steep - we had a buggy and it was a tough push up the hill, so it would not be great if you had mobility problems. Cavalaire itself is a very nice resort with a good beach, a marina and lots of little shops and restuarants, all quite reasonably priced. There is a Spar and a Carrefour in the town for all your food shopping. It is a short drive from St Topez. The villa is a good size, with two good sized double bedrooms, a large dining/lounge area and a medium sized kitchen. It can feel a little dark but then this keeps the villa cool in the heat of the day. The decor wasn't quite to our tastes and felt a little dated but was absolutely fine. The villa is very well stocked with board games, books, dvds, satellite tv (with an incredible number of channels, including all the UK ones), wifi, towels, cutlery, crockery, linen and cooking utensils. The garden is gravel (which wasn't great for our 10-month old, who kept trying to eat the stones) but is beautifully laid out and there is a BBQ and tables and chairs for outdoor dining. We did get quite badly bitten by mosquitos even though nets for the beds are provided, so it would be a good idea to bring some repellent. All-in-all, a really nice villa in a lovely resort, would definitely recommend.

My family and I visited the villa amandiere in December 2009 for a week. What a lovely villa, so homely, and spacious. It is in a quiet road with no traffic and the neighbours all said hello to us! It is a home as the owner said in the details, all the games, jigsaws, kitchen equipment - including a lovely gaz bbq on the terrace which we were lucky enough to be able to use at lunchtimes. Although it was not that hot the sun was lovely and the beaches empty and so many beautiful walks. We will certainly go back perhaps in the spring when the mimosa is supposed to be fantastic. Generally great value for money and so lovely to find a homely rental.
