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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Great about the house:
- Many different spaces inside and outside, everyone can find a private spot
- Feels very at home, as if staying with friends
- very calm an secluded
- the wonderful pool + the big community pool nearby
The owner responded quickly when there was a problem with wasps, they were removed the next day. Thank you, we will certainly come again, with pleasure!
10.0 / 10.0
The house is spacious and well proportioned, ideal for a family get-together including ample parking behind closed gates.
We spent most of our time in the pool, reading under the shaded terrace overlooking it and eating and chatting around the outdoor dinner table.
The house is well kept providing all the comfort one needs, including bonus amenities such as a table tennis table and bar-b-cue.
We very much enjoyed our daily morning visits to the baker in Flayosc which also offers a variety of small shops selling delicious local produce.
