About this house rental
On Cap Bénat, in one of the wildest corners of the French Riviera, in the heart of a private and guarded domain of 200 hectares, the vast garden brings a great tranquility. On a shady path, you reach in 8 mn to a reserved beach. Around the house, a large secure pool, several dining areas depending on the weather, a nice garden and the forest. Many trails allow to discover the surroundings.
A roof terrace, dry stone walls to melt in the landscape, this house that follows the gentle slope knows how to be discreet. Well isolated from the neighborhood, its 160 m2 allow a comfortable home for 8 people.
On a wooded land of half a hectare covered with cork oaks, arbutus, and pine trees, a nice Mediterranean garden will allow you to pick figs and citrus fruits in season.

Excellent séjour
Le domaine du Gaou Bénat est toujours un paradis.
La maison de Pierre est située au calme, dans un jardin fleuri très bien entretenu, sur un grand terrain ce qui n'est pas fréquent dans le domaine. La location est conforme à l'annonce, rien ne manque. Les espaces intérieurs et extérieurs sont vastes, les différentes terrasses très pratiques en fonction de l'ensoleillement.
Il y a de nombreux équipements pour les enfants (table de ping-pong, babyfoot, balançoire, cabane).
l'accès à la mer (10 min à pied) se fait par un des Gaou piétons, chemin très agréable.
Les échanges avec Pierre étaient très sympathiques et ses infos préalables au séjour très nombreuses et complètes. L'accueil par Laurence sur place était parfait.
Nous recommandons bien évidemment cette location!

Séjour très agréable
Location très sérieuse.
La demeure et les extérieurs sont magnifiques et bien entretenus. Avec une chaleur tropicale nous regrettons simplement l' absence de climatisation.
Très bons contact avec le propriétaire qui est très à l' écoute.
Nous espérons y revenir un jour.

Le paradis sur terre
Séjour inoubliable, tout est là pour vivre avec bonheur. La propriété à l'extérieur est vaste et bien arborée, j'ai adoré m'y promener . Nous avons bien profité des 3 terrasses extérieures à différents moments de la journée. Très belle piscine où l'on prend des bains de soleil en toute quiétude car aucun vis-à-vis. Un intérieur très spacieux où il fait bon vivre, toutes les pièces sont très bien équipées. Enchantée.

Ein traumhaftes Ferienhaus. Tolle Ausstattung, Terrassen, ein wundervoller Pool und Garten.
Wir hatten eine super Zeit. Das Haus, der Garten und der Pool sind super schön. Die Ausstattung hervorragend, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Die Abwicklung war sehr angenehm, alle waren sehr freundlich und nett, einfach toll. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist der Hausstrand, dieser war nicht gepflegt, das war schade. Aber mit dem Auto erreicht man traumhafte Strände in kurzer Zeit. Die Kinder und Erwachsenen sind sehr begeistert und würden jeder Zeit wieder dort Urlaub machen. Dieser atemberaubende Garten und die Ruhe, unbezahlbar.

Un hôte d'une grande bienveillance, un petit coin de paradis au calme mais proche de tout ...
La propriété de la famille Giraud est un havre de paix, une oasis de verdure sur la Côte d'Azur, une villégiature privilégiée. La villa est excessivement bien conçue et donc très pratique et agréable à vivre. Elle est conçue pour recevoir une grande famille, sans oublier les seniors ou les personnes à mobilité réduite (comme moi) qui peuvent profiter de l'étage supérieur avec toutes les pièces à vivre, une chambre confortable et salle de bain, les trois terrasses et la piscine, le tout de plein pied. J'ai énormément apprécié la douche extérieure près de l'entrée de la maison (il y en a une autre à la piscine), eau froide et chaude, vue sur la forêt de chênes-lièges et les fleurs ... N'oubliez pas un bon savon bio, sinon direction la savonnerie de Bormes ! L'étage inférieur est vraiment très spacieux. Laurence qui est chargée de nous recevoir, transmettre les clés, s'assurer de notre confort est enthousiaste, disponible, chaleureuse, efficace, de très bons conseils ... la fatigue du voyage est oubliée en quelques secondes. Le propriétaire Monsieur Giraud a été d'une très belle écoute, m'a consacré du temps et s'est assuré de mon confort de "nouvelle handicapée". Merci pour votre générosité. Et je ne sais pas qui est la/le jardinier (e), mais je dis chapeau bas !

Perfect location at Cap Bénat Bormes-les-Mimosas
This place is a perfect location for a calm and pleasant stay in south of France.
The location:
Situated at Gaou Benat - which is a garded area at Cap Benat - you will find a calm hidden place with no traffic. The Gaou Benat is an architectural highligt - houses were built with the purpose to melt with the landscape. The next beach is in a walking distance of 9 min. If you want to swim, go to the left side on the beach. Other beaches are nearby - the public ones by car - or you hike and will be absolutely private in the off season. Odile and Pierre - the owners - will provide you with all information needed. Laurence - the house keeper is absolutely friendly, uncomplicated and helpful. The charming surrounding villages Bormes-les Mimosas, le Lavandou with all their attractions, restaurants and shops are close and easy to reach by car or bike. Biking and hiking is great and save. Toulon, Saint Tropez and the islands of Poquerolles are close - but in my experience it is hard to go there, because you'll tend to stay in this place of beauty and comfort.
The house, the garden, the pool:
Created in the unique hidden style of Gaou Benat it offers a lot of private space. The house has enough room for families who want to have their privacy - there are splendid possibilities to be separate or together - the garden ist huge- the living area is perfect to get together. The kitchen offers anything with all tools needed. The pool is private and really nice. If you need it , tv and wifi are provided - there is a huge flat screen tv which in case of bad weather may be nice - but I suppose looking to the milky way at the pool in the night is the better opportunity.
All in all it's a place you can call a hidden treasure - so please burn your computer after you have read this message and please don't tell anyone who is not worth going there!
