There was everything there for a family of 8. The position was good - the pool was lovely. There were games and plenty of books. My family know Fayence and all the restaurants very well and we would all definitely go again.

Second time in this house - and it is still lovely. And the pool is really nice. We very much enjoy the small town and it’s marked and restaurants. Suggestion - mosquito nets in the bedrooms and a couple of new deckchairs by the pool.

Not the expected paradise

Not the expected paradise

Dear Paul and Lycia, this is your house and I am sure you love it and you have lovely memories with your family there, so it is obviously difficult to receive criticism from strangers. That is why I will not list here all the points of disatisfaction we had during our stay, (Jill knows). The only advise I can give you is to keep the house maintained, particularly the ground floor (big problems of humidity), to do a deep cleaning and to tidy all the mess you left in. Do not leave your house fall into ruin. Thanks to the lady in charge of the cleaning (don't know her name) as she really did her best to help us with the few means she is given. You could give her more means as she is on spot, she is efficient and she could really help you to keep the house maintained. And thanks to Jill who also did her best to help remotely. Information for the futur tenants: there are really a lot of mosquitos in the region!

Dejligt hus i gåafstand fra indkøb og restauranter

Et rigtig flot og charmerende hus med en virkelig god beliggenhed. Den lille by Fayence er i gåafstand og her er bager, supermarked, restauranter og et lille marked både tirsdag og torsdag (der er vist også marked lørdag). Dejlig pool og gode terrasser.

Beautiful home

Beautiful home

Just returned from an excellent 2 week stay in this beautiful part of France. The house was very comfortable and lots of space for 2 families to share, and everything you need to enjoy a relaxing stay. House was well maintained, and such lovely gardens. Fayence is a lovely little village and we enjoyed the local markets, music festival and restaurants. Location is slightly remote, and the hill was a bit too steep for us (given the extremely hot weather) but manageable in the evenings. Information provided by the owners was very well receive , and great recommendations for the local area

Hoge verwachtingen maar een teleurstellende feiten...

Hoge verwachtingen maar een teleurstellende feiten...

Adhv de vorige recensies hadden wij hoge verwachtingen....Echter dit was onze ervaring... Bij aankomst waren de schoonmaaksters net klaar (een Engelse en een Française) en deden geen moeite om ons welkom te heten en even door het huis te lopen. Ze zeiden alleen gedag en negeerden ons verder. Vooral van de Engelse mevrouw vond ik het erg tegenvallen! Zij bleef nog een hele tijd staan, omdat haar auto niet startte, dus je zou denken tijd zat om even met ons mee naar binnen te gaan... De tuin heeft bijna geen schaduwplekken. Die ene plek met afdak is aan de andere kant van het huis, dus niet echt gezellig zitten. Door de vele planten en bloemen rondom het huis, zijn muggen altijd aanwezig en steken de hele dag door. Van ‘s morgens vroeg tot ‘s avonds laat is het dus goed insmeren! Schimmelplek bij het toilet beneden en de inrichting overal is erg gedateerd. Rondom het zwembad staken ijzeren doppen uit de vloer, dus oppassen met blote voeten. De tuinman zou ze nog met de grond gelijk slaan, maar dat is helaas niet meer gebeurd. Het zwembad is verder prima! De ruimte rondom het zwembad is klein. Putje in de badkamer was niet schoon. Zaten nog haren in. Ook het stripje van de douchedeur is beschimmeld. De slaapkamers vonden wij wel een pluspunt! Groot en licht. De koelkast was erg instabiel. De flessen vielen er de eerste paar keren uit, want de deur fungeert niet goed. Een pluspunt is dat het beddengoed na een week werd verschoond. Al met al vonden wij het huis erg tegenvallen. Vooral de prijs/kwaliteitverhouding is ver te zoeken. De eigenaren zouden meer moeten investeren in parasols/een afdak bij de keuken en even alle apparatuur een keer vervangen alsook de schimmelplekken wegwerken. Wij zouden hier niet voor een tweede keer naartoe willen... jammer!

Beautiful, peaceful, spacious.

Beautiful, peaceful, spacious.

We were impressed by the description of this lovely house and it lived up to our expectations. Great for two families sharing, as we were, the kids particularly loved the pool and we all loved the space, established gardens, pizza oven, comfy bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, games, location..... everything really. It is very much a home from home. The information pack was great, communications great, helpful tips provided. We would recommend this house. Locally we enjoyed time at the lake, visiting the coast only a couple of times, and loved being able to stroll down to the village centre to the market and restaurants, then stroll at a much slower pace back up the hill! We hope to be back.

Tolles Haus und schöne Gegend

Tolles Haus und schöne Gegend

Das Haus steht am Rande des Dörfchens Fayence. Das Dorf ist in 10 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar, so dass man den Markt oder die Restaurants genießen kann. Das Außengelände bietet viele Sitzmöglichkeiten. Die Nachbraschaft ist ruhig. Es gibt einen Grill und einen Pizzabackofen. Der Pool des Hauses ist sehr groß und auch tief; das war ganz toll für die Kinder. Eine wunderbare Terasse mit toller Aussicht. Die Schlafzimmer sind groß und hell. Das Haus ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und bedürfte hier und da mal einen frischen Anstrich oder eine Renovierung, der Garten etwas mehr Pflege. Die beiden Bäder im oberen Bereich sind alt. Viele kleine alltägliche Gebrauchsgegenstände waren defekt. Deshalb von uns nur 4 Sterne.

Lovely villa in beautiful location

Lovely villa in beautiful location

The Villa was as described - spacious and very well equipped. The separate sitting room/bedroom arrangement was ideal for son and daughter in law so they could escape the children. We all loved the pool and the table tennis table, plenty of games and DVDs. Really, it feels like a family home. The position above the town and the steep hill meant that we oldies took the car but younger members of the family could walk back from dinner. The outside dining/kitchen was used most nights and we had a local chef in to cook one night. On the downside, the showers are not thermostatically controlled so care needs to be taken Overall, we were delighted with L'Arc en Ciel and would recommend it

Relaxing L'Arc en Ciel

Relaxing L'Arc en Ciel

This was our third visit to this villa. A great base for exploring the wonderful countryside and ancient towns in Provence and not too far for a days trip to the coast. The villa is situated on the hill providing lovely views and within a short walk to the centre of Fayence so you are not dependant on a car after an evening out. We enjoyed the coffee, croissants and shopping at the market - very French! Several good restaurants but our favourite is Les Temps des Cerises. A good excursion is a walk to the pretty village of Seillans - then you have earned your lunch at the excellent La Gloire de Mon Pere. The villa is very comfortable, quiet with pretty pool and gardens. Perfect as a base to explore or just to chill out and enjoy the weather, food and wine!

Home from home!

Home from home!

We (family of five, with three teenage daughters) have now stated at L'Arc for the last three years - which says something. The house is in a perfect location (though one does need to be able to negotiate the walk back up the hill sometimes), with wonderful views, the sound of birds, the gentle ringing of the bells in the distance and the "swish" of the occasional glider passing overhead. Two of us summoned up the courage this year to do a vol d'initiation in a glider and it was breathtaking! The house is nicely laid out, with plenty of room either for everyone to be together or to retreat to different rooms: the studio room is very cool and a good place to escape the heat. The pool is very nice and great for that necessary dip to cool down, especially after a walk down to the town. The upper terrace, with the main bedroom, is superb and is a wonderful place to just sit and read - enough, but not too much, sun. Fayence itself is charming. We love the market (three days a week) and frequent the same stalls each year (especially the roast chicken and fried potatoes!). The bread is heavenly, in particular La Fayencoise. As for the restaurants, there are many of all sorts to chose from. We really liked Le France, Pattin Couffin and L'Entracte, but have also been to many of the others. As for excursions out: Fondation Maeght, Lac de St Cassien and Gorges de Verdon are frequent attractions, but try also Abbaye de Thoronet. The coast is there should you so desire, but the hills are much nicer!

Lovely house, garden and area

Lovely house, garden and area

We had 14 fantastic days at this lovely place. The house has plenty of space and the garden is lovely with several nice sitting areas. We used the outdoor barbeque area a lot and we had all our breakfasts outside next to the nice smelling lavender and view to the pool and the garden. Our two kids ( 5 and 8 yrs.) also loved it here. It is only a short walk to the very cosy town Fayence. We are very pleased with the good follow-up from the house owners. We would love to come back to the house and area.

Delightful L'Arc en Ciel

Delightful L'Arc en Ciel

We look forward to our third visit to L'Arc en Ciel this summer, accompanied again by three university-age daughters and their friends. The spacious and elegant property, which is generously appointed, offers plenty of privacy and comfort; the pretty garden and pool area too are well designed so that even with a full house, there are private places for reading and relaxing. The nearby town has all basic provisions and jolly music and dancing in the square a couple of evenings each week. It has some good restaurants too - the short but steep walk home afterwards affords just enough exercise to counter gastronomic indulgence! It is delightful too to eat 'at home', experimenting perhaps with the pizza oven and choosing,depending on the time of day, the table beneath the pergola or that in the welcome shade of the porch, which easily seats ten. While there are of course plenty of delightful places for outings - the Lac de St Cassien or Nice - it is tempting simply to remain at the property, enjoying the pool, the boules, the table tennis and the view.
