the french house








The living area features lots of comfortable seating, satellite TV, DVD player, VCR, a Bose CD-player and an iPod speaker-dock; there are board-games, books, CDs and DVDs, and wi-fi broadband is available at no charge (please request access-code if needed).

 We have paid particular attention to the quality of the beds and other furnishings for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with cooker (fan-assisted electric oven and gas hob), microwave, dishwasher, an “American” fridge-freezer with ice and chilled water dispenser and there are the usual small appliances such as blender, toaster, coffee-maker, iron (and board!). 

There is an indoor dining table for six, and the same outside on the shaded rear terrace for al fresco eating, where the built-in barbecue is nearby. The front terrace has great views of the village and is a delightful spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. There are loungers and chairs to doze off on by the pool, and a big parasol to shade you when you do. The pool has “Roman” steps at the shallow end for easy access, and underwater lighting for those Mediterranean evenings.

garden

The garden is sheltered and peaceful, and gets the sun all through the day until the evening. Then you can watch the swallows come out to play, skimming over the pool to drink, and also try to spot such rarer visitors as the red squirrels, or the Skops Owl amid the wealth of other bird life which comes to visit at sunset.

By virtue of its clever design, the villa stays noticeably cool in summer, but there are also three tower-fans for additional cooling if required.

Bed linen and towels are provided, including towels for the pool and/or beach (which will save on your packing space!) and a cot and high chair are available on request at no extra charge.

We have equipped the villa as our own home-from-home, and trust you will find it as comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing as we do.

log burning fire


For the cooler seasons there is a beautiful log fire.

You will find a washing machine and tumble drier in the integral garage, and a hair-drier in each of the bedrooms.
