We spent a fantastic week in this property, it is very well configured with 2 distinct bedroom areas on the first floor which meant that each of our children's families could have their own space each with separate bathroom and toilet. In addition we used the basement bedroom which is quite separate from the rest of the house with its own bathroom and toilet. The house is well suited and safe for young children and we were given a barrier for the steps from the terrace to the garden to stop our young grandchildren falling down. The swimming pool was a superb asset, it is heated and is also surrounded by a gate with a childlock which meant that children could not enter without an adult. There is also a large trampoline. There is a large garden laid out to lawn and the house is next to other properties owned by relatives of the owners. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed as well as plastic plates and cups for young children. We really enjoyed eating all our meals on the large terrace which is on the same level as the main ground floor rooms and which has a sea view. The village of La Croix Valmer was perhaps closer than we were expecting and the excellent bakers was only 5 minutes walk away. All in all it is a great property for a family stay (we were 6 adults and 4 young children) and very reasonably priced when compared to other large properties in the area. We could not fault anything.

We have rented this property for 2 years now and have enjoyed our time in Villa Silky. The owner is most helpful and there is a local agent in La Croix-Valmer to consult if you have any problems (we didn't). Our safety deposit has been returned both times without problems. The inside of the property, is as described on the Homelidays website. There is a large cool living room with sofas and chairs: (the TV and music centre were rather old so if this matters to you perhaps you should take DVDs etc) There is well stocked kitchen with a small table. The oven is modern and there is functional hob and dishwasher The washing machine is also modern and easy to use. You can walk to La Croix-Valmer in a few minutes if you wish for croissants and most necessities and the Geant Casino supermarket is about 5 kilometres away. The bedrooms are pretty basic but again, clean and quite adequate for a holiday rental and there are plenty of bathrooms. You will need to take or rent bathroom and pool towels as well as bedding so do ask about this. We actually lived on the lovely, large terrace in front of the house most of the time. It is quiet with a shaded area and looks out over a pretty garden with flowering Oleander hedges, mature trees and a small enclosed pool.. There are terrific views across the bay of Cavalaire; perfect at breakfast time and for sitting in the evening with a glass of wine. There is a Bar-B-Q but it is rather old and temperamental and requires patience (and a bit of luck) to use. We have already booked again for 2014...... Roger and Val Bate - from UK
