We had a wonderful week in this marvelous, tasteful house. The garden is very nice designed and well kept - extraordinary for a Holiday home in the Provence. We loved the smell of the Jasmin!!! The kitchen has a very big fridge with an ice-cub-maker, what can be very useful in warm weather ;-) - Pastis is not far away. We loved to do walks in the morning in the woods around the house, where there are a lot of wild flowers, even wild orchids! It is a great area with lovely markets in nice villages.

Holidaying at Villa des Cypres was just what our family needed to recharge our batteries after a busy year. With four teenagers to keep happy the house was great – the outdoor living space is wonderful – large family dining area and areas for us all to escape to if we needed some time snoozing away in the sunshine. The pool is a good size and right next to the kitchen and bbq area – so the cooks never felt left out from all the fun taking place in the pool. The house is well looked after and really comfortable and had everything we needed. The local manager is very helpful and on call if needed and the pool guy David does a great job and is really friendly too. The garden is beautiful and so are the views. The local area offered plenty for the family: good food, local wines, river jumping, paddle boarding, tennis, boules, canoeing, lovely walks, zip wire challenges, wine tasting, local markets and the beaches along the coast are great and offer waterslides, boat trips, snorkling and crazy banana boats for our daring teenagers! We talked, played board games, cooked great local produce, read books and totally chilled out as a family – together! We returned to life in the UK feeling like a new family. Highly recommended.

Really felt part of the Provence way of life. Extremely peaceful villa with a nice pool and very pretty garden. The villa is at the end of a long road through forrest which brings you to a clearing with a beautiful view. Perfect for a peaceful, private holiday.

Moderately exciting trip to get to the villa, (villa? Is that right for S. France?), Some wonderfully twisty turns along made and un-made roads, up and down some splendid hills. Well done little Opel, you did it. Maybe a 4x4 would do it better. But where’s the fun in that. And when we got there... totally worth it. Spacious rooms, wonderfully multi level layout. And a garden and pool that almost made me want to burst into song. Almost. Admittedly, we got there a bit early, so nipped to Lorges to get lunch. Lovely food, tasty,tasty wine, and amuse the locals with some terrible schoolboy French. Then back to the villa to chill. Personally I could have spent the week just doing that. But with 3 sons...not a option. But here’s another great thing about this whole area. You’re about an hours’ drive....maybe more, depending how far you go (or how fast you drive), from some incredible places. Canoeing up the Gorge du Verdon was a pretty fun way to start things off. Thoroughly recommend catching the ferry across to Porquerolles from Hyeres. Cannes, Nice, all totally get-at-able. But for me, one of the things I really loved was being back at the villa, wine or beer in hand, lying back and doing a bit of star gazing. Don’t often see the Milky Way quite like that in the Midlands. Some places have pretty much got it all. So...better start saving. And buy meself one.
