Where is it

Var
 

Extremely spacious self contained and newly converted two bedroom apartment, (over 100² metres) with separate entrance and occupying the whole of the ground floor of a Provencal villa with new swimming pool and fully equipped summer kitchen which is for clients exclusive use. The first floor is never rented but is  occasionally used by owners. Featuring fabulous views over the local vineyards and Maures Mountains.

The property is conveniently situated in the pretty winemaking village of Taradeau in the heart of Provence, South East France and within easy reach of the Cote d’Azur and Mediterranean resorts such as Ste Maxime and St Tropez.

Traditionally built it benefits from thick walls which keeps it cool in summer.

There are numerous medieval villages close by where markets selling local produce and crafts are held on different days of the week and there is an excellent supermarket 5 minutes drive away. Freshly picked fruit and vegetables can be purchased from the local Mayor’s farm in July and August.

The village of Taradeau boasts an award-winning wine cooperative and close by are a number of first class chateaux where many interesting wines may be sampled. Numerous reasonably priced and also gastronomic restaurants are nearby.

A well equipped and presented property - with amazing views, quality pool and thoughtful and creative owners. The highlights are the terraced garden and outside kitchen - allowing you to cook the beautiful fresh food over a glass of rose whilst the kids frolic in the pool. The owners are very thoughtful and helpful and we really appreciated all the little touches they had put in place to make the apartment a first class holiday home.

The apartment is very spacious and the balcony is an excellent place to enjoy breakfast by taking in the fabulous view of the valley beyond. The swimming pool is salt water, so there's no smell of chlorine on your skin and big enough to enjoy a good swim. The summer kitchen next to the pool is superbly equipped and great for outdoor eating. The hosts, who occupied their villa (while we were there) are very helpful on local information, if required. We don't often say we don't want to go home yet but we did for this holiday, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

A stunning location!

We found this property to be the perfect accommodation in which to enjoy a relaxing holiday in Provence. Set in a quiet hillside location, the spacious villa apartment is clean, modern and fully equipped. The well-maintained terraced garden is delightful and the private pool and table tennis provide hours of entertainment. The shady hammock is a great place to read a book or have a snooze. The real novelty of the property is its poolside kitchen, which we used throughout our three week stay. The spectacular view provides a wonderful backdrop for outdoor eating - better than any restaurant view we know!

The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the locality. They are genuinely interested in creating the right environment for guests to experience an enjoyable and memorable holiday.

We have no hesitation in recommending this property as a superb holiday home.

The villa apartment was wonderful, with a beautiful garden and a great pool over-looking the amazing views. This all contributed to a relaxing and peaceful holiday.  The villa was extremely comfortable, spacious and had everything that you would need for a wonderful holiday and was much better than we could have imagined. The pool was brilliant and was enjoyed by the whole family and we spent most of our time  there and also in the summer kitchen enjoying the local wines whilst looking at the surroundings.  The villa is situated in such a lovely area amongst the vineyards and the mountains but yet in easy reach of some great places to visit like Lac de St.Croix or Gorges du Verdon and also local villages and towns with their busy little markets. This is a really beautiful place and one that we will definitely return to.

We have had a wonderful 2 weeks in these beautiful surroundings. We have had fantastic weather. The children loved having the outdoor kitchen there so they could help themselves to food and drink at any time. The pool was just the right temperature for cooling off after the hot sun. My favourite part of the day was relaxing on the patio once the sun had gone down and enjoying a drink while taking in the wonderful views. We hope to come back.

The accommodation is very comfortable and well equipped, the garden beautiful and the pool a most welcome retreat on hot days.

Thanks for a wonderful couple of weeks - we came down with all sorts of plans for trips here there and everywhere, but we found the pull of Villa Paradis (or should that be the pool of Villa Paradis) was too strong!

Best memories are of the summer kitchen, the view and the goodies from the Mayor.
