Beautiful apartment with pool in Sainte-Maxime

The view from the balcony onto the pine trees and the sea. Well equipped food store a few min drive away.

It was like stepping back in time for a couple of decades but not in a good way. Why do they have the word ‘beautiful’ in their name? It was entirely run down, very crammed, in desperate need of new paint and deco. Lots of old school ripped plastic bits like chairs and table covers - all cried for renewal. There was no air, it was superhot with just loud airfans to make something to breathe. Our clothes needed to be hanged in a dirty messy broom closet(!!). Also, not even one waste bag left for us, toaster did not work, the keys were crooked so they broke on the 2nd try, just to name a few things that really got us out of our holidaying mood. The host’s tone with everything however was like it is all our fault and ignorance for not reading the flat’s description properly. Note also little things like no shades by the very basic poolside, one toilet paper roll for entire 5 day stay and the list is long.
