"villa provençale for 6pers. private swimming pool 😀 rental from saturday to saturday

All what you might expect of a vacation in France!!!

We really loved our stay at this house. Especially the privacy with the big outdoor space, the big pool with perfect temperature and the small village. If you want a quiet family vacation this is in my opinion the perfect spot. 35 min from the beach, and 10 min from an amazing lake with lots of fun activities. We started every day with freshly baked goods from a local bakery in town. I recommend to check out the neighbor town Cailler too. I would come back, the kids didn’t want to leave. That being said I think the communication can improve for the next guests here. There was a very short time window for checking in, only 2 hours in the early evening, which was flat out impossible for us with 2 small kids arriving from another country. This was not stated clear beforehand. When on our way we were told we had to pay 25 euros if the caretaker was going to show up after the arrival time. I have never heard of this before. It was also difficult to find the key box to the house, because the instructions were vague. I don’t know if anyone stayed in the house the week before us, but it did not look that it had been cleaned before arrival. We had to vacuum a lot of spider webs all over the house, it seemed like no one had gone over and checked that it was ready for a new family. No soap or anything except a dirty sponge in the kitchen. I think improving these little details will have a very positive impact on future stays. But we over all in all a very good time.

We had a great holiday at Les Jasmines. Would definitely recommend! The large, deep pool was a highlight and our children, 12 and 14 loved it. The pool temperature didn’t fall below 29 degrees and during the day was up to 31. We visited in hot weather - high 30’s and the pool was wonderful. The master bedroom upstairs was large with a bathroom and a balcony and had very welcome air conditioning. The layout with the other 2 bedrooms downstairs meant that there was space for everyone to have their own privacy. The downstairs bedrooms had fans but would have benefited from air con too. The house was homely and well stocked with kitchenware, games and washing machine etc. everything worked well. The garden was very large and the area around the pool was immaculate. There was a good selection of pool toys and a badminton set although we had travelled with our own. A boules set would be brilliant as there wasn’t one. If you were travelling with toddlers the multiple doors out to the garden and pool could be easily locked and there was a pool alarm and and plenty of child friendly tableware. The owners and caretaker, Julie were very friendly. We visited all the local hill top villages which were beautiful and drove to the Gorge du Verdon for a lake trip. We didn’t book ahead but got there early and didn’t need to queue or wait to hire a boat. Brilliant destination and location!

The first impression of the house was in line with our expectations. But after a nice incheck process of Margot, we realized there was only an airco in the main sleeping room and the beds in the three sleeping rooms were very old and used for a too long time. Large swimming pool but not cleaning during the week. A simple upgrade of the bedrooms would be welcomed by us to come back. Nice area, close to Calian and hiking possiblities.
