Pool villa, 180° sea view, sea access on foot.

Nice place and villa, and the people who rent out the place. But not easy when it is difficult to speak english. And to get a taxi in that area is not possible.... We tried 5-6 times and everytime we got ejected. Also when we tried to get help from a barkeeper, he did not want to help. But again, Nice place, and weather in july but language is and issue.

Our stay in this wonderful villa was the highlight of our summer holidays. We were 2 families with 4 adults and 7 teenager. Everything in this villa was as described and perfectly suited for our stay. The furnishing and the interior of the house is very well suited for an enjoyable holiday stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very nice. The house is equipped with modern standards of lighting and house functions (e.g. all windows have electrical shutters). The view from the terrace and all the rooms is spectacular and unique!! We enjoyed the pool very much. It has the ideal size for playing and swimming. The nice, sandy beach of Cavalaire can be reached by a 10 minutes walk. We all enjoyed our stay in villa Emilia so much, that we would like to come back again soon!! Thank you Stephanie and Franck for hosting us at your wonderful house! Best regards Ursula and Hans-Werner

Overall we had a pleasant stay at the villa. Very clean and bright, personnel very friendly as well as host. However, the pool could not be closed (which is a non-issue for travellers without children - we had two with us...) and was only fixed one day prior to our leave. Host apologized for this. Remote control for parking entrance did not work as well and was only fixed one day prior to our leave meaning that entry was open at all times when we left the house. All-in a great stay as above with topics for the issue list as above.

A lovely family house with so many great touches. The living space is open plan which is a very sociable and comfortable space and the kitchen is large and well equipped. One minor criticism was the large drawer of similar knives - none of them sharp. A good knife block is needed. Also the bin isn’t big enough for the size of house and the foot pedal was broken - which was a little annoying. The larger bedrooms were luxurious and the smaller bunk rooms perfect for little ones. All had a great view to wake up to and the shutters on all windows were perfect to put the house to bed or stop the house getting too warm. Beds were all v comfortable and the showers were powerful (always a vote winner!). The swimming pool was the perfect size for us with a step for little ones to splash on and a deeper step for adults to sit on. The pool cover gave us some comfort when the pool wasn’t being used (with 3 under 5’s around). The outside seating space has a brilliant view of the bay and is great for eating outside or a drink at sundown. The bbq isn’t actually a bbq it’s a griddle but still it’s fine for outside cooking. The parasols over the seating area are excellent to shield the sun - and can be manoeuvred a great deal. The area of Cavalaire itself is pretty with small and large beaches nearby to visit. The marina is interesting with a mix of good and bad restaurants and a nice time to spend a few hours. The town is small but has most of what we needed, boulangerie, patisserie, charcuterie and a good sized carrefour amongst others. We enjoyed the restaurants away from the Marina most, there is a good selection on the coastal road in town. Further afield there are many nice towns and places to visit. In short it’s a nice place to stay. We recommend Grimaud old town. This is a 5* house which is very luxurious. We had a lovely time and would definitely visit again. One complaint which almost made me rate this a 4 was the lack of house and local guide either soft copy or hard. We normally use Home and Away for holidays and in this day and age I expect the ‘owner’ to have gone to the ‘effort’ of documenting in English (regardless of location, it’s marketed in English) practical house points such as bins/security etc and local recommendations for places to visit, restaurants.In the defence of the owner this information was provided on request but in this price bracket I expect it to be provided without asking.

perfect house and nice people! we loved it!

This is a fantastic house. Perfect for families with children with 2 bedrooms with bunk beds. The house is large with a very bright and well design living room that invites for long breakfasts and quiet afternoons after having played in the large and perfectly heated swimming pool. The view is beautiful. You can watch the fireworks sipping champagne on the terrace. The owners are very nice and responsive. There are lots of toys for children already so you can skip and not bring too many yourselves. TV is well connected to many channels, WiFi is great. Kitchen is greatly equipped with everything you need for cooking and large dinner platings + ikea plastic curtelry for kids (always good to have!). We are totally coming back. The place is great. I could imagine it being perfect not only in summer but throughout the year as it is very bright, with an amazing view, heated pool and greatly located next to Saint Tropez, Gassin and other worth visiting places in that part of france. Thank you Franck and Stéphanie for having us.

I spent a week at this incredible home with friends and family, and cannot say enough about what an amazing time we had. The home is perfectly situated in the hills over Cavalaire-sur-Mer with 180 degree views of the hillside and Mediterranean. We were just a 7 minute drive to town (less in the early morning to visit the boulangerie), a 10 minute walk to the beach, 20 minutes to ancient hilltop towns, and yet in a quiet neighborhood that felt removed from the hustle and bustle - which is exactly what we were looking for. We spent hours lounging by/in the gorgeous pool or on the deck overlooking the sea. The house opened up to the outside from floor to ceiling - so that even when inside or cooking, we felt as though we were outside. The kitchen was extremely well appointed and, with a group that loves to cook, we found ourselves eating in and grilling every night - both because the food from the markets was so fresh and because we didn't want to leave the house. The finishes throughout the home are lovely, the A/C worked well throughout the house, every room had an incredible view, and the decor/furnishings/finishes are extremely clean and contemporary (yet bear a classically French Rivera style). We had 5 adults and 2 babies, and the house was extremely comfortable and could have fit more. I also have to complement Franck, Stephanie and the caretaker, Natalie, who ensured the house was clean, that we were well-taken care of and that we had all we needed during our stay. Franck worked closely with us leading up the trip and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. They were extremely responsive before the trip, and very gracious and kind in helping us check out (which we were reluctant to do!). We are very eager to go back, and could not have asked for a better setting for our trip.

Beautiful, almost new, modern home with a super view. Location is great as home is located on a quiet street, but you can walk to both the beach and the variety of restaurants in town. The beds were very comfortable. All rooms are nicely appointed. We needed the AC and it functioned properly. The kitchen is adequately equipped to whip up any meal. the rental was a smooth transaction. Both owner and manager were immediately responsive to any questions we had. We highly recommend this home to anyone. And, we can't wait to return!

We stayed in this wonderful villa for 10 days and everything was perfect. The warm welcome from mireille, she explained everything very friendly and competent. The stylish interior of the whole villa was amazing. White bedlinen, white towels, towels for the beach etc. Everything was clean and in best condition. All of us slept very well in that quiet house. We enjoyed the clean and warm pool and the marvelous view over the bay from cavalaire and la croix valmer. The location was really good, supermarket, shops, restaurants and a nice harbour in about 2 minutes to achieve by car. The landlord was accessible at any time and he was absolute friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to re-book this wonderful villa.
