Tourrettes: Tourrettes (Var): villa due south with swimming pool and tennis

The owners of this property could not have been more accommodating and helpful prior to our stay. Their manager at the property was also extremely helpful when needed while we were there. The house itself was very well equipped for our family of 6 and in a good position on the estate. Facilities available like the pool and tennis courts were superbly maintained and easily accessible. We were surprised at the size of the estate upon arrival but any uncertainty about that was soon dispelled as the place was never really busy. Very quiet most of the time- even round the pool on the hottest day was never crowded. The only drawback to the house was the small kitchen- only really big enough for one person in at a time-it was perfectly adequate but a proper size oven would have helped preparing meals. Despite this , we would not hesitate to return. The position of the property was fantastic in being able to visit Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Menton, Grasse, Frejus all within about an hour at most. Nearby was a good choice of several supermarkets. The nearby lake of St Cassien was brilliant; pedalos,inflatables,swimming in warm water- had many a great day out there. A possible addition to the property would have been the provision of a couple of fans as it was extremely hot at night making sleeping difficult. That said, the beds were extremely comfortable! Laundry facilities were super and plenty of cleaning equipment provided. It was a shame towels and bedding were not included but we managed to bring all our own. Overall, a fantastic holiday home which we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit this region. Two weeks just wasn't enough !
