Our party of 4 adults & 2 small children stayed for 2 weeks at the end of August and really enjoyed our stay. Located in a nice area across the main costal road from the sea, the mid terrace villa is set in well kept grounds with security gates, parking for 2 cars, roller blinds on the villa windows and a small safe for passports etc. so we felt very safe & secure. On site there is a fenced in swimming pool (unheated) with 4 dedicated sun loungers while a rear gate gives access to a shingle beach & wooded area via an underpass. Downstairs is open plan with a well equipped kitchen, nicely decorated dining/lounge area and a TV, DVD player, cable/sat receiver with mainly European channels but we managed to find BBC World News plus a couple of English speaking news channels. The owners had thoughtfully provided a selection of DVDs which the children really appreciated. WiFi was free & reasonably fast. Sliding doors leads to a patio area with a 4 seat table and a small south facing garden with 2 more loungers & chairs plus a BBQ. The master bedroom has an en-suite with shower & a balcony with sea view (ideal for Grandparents). The second bedroom is a small double & the third has bunk beds. The bathroom has a bath & shower attachment plus a washing machine. Bed linen & towels were not changed during our fortnight but we were able to easily wash & dry them.
The shops are approx. 1km away with a supermarket at either end of the strip. Fresh bread & English newspapers are available. There is a small park with swings etc. in the middle opposite the port, quite a few restaurants & a sandy beach. Market day is Monday.
A car is essential – ours had a satnav which we found really useful. Les Issambres is a good base with Ste Maxime, Port Grimaud, Cannes, Antibes, Nice & Monaco all worth a visit & there is a ferry direct from Les Issambres port to St Tropez (15 euros return).
Overall it is a nice villa in a good location - remember to take insect repellent to this part of France.
