Villa Bauduen

This is a fantastic villa, well equipped for a comfortable stay in a stunning location. We really enjoyed the area - swimming and paddle boarding in the lake and cycling. Bauduen is a small village, very pretty with restaurants to enjoy. I really recommend this villa if you like the quiet life - hopefully we will return!

Fabulous villa, really well equipped

We had a fantastic stay at Wim’s villa. The outdoor space is fantastic with hammocks, reclining chairs, full sized table tennis, nice pool etc. the kitchen is well equipped and plenty of table space inside and out. It’s quite a steep drive/walk to the village but once there there are some nice restaurants and nice lake access. Some fantastic runs/walks/cycles around the area.

Beautiful Bauduen

Beautiful villa fully equipped with lovely pool, hammocks & table tennis table. View of bauduen across the lake - where we hired paddle boards/ pedalo with slide etc. The lake is lovely to swim in and you can walk down very steep road to quiet -own little beach. Bauduen has lots of lovely places to eat - but it’s a 5 minute drive away rather than a walk in the heat. Peaceful, stunning and relaxing spot.

We’ve just got back from a wonderful week at Wim’s villa. He’s an extremely responsive host, quickly answering all queries. We love Bauduen - the lake is spectacular and we spent a lot of time in and on the water. And of course canyoning in the gorge - wow! We’re already talking about returning. The only improvement would be to have mosquito screens on the bedroom doors and windows so you could open them for a cooler night. Having said this there are fans in all bedrooms which do help with the heat. Thank you Wim!

Amazing property, set in beautiful surroundings.

This was an amazing property to have had the pleasure of staying in. It is located up in the hills just outside the pretty little town of Bauduen. The property caters well for everyone having everything you could possibly need for your stay. Wim the owner lists his property with great detail and what you see is what you get. The four of us stayed a week in May, weather was amazing for time of year. Perfectly located for visiting the Gorges Du Verdon which is an absolute must, Sillans waterfall, Lac Sainte Croix and hiring boats, Bauden town itself plus a short walk takes you above the property and you get amazing views of the lake, plus much more if you have the time. The property was clean, beds comfortable adequate things to do from table tennis, boules, board games, dvds, lovely swimming pool and a large gas BBQ, what more could you want. Lots of beautiful drive out places all with lovely views. Another plus is you get good sunshine pretty much all day and great sunsets over the lake. If I were to suggest one thing that would be having mesh fitted to windows so they can be open at night and the mosquitos stay out other than we loved it.

Prima verblijf

Wij hebben genoten van dit mooie huis en de locatie. Alles is aanwezig en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ook een ideale ligging voor onze hond: het wandelgebied begint in principe al bij de voordeur en niet te vergeten het mooie wandelpad langs het meer van St. Croix (auto parkeren aan het eind van het dorp).

Das Haus, der Garten und der Pool sind toll. Die Ausstattung ist besser als bei vielen anderen Ferienhäusern. Die Kinder haben die Hängematten geliebt (5 Jahre und 19 Jahre - passt also für verschiedene Altersgruppen). Die Umgebung ist ruhig und der See schnell erreichbar. Dort haben wir schöne Spaziergänge gemacht. Die Kommunikation mit Wim lief super. Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a large Belgian family, who have been spending their holidays since many years in the Provence... as we always tried to obtain a high quality for ourselves, we do share this now with our guests.

Wim@vercauteren.be

Why they chose this property

We are about addicted to the Provence, that's why we decided to buy our own holiday house... to spend a lot of time in it ourselves, to rent it for the rest of the season..

What makes this property unique

In the past, we have been disappointed quiet often by the poor quality of the houses we have been renting.. That's why we decided to go for the best comfort... Boxspring bed, espresso machine with fresh beans, a comfortable loungeset and sunbeds besides the swimming pool, a large 4K flatscreen with satellite TV, leather seats in the living room, etc..
