We had a 10 night stay at the Yellow House in August 2018, two families with 4 kids in total. The property is furnished to a high standard, with a kitchen that puts most other holiday villas to shame. I am a keen cook and was surprised at the sheer array of utensils available to create with!
The property is air conditioned throughout which is very welcome after a day by the pool in 35 degree heat and the bathrooms are cool and spacious, perfect for wrestling two children into the shower at the end of the day! The pool itself is lovely, just the right depth at both ends and heated so you don't get that bone chilling freeze when jumping in on a hot day. At the end of the day, there is an electric cover that we used each night not only from a safety aspect but also to ensure a bug and leaf free pool experience the following morning. There is also a pool alarm system useful if you have young children that like to wander.
The rest of the grounds are spacious and there is a secure/gated garden area to the rear of the property where the kids can safely play on the swings or kick a football about in.
The location of the property is perfect. 45 Minutes from Nice airport and very simple to find. We had day trips out to Frejus, St Maxime, St Tropez, Grasse and Monaco, all of which were 30-45 minutes away with the exception of Monaco which was little over an hour. You can pretty much access most of the major towns and cities across the south by hitting the A8. We also had a day out at the local lake (approx 5-10 min drive) - Lac du St Cassien - this is a must if you have kids. There is an inflatable Aqua Parc there (5 Euros for 30 mins) which was amazing and you can also hire Pedallos with slides on them which our kids loved. The water is clear and the lake stretches as far as the eye can see in all directions.
For food, there is a large Super U supermarket 5 minutes drive from the villa in Fayence which was perfect for all our needs. There is a slightly larger E.Leclerc about 10-15 minutes back towards the A8 but we found the Super U to be just as good and far more conveniently located. Fayence village itself is lovely and has a regular market 2-3 times per week with beautiful views across the valley and glider aerodrome.
I could very easily carry on writing in more detail about our experience but where would the fun be in that for you - hire the villa and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. Thank you David.
