Hyères is one of the loveliest towns on the Côte d’Azur, with long palm-lined streets of elegant Victorian villas (a reminder of the fact that Hyères was the first town on the Côte to be discovered by the English in the nineteenth century). The center of the town is a medieval market place with colorful shops and stalls selling all Provençale specialties and above the town is the famous castle Ste Claire where concerts and other open air events are held throughout the summer months.

Coastal day trips from Hyères include the local islands (frequent ferry crossings), St Tropez, Cannes, Nice, and Monte Carlo. Easily accessible inland are Aix-en-Provence, Cotignac, Lorgues, Tourtour, and the other hill villages of the Haut Var.

The villa is in a private domain on a hill which overlooks the sea, outside the town of Hyères. There are two tennis courts and a great deal of green space and woodland. The environment is very peaceful and quiet, even in mid-summer.

The villa is on the most privileged site, surrounded by 100 year old pine trees, flowering mimosa, and a well established garden. There are magnificent views of the sea and the three islands off the coast. The apartment to rent is on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms, a sitting/dining room, kitchen, shower room (separate water closet), and direct access to the large garden (which has table and chairs for eating out). The garden surrounds the house and there is a private and secluded area with its own garden furniture for the exclusive use of the apartment. The tennis courts are a few houses away. It is an easy walk to the beach (two kilometers by foot, four kilometers by car).

The kitchen is well-equipped, with a dishwasher, washing machine, large refrigerator and freezer, cooker, toaster, electric kettle, coffee maker, etc. The sitting room is very comfortable, with a pretty Provençale sofa, easy chairs, color TV, books, and magazines. There is an oak dining table with six chairs.

One of the bedrooms has a double bed and the other has two single beds. They are both well decorated with Liberty curtains, rugs, bedside lamps, and plenty of storage space. It is not at all like a holiday let. The swimming pool (12 x 5 meters) is well away from the house, surrounded by Provençale shrubs, geraniums, and pine trees.

Romantic 19th century Mediterranean villa with large pool and sea views!
