  We have stayed on numerous occasions with two to three other families. The property is spacious and has everything you need to make it a relaxing and enjoyable week. The house itself is well laid out, giving everyone space to make their own. It's charm comes from the fact that it is clearly a much loved and well looked after family home. The new kitchen with everything you need, makes eating in very straightforward. I only wish I had as much refrigeration space in the UK. The large supermarkets are easily reached and the local village of Bargemon has the essential bakery, small shops and several restaurants & bars. The pool is large and well looked after, with plenty of places to sit in the sun and the shade. That with the tennis courts, trampoline, boules and very large garden meant that the children can easily keep themselves entertained and allow the adults to have some peace and quiet of their own. The safety fence around the pool is reassuring when the kids are young. Over the last few visits we have made some trips out to the Lac (pedalos and giant inflatables), the Gorge du Verdon (kayaking) and a local water park. More importantly, every year, we visit many of the local vineyards to decide which wine we like best. The holiday would not be complete without a few large glasses of wine on the terrace late into the evening. I would thoroughly recommend this for all ages, there is so much to do if you want it and equally a great place to sit and read your book if that's what you need. It is a really special place.

  We have stayed at Le Lauron on several occasions and always had the most marvellous holidays. The house is spacious and cool in the heat of summer. The bedrooms are well positioned so that you aren't on top of everyone else. The two sitting rooms are comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped for cooking meals for large groups and it's so easy to access the shady terrace to eat. As a couple with young children, knowing the pool is securely fenced is a huge comfort. It's difficult to want to leave Le Lauron to explore, the setting is so peaceful and there are enough things to keep you occupied on-site - boules, tennis, swimming, playing the piano, sampling the delicious local rose - but if you do, there are lots of things to visit. The village has a wonderful, shaded square in which the cafes have set up tables & chairs. The village shop and bakeries/butcher mean easy, local shopping is available too. We have enjoyed wine tastings, the local goat farm and motorcar museum, as well as countless restaurants. Best of all though is a picnic up at Bargeme, a ruined church with views to die for. I would happily come back time after time.

  From start to finish we had a very good experience. Owner was very friendly and helpful. The house was all we had joped for and more - very atrractive and with a beautiful location and grounds. We would completely recommend this as a top place for a holiday - whether you are active (swimming, tennis, table tennis!, boule, wandering around the grounds) or just sitting in the sun under trees or around the ppool. Inside there's good-sized bedrooms and a brilliant kitchen.

  We have stayed in many different holiday homes all over the world and on different budgets. My wife and I rate this the best we've ever been in. Given what's on offer, it's very reasonably priced. The facilities are excellent: top class tennis court, big garden, lovely big swimming pool, boules, table tennis and just lots of nice areas to sit out and relax. But the big difference here is that as well a a greeat outdoors, the inside is also fab. Very conpofortable; three reception rooms. Sky Sports on the TV (big bonus!) - and millins of books. Bedrooms are large and nicely done; there's wifi, and it's just a proper house done properly. Nice couple that look after the house, too, who were very helpful.

  Incredible house - we loved the views and the stuning garden. Thanks so much for letting us stay. The children had a great time in the pool, and we played a lot of tennis on the court. Nice to have tabel tennis, too, when it got too hot! We will definitely come again.

  We have been returning to this property for a number of years. From little children through to teenagers and the older generation it's a perfect holiday home. The accommodation inside is wonderful and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms are always clean and tidy with plenty of towels. The french couple who look after the property are very friendly and helpful. The outside areas are lovely with many different places to sit and relax depending on whether it's for lunchtime or evening aperitifs and meals or just to soak up the sunshine. With just a short 10 minute walk to the village it's great for teenagers and young children alike. The village has a huge number of different restaurants catering for all tastes. The village square is a perfect place to sit and people watch with a coffee or a little vin rose! It really is a home from home and I would thoroughly recommend this stunning property.

  Thank you for an excellent week in the sun. Beautiful house, very comfortable and spacious - like staying in a top hotel but with no one else getting in the way! We loved the views ion particular; it is a magical location and we long to go back and have some more long lunches and afternoons by the pool. One other thing thta other reviewers don't seem to have mentioned: the local village is really nice and pretty and has good restaurants. A nice option if you don't feel like cooking every night. Thanks for a perfect week.

  We've been lucky enough to stay at Le Lauron twice and thoroughly enjoyed each time. Our first holiday there was with three other couples and we had such a fun time drinking rose around the table under the pergola outside, swimming, tennis, going out to Bargemon and visiting Draguinon. Our second holiday was quite different, with four babies, and was every bit as enjoyable - the children loved the pool, the house has every baby convenience you could need and we could push buggies up to Bargemon to potter around. Le Lauron really has something for everyone. The house is incredibly comfortable and I understand has been a home to its owners in the past, not just a holiday house - and this really shows. The pool is wonderful and the view stunning, and there is so much to do and see nearby. Wholeheartedly recommended.

  We have stayed at wonderful Le Lauron a number of times and simply love it. It is such a characterful family house in a fantastic position with superb views and upon arrival one is almost instantly relaxed. The family have some lovely furniture and paintings and there are endless bookshelves with interesting paperbacks to read by the pool. It feels more like a home than a holiday house. We have enjoyed many happy long lunches and evenings drinking the local rose with our friends on the shady terrace. The recent addition of the boule pitch is a great touch. Le Lauron is situated just below Bargemon, which is an unspoilt large village and is a good walk up the hill and well worth wandering around - great little boutiques, antique shops etc and more fabulous views. St Tropez and the Gorges du Verdun are fun for day trips although we rarely move from Le Lauron now we have a young family who tend to spend all day every day in the swimming pool (super shallow end for beginners)! The gardens and pool are beautifully maintained by the guardien who is really friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

  I cannot recommend Le Lauron highly enough: great location, stunning scenery, first rate facilities (swimming and tennis) and extremely comfortable accommodation. All this, together with very drinkable (and affordable) local wine makes the overall Le Lauron package hard to beat!
