House with large pool in private property of 17 hectares, 1km from the village

Spent a lovely week here with beautiful weather throughout. Very comfortable rooms and all necessary facilities provided. Carine extremely helpful and friendly throughout, suggesting places for us to eat and visit

If you love a comfortable home to stay in, in a stunning location with all the peace and quiet you could wish for, La Source is for you. Set in 17 hectares of olive groves and woodland, with lovely long and short walk galore, it's a nature-lover's paradise. You're so close to the Med, though, that if you climb up to the top of the hill you can see it. Carine had decorated a Christmas tree for us and put out other Xmas decorations and even bottles of wine, and we could not have felt more welcome. It's the perfect place to stay. Our dog Jerry does NOT like to be taken from his own home and usually protests on holidays by refusing to eat part of his meals, but at La Source he had no such qualms. That's how lovely it was! In the summertime the pool will be lovely, I'm sure, and there's enough shade to escape the boiling sun. We were there at Christmas time and it was simply perfect. Thank you, Carine.

Four of us stayed in this peaceful and comfortable property in September.

Carine was most helpful during the booking process and after our arrival, giving advice on the local area and recommending places to eat.

The property appears isolated but is within a 5-10 minute drive of Bormes les Mimosas village and beaches at Le Lavandou and Cabasson. The villa was spacious, with comfortable bedrooms and a well eqipped kitchen and no less than 3 outside tables plus a gas BBQ. Carine kindly provided a selection of boules, so we had several enjoyable Petanque competitions. We had problems working the TV and no bicycles were available but we had fun without these. The swimming pool was delightful and provided a good way to wake up each morning. The grounds covered 17 acres and there is a brilliant if strenuous walk up the hill behind the property - all the way to Bormes les Mimosas. We ate excellent lunches at beach restaurants, La Pinede and Siesta (recommended) and were also impressed with that at Cabasson beach.The village of Bormes was delightful (though no Mimosa in September!) and was very photogenic. We had a memorable lunch at La Terrasse and particularly enjoyed Daube de Boeuf, one of it's signature dishes. The whole week was washed down with copious quantities of excellent Cotes du Provence Rose (at around 5 euros a bottle!

We travelled from Ashford on Eurostar to Marseille where we hired a car for the 80 minute journey to the villa and would thoroughly recommend this route.

Finally, thanks again to Carine for helping us to make the most of our week.

It is a haven of peace in the hills, a dumping in nature with olive trees, cork oaks and the sweets sounds of Provence. The perfect place to relax. The house is so cozy that feels like home. We could live there, we wait to return there....

Thanks to those who make of our stay a pure moment of happiness ;-)

Me and my family had a great time here, lovely place.

Hope to return soon !
