Forcalqueiret villas

The property was perfectly located for walks and day trips. You definitely needed a car because villa was quite remote. Pool lovely. Facilities lovely.

The villa was extremely well equipped and well situated with easy access to the supermarket and boulangerie. On Friday nights it was great to feel the community spirit at the local restaurant where a band plays during July and August, and a meal is prepared specially. The huge paella was delicious. Whilst it was so good to chill by the pool the villa is also well placed to visit the Gorges du Verdon, Aix-en-Provence and other beautiful places. Thoroughly recommend both the villa and it’s very obliging owner.

A lovely, homely villa. Everything you could need was provided. The outside area was fabulous, and very well maintained. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

I cannot recommend this beautiful villa highly enough. I stayed there for two weeks with my three children (aged 8, 15 and 18) and although the plan was to spend several days visiting towns and beaches along the Cote d'Azure we actually only ended up leaving the villa a couple of times in the end because we loved it so much! The villa is immaculately equipped throughout, with air conditioning in the main living area and the ensuite bedroom. The main living area also had a reclining sofa that my kids just adored and there was an arcade games machine in one of the bedrooms with all the old arcade games on, including Asteroids, Lunar Landing, Space Invaders, Missile Command, Street Fighter to name but a few. Never mind the kids, I was reliving my childhood! There was a wonderful outdoor kitchen area (except sadly we weren’t allowed to use the pizza oven because it had been banned by local authorities due to the risk of causing forest fire) and a large terrace with a view to die for stretching out across the vineyards to the mountains beyond. The pool was beautiful and was permanently occupied by my young daughter, and there was even a large area at the front of the villa where we could play Petanque (balls provided). It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into every detail of the villa and the result was a very special holiday for us. Pascal and Sylvie were extremely charming hosts, explaining everything to us very clearly upon arrival but then leaving us to ourselves for the remainder of the time! Once again, thank you Pascal and Sylvie for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful home, we hope we may be able to return someday!

The property is lovely; spacious, clean with great views over the village. The outlook as you wake each morning is wonderful. The pool is a good size with added bonus of the small bar area for cold drinks. Comfy beds and excellently equipped. We enjoyed the table tennis, boules and table football which was slightly rickety but added to the fun. We used in the village the great boulangerie, small shop, bar and pizza takeaway. Around one hour we visited a number of beaches, St Tropez, Lake St Cassien and Marsaille. Cotignac is a lovely village to visit too. Therese was very welcoming and contactable if needed - her husband cleans the pool and is lovely too.

As a family of 3 we were very happy in this property. Externally there is a large, pretty garden, a pétanque area, a trampoline and a fantastic swimming pool. There’s also a garage to keep the car cool and secure gates to the entire plot. There are good, long distance forest views of 180 degrees from the villa and pool area. The property faces South and therefore has the sun for morning, day and evening pleasure. Internally there are 4 well appointed bedrooms along with 3 modern bathrooms. The villa was sparkling clean (the cleanest of the many villas that we’ve ever stayed in) and very well equipped (everything was brand new). There are many pretty villages within a 15-20 min radius & Sophie’s restaurant recommendations for lazy lunches were spot on. Garéoult is a 4 min drive down the hill and is a pleasant, authentic village with a pretty church. The friendly, well travelled and hospitable owners are discreet yet on hand (in person or via WhatsApp) for any advice or problems which we found very helpful. We hope to visit again soon and wish Sophie and Michel all the very best.
