A Puntos sits at the edge of the small hamlet of Mont de Marrast at the end of a long private drive. The house and gardens are completely private, with 2.5 acres of landscaped grounds to explore and enjoy.
The gardens are a real part of the holiday rather than simply somewhere around the house. There is room for children to play outdoor games while others relax nearby, along with quieter corners for reading or enjoying a glass of wine. The result is a setting that works equally well for family time, gatherings with friends or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of your surroundings as a couple.
The private salt water pool has its own generous terrace with eight loungers and a shaded pergola with comfortable seating. It is a space for long, unhurried days with swimming, reading, playing games or simply enjoying the countryside.
The main south-facing outdoor kitchen leads directly from the kitchen through French doors and is at the heart of everyday life at A Puntos. There is a large dining table for eight, comfortable shaded seating and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, pizza oven, plancha and fridge. Everything is close at hand, making it easy to prepare lunch, pour a drink and stay outside rather than constantly moving between the kitchen and garden.
It is equally suited to a slow breakfast, a long lunch that runs into the afternoon or dinner outside as the sun goes down. A second terrace at the front of the house provides a quieter spot overlooking the gardens, perfect for morning coffee, reading or an evening drink.
Inside, A Puntos combines the character of a traditional French farmhouse with the comfort and quality of a well-equipped modern home. The kitchen comfortably seats eight and has the workspace and equipment needed to cook properly for a group rather than simply prepare holiday basics. There is also a Sage coffee machine, a detail guests have specifically picked out in their reviews.
The sitting room provides a comfortable alternative when you want to get out of the sun or settle in for the evening, with a 45-inch Panasonic TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Sonos sound system and log burner.
The four bedrooms are individually furnished and complemented by two well-appointed bathrooms. Three bedrooms have air conditioning, providing comfortable sleeping conditions during the warmer summer months.
Fibre broadband with a mesh Wi-Fi system is available throughout the house, providing a strong and reliable connection wherever you are.
A Puntos has been designed to make the most of the way people actually want to spend their holiday. Cook together, eat outside, spend the afternoon by the pool, let the children play in the garden, enjoy the outdoor games or find a quiet corner and do absolutely nothing.
And it is often the details guests remember most: the proper coffee in the morning, the outdoor fridge when you are settled on the terrace, the games that keep everyone entertained and the freedom to spend your time exactly as you want. Whether you come for time together or simply to enjoy having space and privacy, A Puntos gives you plenty of both.
