Excellent well maintained/managed villa in a quiet location with easy access to towns and beaches
This property is a genuine 'must consider' for anyone looking for a holiday villa in the South of France. Immaculately maintained inside and out, the property is a natural home from home. The kitchen meets family requirements with dual fuel hob, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine etc - there is also a fantastic outdoor barbecue and mini kitchen set-up by the pool. The American fridge/freezer was a helpful addition to limit wasting time on trips to the nearby supermarket.
The lounge has a functional array of comfortable yet 'hard wearing and easy to clean' leather sofa's with a large smart TV and satellite channels (limited English options). The 3 bedrooms are all spacious with plenty of cupboard and drawer spaces for anyone on a longer stay.
The modern bathroom was impeccably clean and well maintained.
The pool was clean on arrival and is cleaned weekly. There were also a range of pool inflatables and toys for kids (and adults alike).
The location of this property is a relatively quiet area of Bessans - a vehicle is really a must if you are wanting to get out and about. Prices in the region were all reasonable when travelling out and about. We visited many of the beaches in the area and were pleased to be able to make use of buckets, spades, footballs etc available at the villa. There are plenty of local markets which provide a mix of local produce and goods at reasonable prices. There are so many places to visit for local day trips, whether your interests lie in culture, beaches, walking, shopping or keeping the kids entertained (Dinosaur park with fossils, Lego museum to name a few). If you are wanting to travel a bit further, the Zoo in Montpellier is a must, just one hour drive away, entrance is free and the animals including lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhino's etc are all accommodated in spacious natural environments (be prepared for a reasonable amount of walking often over a number of rough paths). Further afield, the historic port city of Marseille is approximately a two hour drive away, whilst Girona (Spain) and the Pyrenees about the same about the same in the other direction all offer great alternative options for days out and about, especially if you are staying for a slightly longer duration.
All in all, this property offers outstanding comfort, value for money and accessibility to a wide range of activities and opportunities to experience French culture (especially local food and wine)! This property comes highly recommended.
