3 Bed lägenhet med balkong trippel glas och havsutsikt 2 minuter från stranden

We are a professional couple with 3 young girls working in London and living in the Chilterns. We live an active lifestyle combining snowboarding, skiing, gym, swimming and hiking. Time is precious and we like to maximise our family holiday time between our house in Austria and the apartment in France.

We were looking for an overseas property next to the sea and spotted this apartment in 2013. It is a few hundred metres from the beach and forms part of a set of apartments previously connected to the Hotel Les Roches opposite, which was a favourite haunt of Hollywood stars in the 1950's. The hotel and the apartments have been renovated to a high standard and with the help of the developer we have created an airy bright apartment with a balcony that looks out onto the sea. The main bedroom has an atrium and is filled with light. The sandy beach is a minutes walk which has a number of beach restaurants, though the lane itself has a host of great restaurants and hotels. Le Lavandou is a buzzing but sophisticated port and town located c 40 mins walk along the coast.

The main selling point is the beach which is a minute walk from the apartment which is great for the children. The lane is off the main coastal road and the restaurants and hotels do not get as busy as neighbouring villages. There are beaches within walking distance either side of Aiguebelle which can be accessed either along the rocks in the sea or the cycle path which skirts the coast road.
