About this property
Villa - large terraces - Views of the Sea and the Hills of Cap Benat
New: Central air conditioning installed March 2024. Screens for bedroom windows ordered. Delivery expected July 2024.
A real home away from home in the South of France. Books and artwork -- our home. Not an austere rental property. Comfortable places to read or work. Great for mid-day naps. Room to entertain, and space to be alone. Everything you could need for a week or a month. With WiFi, this house gives remote working new meaning.
The house is 10 minutes from sea beaches with waterfront restaurants; walking distance to the old village with boulangeries, restaurants and a Wednesday market, or perfect for staying at home. Enjoy breakfast with fresh fruits and bakery on the terrace. Take a trip to the local markets or go antiquing. Find a new restaurant (or an old favorite) for lunch and come home for dip in the pool, an outside shower, and a nap. After the nap, enjoy an aperitif and watch the sunset before cooking dinner or going out and end the day with ice cream in the old village and a walk home.

About the host
Hosted by Jill R. Shellow
We are not "vacation rental owners." This is our home away from home -- literally. We want to share it with people who will enjoy and respect it. We live in the United States. in the suburbs of New York City. We are lawyers. The grandparents, parents and probably the grandchild -- all lawyers.
Why they chose this property
In 1982, at a New Year's day party, we came across an advertisement to rent a fort in Bormes-les-Mimosas. (The Vieux Chateau -- which is now a private home.) But after 10+ years of seasonal renting, we bought this house. It is all about location, location, location. It is a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport at Hyeres/Toulon (TLN). Two hours by car to either the airport in Marseilles (MRS) or Nice (NCE), and four hours from Paris on the TGV into Toulon where it is easy to rent a car. One other thing that is special -- because we do not live year round in the house, there is a permanent gardienne (caretaker) who lives in an apartment on the lower level. She has her own fully equipped apartment with her own doors and terrace. Her job is to maintain the pool and the grounds. She will not enter the house while you are there unless she is welcomed. And she is fluent in French and English.
What makes this property unique
Gardienne on premises is a valuable resource for things to do, places to go and wonderful restaurants.
