About this property

Pretty village house with garden

This charming and cosy village house is situated in the oldest and quietest part of La Garde Freinet, yet just 2 minutes walk from shops, restaurants and fun village life. The small private walled garden makes this a unique choice for your holiday.

You enter the property from the historic square, passing through a gate into your own private garden. Here you will find a table with chairs, under the shade of the wisteria and jasmine as well as plenty of potted plants. There are some comfortable reclining chairs for enjoying an afternoon snooze in the sun or shade, as you prefer!

Entering the house the main floor consists of an open plan kitchen, a dining table which will seat 6 people, and a comfortable seating area with flat screen TV on which you can watch one of the DVDs provided or connect up your gadget to watch whatever you like using the WIFI provided.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge/freezer, oven, gas & electric hob, dishwasher, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine.
For winter visits there is an electric wall heater but also a wood burning stove if it gets very chilly.

The second floor has a large, sunny triple bedroom with both a double and single bed, wardrobe, shelves and double doors leading out onto a sunny balcony which overlooks the garden. There is a separate bathroom on this floor with a bath with shower attachment, toilet sink and the washing machine, ironing board and iron are also found here.

On the top floor is the very large, airy master bedroom, with a king size double bed, extensive fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with a spacious shower, toilet and sink. There is a hairdryer tucked away under the sink for your convenience. The windows offer a lovely view across the village, as well as a wonderful through breeze to keep you cool in summer.

Both bedrooms have portable electric fans for summer, heating for winter, and bed linens and bath towels are provided. Please bring you own beach towels.

The history of the house and this part of the village is quite an interesting one - constructed in the mid 1800s at a time when the cork industry was booming rumours have it that Place de l'Amour was so named because the houses were bordellos servicing the cork workers.

Nestled in the heart of the Maures Mountains, the old provençal village of La Garde Freinet has successfully preserved its authentic character. Set in a forest you will arrive along picturesque roads which wind through a wild and wonderfully natural landscape.

The heart of the village is where you will find a choice of bars and restaurants where you can while away many an hour watching the eclectic mix of locals and visitors pass by.

Market days are Sundays and Wednesdays, always the busiet time in the village when it really comes to life. For other days there are a choice of small grocery shops, bakers, butchers and other interesting little shops well worth a browse.

La Garde Freinet is an ideal choice for a holiday - you will be away from the crowds that populate the coastal towns, yet near enough to visit these beautiful towns and gorgeous beaches as often as you like. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, there is a public open-air swimming pool and there are numerous walks and hikes to help you really explore the area.

Côte d'Azur entspannt
Wir haben eine Woche mit unserem 2 1/2jährigen und unserem Hund in diesem wirklich wunderhübschen und gemütlichen Dorfhaus verbracht. Es ist noch viel geräumiger als es auf den Bildern wirkt und bestens ausgestattet. Auf dem Tisch standen duftende Pfingstrosen und Für uns besonders angenehm war der kleine, geschlossene Vorgarten/Innenhof mit dem schicken Gasgrill, in welchem unser Sohn gefahrlos im Schatten der blühenden Blumen spielen konnte. Auch für unseren Hund war das toll. Ein paar Schritte hinter dem Haus führt schon der kleine Weg in den Wald und hoch bis zum Fort Freinet - ein schöner Spaziergang mit einigen anspruchsvolleren Passagen und herrlichen Ausblicken auf das Dorf. Auch der Weg ins Dorfzentrum selbst ist durch malerische Gassen angenehm auch mit dem Bollerwagen zu laufen: dort gibt es einige hübsche Geschäfte, Cafés und Restaurants, sowie eine sehr gute Bäckerei, alles was man braucht zu Fuss ohne grosse Steigung zu erreichen - nicht selbstverständlich in den alten Dörfern der Gegend. Alles war sehr entspannt und unaufgeregt. In der Saison ist es wahrscheinlich trubeliger. Schnell ist man auch in Grimaud und an der Küste. Aber auch das Hinterland ist wunderschön! Um einen Urlaub mit Kind und Hund an der Cote d'Azur zu verbringen können wir das Haus sehr empfehlen! Eins der hübschesten und bestgelegensten Häuser in denen wir waren (und das waren schon viele). Einzig das Parken direkt vor dem Haus war nicht immer möglich. Danke Rebecca! Cati, Jan und Flint

Joli village
Jolie maison au calme bien équipée dans charmant village aux ruelles étroites à 2 mn à pied des commerces, bars, restaurants . Seul bémol le stationnement il faut se garer à l entrée du village ou prendre son mal en patience car il n y a pas de place réservée devant la maison.

Winter in La Garde Freinet
Meine Familie verbrachte wunderschöne Wintertage im Dezember und Januar in La Garde Freinet und Umgebung. Das Haus war wie beschrieben und bot viel Platz für 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder. Durch die geschmackvolle und reichhaltige Ausstattung fühlten wir uns sehr wohl in dem kleinen Haus. Der gusseiserne Ofen half, die kalten Winterabende gemütlich zu machen. Rebecca ist eine sehr gute Gastgeberin, die gut kommunizierte und alle Fragen im Vorfeld beantwortete. Alles war unkompliziert. Eine sehr gute Erfahrung, die wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen können.

A wee gem!
We had a fantastic two weeks in La Garde Freinet (our third holiday in a row there) made even better by our accommodation. Becky’s house is a wee gem. Clean, well equipped and comfortable.....a home from home! The cute little “private” front garden with a gas BBQ was a real bonus for us. We enjoyed many a glass of wine after a long day out as well as a few BBQs. Becky is a brilliant host; very approachable and on hand when needed. La Garde Freinet is a very special place for us....we will return again some day! Clive & Julie Belfast Northern Ireland

We loved our stay in La Garde-Freinet. Quaint little village with everything one needs. Close enough to the beaches to enjoy the sun and far enough from the crowds to enjoy the tranquility.

Ein romantisches Zuhause im Urlaub
In einem entzückenden Ort im Hinterland von St. Tropez bietet Rebecca Saxby ihr reizendes Dorfhäuschen an. Nicht nur wegen der ruhigen Lage und der familiären Atmosphäre des Dorfes haben wir uns als kleine Familie hier vom ersten Moment an wohl gefühlt. Auf der schattigen & hübsch bepflanzten Terrasse lässt es sich auch bei Hitze bestens aushalten. Im Haus ist alles, was man braucht, die ein oder andere Küchenausstattung könnte noch dazukommen (z.B. ein großes Sieb). Besonders schön ist das luftige große Schlafzimmer im 2. Stock, zu dem eine steile Treppe führt. Alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet, auch das Kinderzimmer mit dem kleinen Balkon hat romantischen Flair. Tagsüber ans Meer und abends noch schnell hoch zum Kreuz oder zur Festung von La Garde Freinet wandern und die Aussicht & den Himmel genießen - so geht die Seele baumeln lassen!

maison qui a un certain charme
Maison bien située (non loin de la mer et permettant des visites à l'intérieur des terres), au calme malgré les animations estivales du village qui est assez dynamique. Des ustensiles de cuisine pourraient être rajoutés comme une casserole et une poêle, et certains trous notamment dans la cuisine devraient être rebouchés. Le fait que le linge de maison (draps, serviettes de toilette et torchons) soit fourni et changé une fois par semaine est un luxe appréciable.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Saxby

Host profile image
I moved to La Garde Freinet in 2003 and bought this house a few months later. It was my home for 10 happy years but a larger family necessitated a move to larger premises! I continue to live in the village, however, and manage the property myself, welcoming you on arrival and answering any questions you might have about the house or the local area.

What makes this property unique

A village house with a garden is a rarity in La Garde Freinet so I just knew it was the house for me and I fell in love with it immediately. The quiet location, so close to the centre of the village, were also big factors in my decision to buy this house.
