We wanted to get away from the hussle and bussle of Christmas so booked up for Christmas week at this lovely villa in Le Bar -sur-Loup.
We weren't disappointed, the location is quiet and private, the villa is spotless and the decor is bright and fresh. The main living area is large open and airy. The kitchen is very well equipt with ample crockery ,utensils etc. The bedrooms are a generous size and the beds are comfy and linen very fresh and clean. The two upstairs bathrooms (main and ensuite) have been recently completely refurbished wit good quality fittings , we were the first to use them apparently,
T.V., Wifi and other electrical appliances all worked well with no problems once we were shown how to use them by the manager.
Although we were there in winter we could still use the several outside seating areas to enjoy the amazing views and even managed a barbeque the weather was so mild! The garden is large and set on typical provençale terraces leading down to the quiet road and only 5 minutes drive from either the village of Le Bar sur Loup which has some excellent restaurants or Chateauneuf pré du lac which has cafés, bakers, bookshop, nice square to sit in and an Irish pub. The supermarket is 10-15 minutes away (the English speaking manager who was very obliging with his meet and greet and local knowledge of where to go and what to see at that time of year also how to get to the supermarket and stuff like that).
The villa is in a good location between sea and mountain lakes and very pretty villages. The view is breathtaking over to the village, mountains and the valley below.
A great cycling location for the green cycle trails.
Our stay was exactly what we were looking for over the Christmas period and felt we really had a relaxing break.
Thanks you Sarah, we hope to come back in the summer months to enjoy your pool!!
