Rental Rates for the villa in Var, Cote d'Azur - Provence, France



Rental Basis:

Quoted In
British Pounds
  Dates Rates  
Name of Period Begins Ends Weekly Weekend Weekend Per Night MidWeek Per Night Extra night Monthly Minimum Stay
2009-10 Oct-April Nov 1 2009 - Apr 30 2010 £2,200 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 1 Week

2010 July/Aug Jun 26 2010 - Sep 3 2010 £2,750 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 2 Weeks
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

  • The house, the garden, the pool and its surrounds are designed and finished to the highest 'Cote Sud' standards by award-winning designers and architects.
    The garden is fully planted, and much of the garden was designed by TV and Sunday Times garden writer James Alexander-Sinclair, and the garden architecture by Alexander Jackson. Payment may be made in any currency, within reason, and arrangements for this can be discussed with us. We ask for 50% of the rental to be paid on booking and the remainder no less than 4 weeks prior to start of rental period. We are afraid that we also need to ask you for a cheque as a guarantee against damages for £400 before the rental period, which we will tear up as soon as Magali assures us that all is well!
    Finally, whilst we do not specify UK School half-term dates above, we normally charge a premium of £200 per week for these periods.
  • The pool has heating available, but due to the cost of running it, we have to ask for €200 per week, if you wish to have it on. We find that it really only needs to be on in the shoulder months, and personally we only have it on from mid-October till the end of the swimming season, and again over Easter, till the sun warms it up in May.

Notes:

The house was completed recently to the very highest standards, with extensive award-winning designer inputs. The British owners built the house as their 'Grand Design Abroad', and the garden has now matured nicely. The house itself is very elegant and roomy, very easy to live in,and is built on a woody slope, which gives it such stunning views. Many children, and several octogenarians, have already stayed, with no problems so far. The infinity swimming pool 'drops away' down the slope of the garden to give a full panoramic view across the valley and surrounding mountains. The pool has heating available, but this is really only required in the shoulder months(at extra cost, we're afraid) A brand new top-end Weber gas barbecue is provided and next to the pool ,there is a 'summer kitchen' with running hot water, kettle etc, a fridge for your drinks. And also a loo. Please enjoy, on arrival, our gift of a 5-litre box of excellent local Rose. It awaits you in the fridge

Further Details for the villa in Var, Cote d'Azur - Provence, France

Cleaning and general The house will have been thoroughly prepared for your arrival, and Magali will come in every Saturday (at our cost!) to do some cleaning during your stay. Please let us know if you want her to come in more often, and we can help make arrangements. The house is very easy to keep clean with stone floors throughout, and a Hoover, mops etc are all to be found in the utility room, behind the kitchen. Any phone numbers you may need (plumber, electrician etc) are to be found in the house book. Please take your rubbish to the nearest communal bins on the road above the house, and the recycling areas. If you do this frequently, it makes life easier, as we have found! Please try to leave the house as clean and tidy as possible, since there is often a very short time between departures and arrivals. Fiona, who is English but lives in the village, looks after the garden and may also visit you to mow lawns or do small garden jobs, but she will take care not to disturb your peace and quiet!

Pool Magali's husband, Patrick, looks after the pool and will visit the house once or twice a week during your stay, depending on weather conditions. He will do all the necessary to keep the pool looking sparkling, and if you wish to offer him a glass of Pastis, or Rose, he is always ready for a chat about Rugby, Politics or the heat! An infinity pool requires no additional attention. Patrick's number is in the house book and he will usually be able to come quickly if there is any type of pool problem....or indeed most other types of problem as well! Heating is available at an extra charge of €200 per week, but is only really needed in the 'shoulder months'. Please let us know if you want it, so that we can put it on in time for your arrival.

Food, wine and spirits You will find on arrival a 5 litre box of the excellent local Rose in the fridge in the Utility room. Please enjoy this, as our welcoming gift. You will also find both spirits and most of the basic food requirements ready for you (Oil, salt, pepper, etc), and we try to operate this on an 'honesty' basis, so if you find that for instance the Vodka has mysteriously 'evaporated' during your stay, please top it up. You will be amazed and delighted how cheap Spirits are compared to UK. In the House book, you will find pretty comprehensive details of restaurants, vineyards, supermarkets, markets, good local shops etc.

Golf Information: We are not golfers ourselves, but many of our friends and renters talk very positively about the courses nearby....varying from the two Championship courses at the Four Seasons resort in Fayence, to the excellent and somewhat cheaper, St Endreol, at the end of the Vallee d'Esclans. Both of these are about 20 minutes away. Full details of these and another course about 30 minutes away in the mountains, which apparently is also excellent if energetic with magnificent views, can be found in the House book on arrival. The best golfing months are usually any time except July and August, when it can get pretty hot and the courses are full of seasonal visitors. Whilst it can of course rain a bit in almost any month, our golfing friends have so far had excellent golf in February, May, and October. Out of season, we are also happy to help you take advantage of the cheaper flights, by renting out, if available, from midweek to midweek or for long weekends.

Other Activities Table tennis, Board and Pool games. Gliding at Fayence (20 mins), Skiing 1 hour.
