Built in 2004, this wonderful 160-m2 villa with saltwater pool is set in a flat garden amid palms, cork oaks and mimosas. The 1.9-acre property is located beautifully and privately on top of a hill with panoramic views over the sea, over the vineyards surrounding La Londe and throughout the Valcros valley. The house has a beautifully designed palm garden with pool

The west-facing terrace is the perfect place to enjoy leisurely lunches and evenings with a glass of wine or simply to relax, swim and sunbathe in the peace and tranquillity of Valcros.

Part of the terrace is built in, with stylish outdoor dining furniture, BBQ and a bar, with sun till sun set.

We are ten minutes' drive from all amenities in La Londe and Port Miramar, where excellent restaurants and bistros, a bustling Sunday market and visits to wine-growing estates are just a few of the rich experiences offered in and around La Londe les Maures.

Having three bedrooms, a private garden and wonderful saltwater pool with outdoor shower, the house is perfect for families and couples, offering the facilities - and some of the luxuries - of a very comfortable home from which to explore and enjoy this beautiful and fascinating area.

The house has a charming private courtyard/patio, with charming French outdoor furniture and sun from early morning till sunset.

“A nice pools and great views” La Bigarade is a very pleasant villa with a nice pool and great views. The place is furnished and equipped like a family home so there was everything we needed, including washing machine and dryer, poolside barbecue and a good coffee maker. The property is in a fairly heavily-developed area with a large number of similar villas packed into the surrounding hills, but happily La Bigarade's location allows almost uninterrupted views over the countryside to the sea at Hyères - so once you're in the villa you don't notice the other development. We booked the place on less than 24 hours' notice, and the owner was very helpful in sorting out the paperwork, cleaning and check-in arrangements whilst on the road himself. Minor negatives were that the bathroom basin and kitchen sink fittings are a little tired-looking, and the quality of the bedding (particularly the pillows) isn't really in keeping with the luxury feel of the villa. Overall an excellent place though and I'd definitely stay here again.

“Outstanding family getaway in Provence” This July our family enjoyed one of the most magnificent weeks ever at La Bigarade. The house is quite simply magnificent: Located on the top of a hillside with the most amazing view of the valley stretching all the way to the Mediterranean. A view which we enjoyed almost all day long, either from the covered and cool outdoor veranda, or from the pool. And speaking of the pool: It is big and much larger than the impression one get from the pictures. The house is newly renovated and everything just WORKS! This is not a 'charming' old and worn-down house in France, rather it is a modern, stylish and luxurious getaway which will work just as brilliantly for couples as for families, even larger ones like ours. The only drawback I feel when writing this review is that I'm afraid it will be more difficult to rent the house in the future. But so be it, the owners are extremely nice and serviceminded and the house is just a pure gem. We have six children, so altogether we were 8, but the house was more than large enough.
