Apart from the obvious beach holiday, there is a great childrens' play area in the residence, a seperate children's pool and table tennis.This apartment is set well back from all activities and is in a quiet leafy area with plenty of birdlife. For adults in the immediate local area there is golf, boating, snorkelling, fishing, walking and vineyards - or just relax by the large pool with panoramic views across the Golfe of St. Tropez. In the evening you can promenade along the beach side cafes or dine alfresco in the restaurants, or just chill and sip wine and eat on the terrace. This is an easy and relaxing holiday for famillies with everything nearby.Please note that -as with all holidays in the South of France-you will need a car to enjoy this beautifully unspoilt area of the coast.
Wi-fi, TV & DVD and IPod players are avilable, but this is a relaxing, outdoor holiday.

Further details indoors:
The apartment is 42 sq metres with a large sun terrace on a hill, looking out to the sea and surrounded by countryside. Breakfast or dinner on the terrace is perfect. The terrace has the sun all morning which streams into the apartment, but it stays cool throughout the day due to the gentle sea breezes .There is one main double bedroom and another bunk bed ' cabine', all decorated in light bright colours with new curtains and furnishings. There are two seperate bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath.
Contemporary classic furniture and TV in the lounge and new electrical appliances in the kitchen with induction hob, microwave, etc but you will want to eat the local fresh cold food, its too hot to cook! You can buy croissants and snacks at reception and eat them in the poolside cafe/picnic area. Wi-fi, Ipod and CD player plus DVD/TV are all available. The apartment is beautifully decorated and well looked after, but not precious.
Satellite coverage for mobiles is good and there is wi-fi available in public areas- but this is a place for outside activities,as it's sunny most days . Kids will want to be playing in the gardens and pool/beach with their new friends. Adults will want to be chilling by the pool, at the beach or playing golf/ walking/sailing etc. If it does rain, there are DVD's, games and books in the apartment and many, many indoor leisure/activity centres in Roquebrune, Ste Maxime or Frejus.
Further details outdoors:
Two fantastic new swimming pools - probably the best in the whole area-with a small pool especially for kids. Play area for children, and a large boules area.Table tennis is available in the shade of the pine trees - bats and balls are available in the apartment. The local beach has great, safe swimming and snorkelling for all the family, a small shop by the beach sells everything you could need for the beach if you can't fit it all into the suitcase. There are a few beach items avilable at the apartment.
It's too hot for tennis in July and August but you might want to go for a short walk in the morning or walk around pretty Roquebrune. Take the short ferry trip from the Les Issambres Marina to St Tropez for market day on Tuesdays and Saturdays. No smoking inside the apartment but outside on the terrace is absolutely fine as long as you use ashtrays.
