The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region
The cote d'azur is so named because of the constant blue skies. Rain is a rarity even in the winter months. The off season in Gigaro is often the best. The beaches are empty, the walks through the adjacent nature reserve are beautiful. In the springtime the whole area is awash with flowers and the beautiful smells coming from them. The sea can be cold but our heated pool can cool you down if it gets too hot. The season starts early, at Easter time the local shops and restaurants begin their season. The area is very mature and feels like a garden paradise. Equally the end of the season September and October is magnificent. Get the kids back to school and come and enjoy the late summer sun and the calm of the late summer.Most of the locals swim in the sea until at least the end of October.
St Tropez area
GIgaro is situated in an area known as the Presqu 'isle de St Tropez and it is one of the most beautiful and glamorous regions of the South of France. Not stuffy and pompous but discreet and relaxed. The beach restaurants of Pampleonne are only 15 mins way and at any one moment you could be mixing with Princes, Pop stars, politicians or the worlds most famous sports stars. When you have had enough of the people watching or the sound of champagne corks popping is too much, you can retreat back to the calm and tranquility of Gigaro beach. There are five restaurants on the beach in front of the Villa, ranging from fresh sea food to burgers at the bar and just about everything in between.Sailing school within 20m of the garden. The snorkelling in the rocks in the nature reserve is second to none. You can even feed bread to the fishes and swim amongst them.
How to get there
The nearest sirport is St Tropez/La Mole but there are very few flights, mainly private or from Switzerland. Nice is the best, more choice good prices, flights year round and the best route to the Villa. Easyjet, Bmibaby, British Airways etc all fly to Nice which is about an hour and a half away. Other options in peak season are Toulon, 11/2 hr or Marseille 2hrs. Those with more time of course can drive through France which is always interesting. There is plenty of car hire at all the airports.

Further details indoors: The pictures will say more. The best feature is the huge downstairs covered terrace with seating for about 20. The house is fully equipped and within walking distance of just about everything. We only use the car when we go to Nikki beach on pampleonne or St Tropez, other than that everything is on the doorstep. The beach is 15m away but the vIlla has a pool so sometimes even that is an effort. If you can't be bothered to cook stroll over the road to one of the adjacent five restaurants or buy a cooked chicken from the spar. Not enough choice, walk a bit further and find another three restauarants or get a take away Pizza from over the road.
Further details outdoors: In the front garden the swimming pool is surrounded by 220m2 of hardwood decking. there are six teak sun loungers anaround the pool and four plastic ones on the upstairs terrace with sea views. The garden is full of beautiful shrubs and flowers. There is an outside solar shower . There is ample parking with covered sunshade parking for two cars. There are also some excercise bars for a bit of shaping up for the beach.
Further details
Welcome pack provided on arrival. The swimming pool is available year round and is heated by a heat exchanger. The temperature it gets to is determined by the outside ambient temperature. It was only installed last year so we can't determine exactly when it will get warm. We were using it happily at the beginning of May last year. At this time of year the sea is freezing but it is usually very hot so a heated pool is a great bonus.

Guestbook
Hello Kevin Just a short note to say how impressed we are with your house. It is absolutely fantastic."The location of the villa was a big plus. Being near to the beach and walking distance to the restaurants like Coulor de Jardin was wonderful. CW Hi Kevin, We had a fantastic time staying at your villa! It was absolutely gorgeous – the attention to detail was brilliant. The kids were made up that they could watch English tv and the special touches like wine in the fridge and fresh flowers in the bedrooms was very much appreciated indeed. Everything about the villa was fantastic. Thank you and your family very much. AS Hi Kevin, My familiy asked me to book your beautiful villa for the next year, because we enjoyed our holidays so much this year.KW Hi Kevin, Hoping your having a lovely holiday with your family in your beautiful villa. jst a short e-mail to say how much we loved being in your villa and how we loved the location and the ambiance of gigaro plage. JM The Spar supermarket was like a personal pantry for us. Picking up fresh baguette and croissant every morning was great. Having fresh flowers in each room gave us a very welcoming feeling and we were surprised that they lasted for the whole week, thank you again for the good service and we are hoping to get to use your villa again in future" Hi Kevin, we have had a lovely week in Gigaro. Your house is truely fantastic and Gigaro is really one of the most beautiful places we have visited on the Rivera. We have rented a couple of places before and Villa Jamana really stands out compared to the others. Fresh flowers, clean, very nice furnished and an atmosphere that made us all feel at home from the very first day. And let me also add that the kids have more or less "lived" in the pool the whole week! So we have already talked about coming back the same week next year if possible? Thank you for a memorable week. Hi Kevin, just wanted to take the opportunity to feedback what a wonderful time we had in your villa and to say thank you for being such a thoughtful absent host! Everything we could have needed was there and the place was even better than it looks on the pictures you have on your site. We were very sorry to leave and want to make a plea to you not to ever sell it as we would love to rent it again in the future (as did several of our guests who were also very taken with it!).
