France

MELINDA

A beautiful area of France where there was plenty to do. Swimming and kayaking on the lakes, cycling around the area, visiting the local towns, seeing the fireworks at Cannes and so much more!!! The property was perfect for two families and had everything that you could possibly need. Beautiful gardens and plenty of space to sit out and a pool to relax around. Gorgeous views. Thank you.

BASTIDE DES PLANETS

We stayed at the farmhouse in the last week in July.There were 5 adults, two teenagers and a 3 year old in on our trip. It's a fantastic house and Edward and Melinda have done an amazing job of restoring it. All the rooms were lovely and more than adequately equipped and there is aircon in most of the bedrooms.The kitchen has all the equipment you need and a great outside dining area with beer fridge and BBQ. We loved the pool and garden space.We borrowed bikes and could have used the kayaks but were too comfortable around the pool. The bakery is a nice 15 min walk away in town. The location is great as there is a water sport lake 10 mins walk if that down the road, a river which is great for kayaking and lots of supermarkets a short drive away. There is a mountain at the other end of the lake which is good for mountain bikes. You are 20 mins away from the great beaches and an hours drive inland to the stunning Gorge Du Verdon. A fantastic holiday and a hidden gem.

Thank you Ed and Melinda for a magnificent week in Bastide des Planets. Ed and Melinda did the catering, decorating and hosting of our 40th birthday party for 70 people in their enchanting glamp site close to the house. It really was the party of a lifetime. What a find! Ed and Melinda are friendly, helpful and worked tirelessly to organise the party and glamps for our guests. Surrounded by a charming woodland, brimming with birdsong, on the banks of the Argens river. This unique farmhouse is beautifully restored with views directly onto Roquebrune for the perfect sunset. Very comfortable, clean, full of character and well equipped, including BBQ, outdoor dining spaces, pool and garden, it exceeded our expectations. There's so much to see and do here from kayaking, beaching, hiking, croquet, wining and dining or just lounging by the pool. An unforgettable week in a magical place, many thanks

Group Size: 7 People Purpose of vacation: Golf We stayed at bastide des planets from 9th – 16th April 2017. Setting up the stay with the hosts Melinda and Edward was as easy as it gets: very short response time and straightforwardness during the reservation process whether by telephone or e-mail (they answered all e-mails and calls within an hour). At our arrival Melinda showed us around and explained everything in detail, from the gas oven in the kitchen, to the numerous and large rooms, the heating, the television, the well working wireless internet, the spacious garden and patio area with many different seating places (from shady to sunny, as you like it best) and the pool. On the patio on the 2nd floor you enjoy a beautiful view over the region of Roquebrune. We loved every bit of this place. The furnishing is classy, the kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are comfortable. There were two bedrooms with two single beds and three bedrooms with queen or king size beds, a large dining area, a separate living room and 4 bathrooms. More than enough space for a group of 7-10 individuals. Everything you need is nearby (a few minutes by car): Bakery and other small businesses at the village of Roquebrune (to your left if you leave bastide) or a rather large Inter Marché (French Supermarket) (to your right). If you are interested in golf there are several golf courses in close proximity (driving distance under 20 minutes), all very challenging and very well maintained. In summary we can highly recommend this place for your next trip to the region of Fréjus and we thank Melinda and Edward very much for having us.

We're Two families with grand parents.Large beautiful garden with pool, BBQ area with fountain. The farmhouse was clean and renovated to a v. High standard. Cool during the hot day. Stone floors. Oozing character. Bedrooms were elegant and bathrooms to good standard and air conditioned which made sleeping easy. A family home with books games for children, Tv and all mod cons. Really private. Fantastic for two families. Kitchen equipt With everything you might need beautiful!!! A gem. The pictures don't do the place justice on the website. So much more to experience in the farmhouse. Good taste through out.. Thank you for such a memorable holiday and for all of the extras you provided for us. Definitely recommend to my other family and friends. They have been blown away by the photographs😲 The Pool was great to cool off and children played. Lidl 3 minutes by car nearby. Mossy spray needed for sitting out at night. Many thanks.


We have just returned from a super fortnights stay at this property as part of a celebration of a special birthday of my daughter. This a a lovely rustic farmhouse that has been beautifully restored and furnished by the owners ( who incidentally were charming and helpful) The extensive garden gave ample opportunity for eating outdoors with a super gas BBQ that we used on several occasions. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you might need including a big cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and tumbler dryer. Comfortable beds, lovely showers, towels for the bathrooms, and big towels for use round the pool. Food locally was fab, we ate several times at Le Basilic 26 euro set menu was brilliant value. The bakers down the road would not be out of out of place in the smartest parts of London. If you need some exercise after all that food and wine we played table tennis in the garden and boules of you can always cool off in the pool.
