Relaxing stay in modern villa
We are frequent visitors to La Croix-Valmer and this is the nicest / most modern villa we have stayed in. The villa has recently been refurbished and furnished to a very high standard. There is aircon in 3 of the 4 bedrooms which works well and kept the entire villa cool despite 40 being degrees outside! The pool is big, refreshing and has plenty of loungers. Gigaro beach is an easy 8 minute drive and there is a fantastic new supermarket which is a short drive away.
There are some quirks: no aircon in one of the bedrooms, 3 downstairs bedrooms sharing one bathroom, and a tiny second toilet downstairs. There is plenty of fridge space but no deep freeze, which might seem like an issue but we found that a bag of ice in the bottom drawer of the fridge stayed frozen for 3 days. The "oven" is also not conventional - small and sits on the table top. It works well, but you will struggle to cook a roast dinner for 8. Perfect for cooking/heating a lasagne. There is also a road just below the villa and while not too busy there is quite a lot of noise when cars / motorbikes go by. With the aircon / new windows you do not hear the noise when in the villa but you do when sitting on the deck or by the pool.
The views from the deck are amazing!
The quirks did not detract from the holiday for us and we had a super relaxing stay. We will definitely look to go back
