COSTE ROUSSE - Four-Bedroom House

Lovely house, very spacious with wonderful views. Coming back. The only drawback is the entry/exit off the main road….bit hairy!

Villa au calme bien exposé bien équipé propre lits confortable petit plus la table de ping pong piscine propre au soleil toute la journée très bon accueil, hôtes disponible. Idéal pour un séjour entre amis je recommande fortement cet établissement

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem schönen Ferienhaus sehr genossen. Es bietet viel Platz, so dass wir auch mit 6 Personen bestens zurechtgekommen sind. Der Garten ist wunderschön und der Pool ein Traum mit fantastischer Aussicht über die Provence. Unsere Kinder (12 und 13 Jahre) waren absolut begeistern und wollten dort gar nicht mehr weg.

I had a wonderful stay at this place with my family this summer. The views are stunning, especially from the pool. It’s quite a climb up the steps but worth it! One of our favourite aspects was the fact you can easily stroll to the village from the house to buy fresh croissants from the local boulangerie or for an late afternoon glass of wine in the village square. We tried all 4 restaurants which were very good. The house itself was clean and is a mix of Provençale and contemporary styles. The location was great for us as we visited some of the lovely villages in the area as well as Ste Maxime and Cannes. The owners, who were very helpful, suggested that we took the boat to St Tropez to avoid the traffic. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone who wants to experience authentic rural Provence as well as have easy access to the Cote D’Azur without the expense or the crowds.

Les Rays has rustic charm, local character and is set in a wonderful location with fantastic views. Whilst the small village feel of Callas, with a few small shops, restaurants, boulangerie, tabac and a Saturday market in the village square, just a 10-15 minute enjoyable stroll down from the property, although a car is highly recommended due to the hillside location and terrain, which then opens up some beautiful villages in this idyllic area of Provence. The property does have quite a steep drive but then reveals this wonderful property. On a large landscaped plot surrounded by its own selection of olive groves and grape vines, there sits this lovely house, mostly on the ground floor, but leading to a first floor master bedroom with dedicated en-suite bathroom and own private balcony. Breakfast from there provides excellent views of the whole region, with the tolling of the bells across from the village church. There is a large lounge and dining area and well appointed kitchen, but for our stay we enjoyed our evenings at the outside covered family dining area through the large glazed double doors off the lounge. Behind the property rises via a series of steps to the elevated large swimming pool, with a dining and sunbathing paved area surrounding the pool, and changing / toilet facilities. The property is ideal for a family or group, with 4 good sized bedrooms and the 2 bathrooms, and a separate WC. Families with Infants, pushchairs, or perhaps elderly or disabled wheelchair dependant members should review the collection of photos for suitability, as the pool area would be difficult to access. This is a perfect way to see Provence, and to feel at peace with the region. Character, charm and a wonderful vacation with wonderful friends. We shall be sure to return again.

The house is located on a beautiful spot in the Provence. When we arrived the drive way is a steep ramp situated right in the turn of the road. If you don’t pay attention, your car can get damaged. The kitchen and the bathrooms need to be renovated. It is a large house with plenty of space. Also the house was clean. But the AC did not work. And ants were everywhere, outside and inside the house. When we had breakfast outside, ants were on the table and on the wooden beams above you. I did not like this at all! There are 35 steps to the swimming pool which the website did not mention. The garden needs work, especially beside the stairs and at the petanque area. We did like the village of Callas but the house did not meet our expectations and the price is not worth paying.

Les Rays is a gorgeous villa with everything you could possibly want for a relaxing stay. As we were travelling around for a few weeks, we were looking forward to a relaxing week and that is exactly what we got. The house, pool and grounds are obviously all really well looked after and we enjoyed all it's different elements - sitting by the pool, breakfast on the balcony, lunch under the olive tree and fantastic meals on the terrace. Also, Callas is lovely and has all you need - bakery, little supermarket, a bar where we watched the football with the locals and 4 restaurants. We managed 3 and they were all lovely! Everything was brilliant and we would love to return one day.

The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and tidy. Pool excellent size and with handy access to a fridge/ freezer at the pool house. Lovely scenery and very restful place to stay. We tried two of the local restaurants which didn't disappoint. Temperatures were very high at times so a bit hot at night although the fans did help. Good communication with the owner, Mike, and with Fiona, the property manager.

Enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa with beautiful views over Callas and the surrounding countryside. The property was well furnished although we ate all our meals on the terrace at the front of the house which offered shade. The pool area was excellent although it did stand some twenty steps above the property. This however didn't cause us any difficulties. The village had several good restuarants. The location meant we could reach Cannes, Nice, St Tropez within 75 minutes or driving into the foot of the southern Alps. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back.
