Grande villa. 25 minutes à l'intérieur des terres de St Tropez. Magnifique vue sur la mer.

A fantastic property, lovely house with amazing view. Nothing was missing, we had a wonderful stay. Even exceeded the description on VRBO. Very good location where you easily can reach many charming villages in the surroundings.

Our extended family of 10 spend 2 glorious weeks here and it met all of our expectations. The close (walkable) proximity to town is a distinct advantage. La Garde-Freinet is a lovely village with welcoming residents/shopkeepers. The kitchen of the villa is very well equipped. The pool and deck area are very enjoyable. The host is responsive. The house manager lives in town and is very helpful. We would return in a heartbeat.

This is a lovely spacious house with a spectacular view in a secluded quiet location. There are four sitting / eating areas depending on weather and time of day - in full sunshine on the terrace overlooking the pool, under a shady awning next to the kitchen, in the sitting / dining room indoors, and in the kitchen itself. We used all of them! Nearby, there is something for everyone, including a skate park for the teenagers, a fine dining restaurant (Chez Bruno - truffles with everything), St.Tropez for the chic, Monaco for the minted, and a ruined castle in Grimaud for historyphiles. We loved it.

As its name goes, « L’Eclaircie », hidden in a wood of cork oaks, offers stunning views over the unspoiled Massif des Maures towards the sea. We had a wonderful time there in August 2016, for a break that was way too short : kids having fun in the large pool, walks to the nearby charming village with nice shops and and overlooking castle ruins, a short drive to the beach, and best of all long evenings sipping local wine on the terrace, watching the sunset in these clear, deep blue skies that you only get on the Méditerranée, followed by a star-gazing session. The house itself has been recently redecorated. It is very chic and extremely comfortable for a large party. Highly recommended.

We stayed for a week in early September. It has recently had new owners who have clearly re-furnished it and have done so beautifully. The property is very secluded and set on the side of the hill, yet less than a 10 minute walk to the heart of the lovely village of Le Garde Freinet where there are many good restaurants. The view from our ground floor ensuite bedroom at L'Eclaircie was stunning - with Grimaud Castle in the near distance and Gassin afar. On a good run St Tropez is only about 25 minutes away. The main living room is very large and impressive with a double height ceiling, sizeable stone fireplace as the focal point, and 3 extremely comfortable sofas where our party could relax after dinner. The swimming pool is large and well maintained and itself looks out toward Grimaud. We had a wonderful time at L'Eclaircie and hope to return next year.
