MAS DES COLLINES Bastide provençale piscine chauffée 6 pers Nature Verdon & mer

We loved staying at Mas des Collines, and would definitely come back! The house was ideal - peaceful, very comfortable, and perfectly arranged, with plenty of space inside and out, including the shaded patio, a fabulous pool area, and a good-sized kitchen with everything you could need. We were four adults and two nine-year-old children, and the layout was ideal, with two full bathrooms and three good-sized bedrooms. Christine's tips on where to visit in the area were super, including lovely hilltop towns, local markets, spots for eating, and where to head for kayaking at the Gorges du Verdon a little further afield. The house is in an area that feels very rural, but with supermarkets, bakeries, etc. just a short drive away, so the best of both worlds. We loved it, and wished we could have stayed even longer!

Beautiful house in quiet neighborhood, very goods beds, internet works very well(I had to work several days), access road is narrow. Very friendly and helpful host.

We got from Christine all important informations what to do and what better not. We were responsible for a problem with the wash machine what could be fixed within 24 hours, very professional! Thank you so much, we will come back one day!

We spent an idyllic week here - it literally could not have been better. The house was as advertised, clean with comfy linens and beds and a kitchen stocked with basics, enough that we cooked simple evening meals most nights. The nearest market was 10 mins and there were several choices of market in a 15 min radius. We also loved Draguignan’s street market and the open air markets in several nearby towns as well. The WiFi was slow but serviceable. The best accoutrement of the house was Christine, though. She was unobtrusive but available, and sat down with us and a map to point out nearby highlights and ideas for sightseeing. We found her suggestions to be spot on and truly informed by our description of how we wanted to spend our time One note about driving though: many, if not most, of the roads in the Var are narrow and wind around tight corners but the scenery is gorgeous.

The house was very comfortable and well equipped. Lovely garden with a big pool. Our teenage girls really enjoyed it! We brought our dog and found the house and garden very dog friendly. Nice and cool inside during the day. The bedrooms were all a good size and had fans to keep it cool at night. We enjoyed using the gas BBQ I the evenings. Christine who looks after the property was very helpful and gave us some great ideas for days out. Sorry Christine we didn’t make it to Tourtour next time!! Thank you for a great stay hopefully see you again.

We had a very nice week staying at this property new Draguignan at the end of July/beginning of August. The property has three double rooms and two bathrooms, and so had more than enough room for our party of five adults. There is plenty of living space, both inside and outside, and a well equipped kitchen. The pool was a lovely temperature, and was perfect for cooling down in! There are very few other properties nearby, and so it is very quiet and relaxing, particularly at night. There is plenty to do nearby. Christine (who was there to meet us on arrival) is very knowledgeable about the area, speaks decent English and is more than happy to help out with local info. For example, there are lots of Provencal villages to visit and also the Lac de Sainte-Croix and Gorge du Verdon around an hour away. The coast isn't too far away either, but very busy in Jul/Aug. There are a supermarkets for groceries (mainly wine, beer and cheese in our case!) in Draguignan, Les Arcs and other towns in the area. Lots of vineyards too for more wine! Plenty of places for lunch dinner. We had a particularly delicious lunch at L'Abbaye de La Celle near Brignoles (though beware - it isn't cheap). A few things to bear in mind. - In the evenings, in particular, there are lot of mosquitoes outside, particularly the pool. Bring repellent and think about covering up! - It does get very hot, so be prepared for feeling rather warm at night... - There is a modest cleaning/laundry charge (110 EUR cleaning for property, 10 EUR per person for sheets/towels, so 160 EUR for our group of 5) directly payable in cash to the owner. It is mentioned in the property details on the Home and Away website, but we missed it initially so is worth factoring into the total cost when you book. Overall, we would definitely recommend staying at this property if you are after a relaxing break in a beautiful part of Provence!

This is a very nice house in a quiet area, enough space, lovely sleeping rooms, two excellent bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved to relax at the pool. Christine welcomed us very heartily and gave us a lot of useful tips. Everything was well prepared. Thank you very much for the hospitality. Lisa, Conny, Florian and Werner from Munich.
