Villa Joya: A Stunning, elegant villa in private grounds with heated pool

This area is idyllic! The house is well equipped and very accessible to beach and north to mid evil villages. The pool will make you want to stay at the house the whole day vs leave. Andrew was very responsive. We will be back again but next time for a longer stay.

The villa Joya is a fantastic place to relax, have fun and to feel comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped, the villa has enough space in each single room, lovely bathrooms and a big garden with a summer kitchen, we enjoyed very much to make our own pizza in the wooden fired oven and the BBQ as well as sitting outside with a glas of wine and enjoying the evenings. The pool is outstanding and big enough for our daily early morning swimming exercises. We want not forget to mention Andrew, the owner of the villa, who takes great care of his guests, always answers questions immediately and helps us out with a lot of recommendations of restaurants and places to be. We will come back, for sure!

We had a lovely time at Villa Joya with our family of 2 adults and 4 children (all teens). The villa is spacious, the pool is large and the outdoor kitchen is terrific (Pizza Oven and BBQ were often used in the three weeks we were there). The villa is a short driving distance away from the centre of the charming village of Plan de la Tour with a number of really good restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops. St Maxime is only 15 minutes away with access to the beaches and a wide variety of restaurants, markets and shops. The hosts were very helpful before and during our stay, offering tips and advice on where to go for great meals. A really nice time was had by all of us. Thanks again Andrew and Emma.

A superb traditional villa which has been tastefully modernised in parts but retaining many of its original features. The villa is spacious and is fully equipped to provide for all our needs. The standout features of this villa which separates from most alternatives is the outstanding pool and gardens which include a novel external kitchen area with its own bar which is also fully equipped and heightens the enjoyment of outdoor living. Ambience at nightime is further enhanced by the excellent external lighting system. The owner, Andrew, was exceptionally helpful in answering all questions immediately and the local contact, Paul, was constantly on hand and went to great efforts to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Le Plan de la Tour is an ideal base to discover the area and the village itself is delightful and provides for most needs including shops, a couple of small supermarkets, bars, restaurants and a lively market on Thursday.

Das Objekt ist sehr gut geeignet für Familien mit Kindern und Hund. Wohnen, Essen und Küche sind sehr gut. Die Küche hat alles was man braucht, der aussen Grill ist sehr praktisch. Die Badezimmer und vor allem die Duschen sind relativ eng.

A fabulous stay with great communication throughout from booking to departure. The Villa is a picture postcard with everything you could wish for and more, we hardly left as dining in around the pool with bbq and pizza oven just made a great family experience. Full marks to Andrew and Paul.

My family (4 adults, 1 10-month old) thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Villa Joya in June. The house is ideally located just a few minutes drive from the local village which has plenty to offer, it’s also a short drive to the likes of St Maxime and St Tropez, is easy to get to/from Nice airport and last but not least the Villa is just a 30 second walk to a fantastic pizza restaurant. The house itself is stunning, perfectly in-keeping with the area, nice cool stone exterior and welcoming and ideal inside for everything you could need. The pool was just fantastic for the hot days, the pool bar and bbq area was used very frequently and enjoyed the villa at night so much that we hardly ate out, preferring to enjoy our surroundings with dinner at the Villa via the pizza oven. The hosts were a pleasure to deal with, access to the house was easy and all this combined together made for a fantastic holiday for the family. 10/10!!! Will be back!

The house is exactly as advertised. It’s wonderful. The outdoor area with the pool is beautiful. The indoor kitchen is fully stacked and fantastic if you like to cook. Wi-fi works perfectly well. Andrew was awesome in answering all questions before we arrived and when we were there which was great. And the house is 5 min drive from town with a bunch of cute restaurants and cafes and bakeries. Highly recommend!
