Unique Holiday Home with Heated Pool in Bargemon, Var, Provence, France Reviews

We had a brilliant week staying at the old Olive Mill. It started well when the guy showing us the property told us in perfect English that he used to come to the house as a child when it was still totally derelict - and that he and his friend used to run around the giant mill wheel like hampsters in a cage. Everything about our stay was perfect - the house has been meticulously restored and it's in an idyliic spot - close enough to the village to walk in every morning for croissants and bread, but totally secluded, with virtually no manmade noise - just the burble of the stream and the occasional burst of birdsong. Our four kids lived in the pool, but we also dragged them away to walk around the beautful little village of Bergamon, to take pedalos up the amazing Verdon Gorge and to snorkel in the Med (it's a pretty crowded coastline though, and the jellyfish were rife, so we only went once). All in all we had a wonderful restful stay and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
