Description
SECRET TIP! ! !
On the Côte d'Azur on the Giens Peninsula/Southern France.
Spacious, light-flooded holiday home in a quiet location with a fantastic sea view from the terrace and the adjoining living room for rent.
Located in the middle of a 2000 sqm fenced plot with old Mediterranean trees, comfortable, in a quiet location!
Fully refurbished with the latest technology.
Scenic highlight! ! ! From the house, a 5-minute walk to the 12 km long sandy beach, 10 minutes to the rocky coves. All with private access only for residents. This makes it exclusive and never crowded, even in peak season.
The peninsula is a scenic highlight on the Côte d'Azur. Overwhelming Mediterranean coastal landscape.
The Giens Peninsula is so special because it is sparsely built-up. This is not common elsewhere on the Côte d’Azur. A large part of Giens is wild, Mediterranean nature. From the house, it's a 5-minute walk to the sandy beach, 10 minutes to the rocky coves.
2 approximately 12 km long, very different sandy beaches that form the land connection, and many rocky coves with pebble beaches as well as other very different beaches.
Even if you are there for 3 weeks, you could go to a different beautiful seaside spot every day. Wonderful pebble coves and sandy beaches of various characters can be reached on foot or with our 3 bicycles.
There are maps of the island in the house. The "Sentier litoral", the hiking trail that leads almost around the entire island, is unique.
Thus, you can walk around the undeveloped western tip of the peninsula in about 2 ½ hours and experience fascinating nature with bays of different characters.
The hiking trail around the east coast starting right below our house is very varied and shorter.
Magnificent hikes, walks & bicycle tours (3 bikes available). Tennis courts in the park in the village.
Perfect for a family holiday with children. Complete equipment for the beach for children to adults is available. Including toys and multiple snorkels.
Just as enjoyable for two.
The property and house are completely mosquito-free due to ecological devices in the garden. Wonderful evenings and nights on the large terrace with a fantastic sea view without mosquitoes. Sloping site, two-story:
Lower: large entrance area, 1 bedroom with double bed, 2 bedrooms each with 2 single beds (which can be pushed together to form a double bed), bathroom, guest toilet, storage room incl. 3 bikes. Top: Spacious living room with dining table, sofa, armchairs, TV, compact stereo system with radio, Bluetooth and CD player, CD collection, fireplace & library, desk as a workspace with sea view, high-speed internet throughout the house and property, and a wide selection of international TV channels via fiber optic cable. The living room opens onto a large terrace with a fantastic sea view. Next to it is the very well-equipped kitchen with Jura coffee machine, coffee maker, Sodastream water carbonator, toaster, stove with oven and pyrolysis, Miele dishwasher, large refrigerator with a large separate freezer by Liebherr, plenty of high-quality cooking utensils and dishes, glasses, and cutlery for 12 people, pantry. Nearby: Regional farmers market, market hall with fish dealer, wine shop, supermarkets, bakeries, newsstands (with international press), fishermen, butchers, pharmacy, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and weekly market with regional products. Golf course at Hyères on the mainland. Tennis courts in the village park.
10 min walk from the house: Ferry to the car-free island of Porquerolles.
Paradise for water sports. On the peninsula there are several small harbors with fish sales directly from the fishermen & restaurants.
Day trips:
The nearby car-free islands of Porquerolles & Port Cros, the Romanesque monasteries & poetic villages of Provence, Marseille, Aix (with Cezanne's studio), Avignon, Nice, Cannes, Grasse, the Gorges du Verdon (= "Grand Canyon of France"), Fort Bregancon, bike tours,...

Location and surroundings of object
Quietly located in a cul-de-sac, away from tourism on a large wooded property.

Day trips - which certainly worthwhile:
Hike around the western tip of Giens on the Sentier littoral: wild, Mediterranean nature with überwätigenden bays for swimming. The road is located on one of the plans. The starting point can be reached by our bikes or by car.
From Port La Tour Fondue (10 minutes walk from the house) there is a ferry to the beautiful, car-free island of Porquerolles. There you can hike or explore the island by bike. Right on the harbor of Porquerolles there are bike rental stations. In the small town there are excellent restaurants.
Pure Wild nature on the main island of Port Cros. The can be reached by ferry, leaving from the Port d'Hyères.
The beautiful Romanesque Abbey Le Thoronet:
The Villa Noailles in Hyères. Literature is available in our library.
The Calanques between Marseille and Cassis: fjord-like bays over 20 km in length, surrounded by up to 600 m high limestone cliffs and lapped by the turquoise Mediterranean. In small, rented boats can can drive through the Calanques.
Aix is beautiful and worth a day trip so much to explore. The landscape in Aix is, realizes a the pictures of Cézanne.
In Aix a special art experience is the studio of Cézanne:
On the homepage you can also find a German translation.
Avignon has become quite touristy.
Marseille is a beautiful port city with africa Sichen influences. The city has several interesting museums.
More charming and special places that are not touristy, and Romanesque monasteries and churches you can discover in the guidebooks in our entire library itself.
Pure nature - again quite different: The Gorges du Verdon, as, Grand Canyon of France 'designated.
Etc…

Dream house under pine trees
Great house and property. Practical and fully furnished. The sea shimmers through the trees everywhere. Great view from the terrace. We didn't miss the air conditioning, despite the heat in the end. Of course the peninsula is very crowded in summer. The private free beach access for residents is a clear advantage. Great restaurants within easy reach, also on the beach. Monaco, St.Tropez; Aix , Gorges of Verdon easily accessible by car. But Hyères, Giens and La Capte have enough to offer. Must-dos: take the bus to the market in Giens on Tuesdays, take children to Magic World (don't forget cash), hike around the peninsula only with good shoes, book restaurants in summer. Surf and kite schools on the headland on the beach. Mrs Oswalt is available with great tips via Whatsapp. Inexpensive shopping in supermarkets in Hyères, fresh fish at GrandFrais; God willing - we'll be back

Very nice holiday home
The holiday home is spacious, very well maintained, clean and very comfortably furnished. We felt at home there right away. Mrs Oswalt responded promptly and carefully to all requests before, during and after our holiday.
The location of the house and the view of the sea from the terrace are fantastic, the garden is nice and big and several beautiful beaches are within walking distance. The internet connection in the house is fast and reliable.
We had an all-round relaxing and wonderful week in the house.
Many thanks to Mrs Oswalt for the warm care! We will be happy to come back.
