Magical Stay
Magical house, position & owner.
Hovering high over surroundings, floating serene, at end of long winding road, pretty, well-loved family home, spacious & charmingly presented.
Eclectic touches, are entrancing & engaging, making it feel cared for, welcoming, and personal.
Well-equipped kitchen makes it a pleasure, to prepare local produce.
At busy termination of quiet street, where it takes off onto motorway, there is low traffic hum; nothing too distracting.
Beautifully maintained garden, with raised terrace, pergola and pool, & several seating areas, following sun, feels enclosed and cocooned.
Elevated eyrie, though shrouded by greenery opposite, sea can be spied, in its fascinating moods, from top floor windows.
Added bonus: key to padlock, to gate, to path, through spiky shrubbery, to rusty fallen portal, opening onto secret cove, where water laps your feet, & sun sets over shimmering infinity of sea to sky. Surreal seascape, at a curve in road, by donkey paddock; only accessible to houses on this road; feels like exclusive privilege.
Conveniently located to explore stunning surroundings; jaw dropping vistas of sweeping seas, scattered with charming, picture-perfect towns/villages, dotted with beaches, and hidden bays.
As expected in France, food is an obsession, & myriad markets provide irresistible temptations: framework for foodie itinerary.
7 nights was not long enough to fully explore.
Thank you, Mme Duboeuf, for honour of staying in your home
