The rental relies on its location for its five stars. Before booking read the description.
If you read the description carefully you would be wise. The duplex is big enough for four using the sofa bed , there was no linen bedding or towels provided and no internet connection , if you enjoy cooking in your self catering duplex then bear in mind that it is electric hob and no oven. The stairs are steep and the toilet is downstairs the table and chairs are for four people and it's a very tight fit.
If you bear this in mind before booking you will have a wonderful holiday.
If you also book the studio bear in mind it faces the road but has the luxury of a bath.
The initial shock was that the apartment was not as ads indicated in that is was at the back overlooking the road, we were expecting the front overlooking the beach. No mention of this was indicated in booking process. We are an oldish couple in our seventies and as such not as active as some. Because of this the apartment to be quite frank was not entirely suitable for the following reasons. The toilet is on the ground floor (no sink to wash one's hands) but the shower and bathroom sink was upstairs in the mezzanine. The stairs to the upper level were steep and certainly the deadrise and width of each step would not pass any current building regulations. As such we had to be very careful each time we acended/desended. So we survived. But note for tall people the headroom up stairs in limited and as such at 6 foot I banged my head a few times. However, we got over it all and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Michael De Rourk our letting agent was very helpful and kind although he forgot to tell us that one should not park in the free car park on Sunday nights as the next day is market day and as such ones car, if left gets towed away as we discovered to out cost ! Michael however, very kindly gave me a lift to Le Lavandou so I could get it back.
