La Farlede Oasis family vacation
This villa in the hillside community of La Farlede (above Toulon) was fairly wonderful. It's an expansive home with four bedrooms (each with individual AC units, which proved invaluable as it was rather warm during our stay), generous-sized living/dining area and a wonderful outdoor kitchen/dining area adjacent to an inviting pool and hot tub. A pool table and ping pong were also nice.
The home has all the amenities one could need in terms of modern appliances, extensive cookware, dishes and accessories in a smallish kitchen.
One addition that would have been helpful would have been a "smart TV", as the cable offerings were all in French without subtitles.
Perhaps the best asset that the home offers is the amazing owner, NIco. Several in our group unfortunately contracted COVID just prior to arrival. Nico kindly made the home available to us two days early, which was hugely beneficial towards our getting needed rest in safety.
It turns out that Nico is also a medical professional, who's expertise was enormously helpful in helping us contend with COVID. He kindly went to the pharmacy for us and even arranged for a visiting doctor to come evaluate and treat us in the home as well as renting a CPAP machine. Beyond our medical needs, Nico was incredibly responsive to issues that came up (the power went out a couple of times), and even ordered us pizza delivery the first night!
So between the home being wonderful and Nico's care, we highly recommend this charming villa.
