Verbesserungswürdig: Sauberkeit
Nice location but we’ll stay somewhere else next time
I should have listened to the other reviews. The driveway up and down to this house is terrible!!! It is so steep we couldn’t drive it. We had to park up on the main road and carry all our stuff up and down the hill/drive every day. Not much fun in the heat with bags and beach stuff!
The house itself is grubby and worn and there is no a/c so we were forced to sleep with the windows open and got eaten alive by mosquitoes.
The poor review is mainly for the pool area which is accessed from the house either inside by the dungeon under the house (smelly and dark) or by treacherous stairs from the patio. The outside stairs have steps missing and a handrail that has become unattached. This is very dangerous as the access down is quite steep. I would not recommend this house for anyone with small children or with mobility issues. The pool deck itself is uneven concrete pavers which are rough and cannot be sat on. The pool is not heated and was very cold in mid September. Most of the Sun loungers provided were broken and the umbrellas around the pool were broken and rusty. Clearly nobody has spent any money on this place for some time.
Once we managed to connect, thanks to the lovely agent, Nathalie, coming back to the house to help us, the WiFi was intermittent and only French tv was available. Washing machine doesn’t drain and needs replacing.
We were invaded by a herd of wild boar as we sat outside one night and our little dog went mad and chased them, so watch out for that. It was very scary.
Also, we had a pool mechanic/plumber arrive at the house and walk down into the pool area to carry out work unannounced two mornings which we found very intrusive.
The positives were the location of the house, close to beautiful Ste Maxime and the beaches. Also the agent for this property was absolutely lovely and went out of her way to help us.
Be aware that you have to have a very large deposit in CASH ready to handover when you arrive!!
We will definitely return to this area but will be booking elsewhere.
