Villa Yasumo lies just South of the town of Flayosc on the Route de Sauve Clare. Access is gained by turning left on the drive just before the sign to the hamlet of Sauve Clare. You continue on this drive for approximately 200 metres passing olive trees and small vineyard until you come to the property gates. Passing through the gates, the olive tree lined drive winds up to the house. In addition to the numerous olive trees, there are vines, lavender bushes, an apricot tree, cherry trees, a fig tree, an almond tree and a magnificent palm tree. You will pass the first of 2 car ports here.
The pretty drive leads on up to a spacious parking area behind the house and the second car port provides shade for your car.
The Villa itself is situated in a stunning 4000 sq. m plot, comprising of a small vineyard, olive grove and unusually, a large flat grassed area around the house, salt water pool and patio.
The covered Provencal patio is complete with barbecue, table and chairs in addition to a large cantilevered parasol. The shaded patio sits directly in front of the house and can be accessed from patio doors from each of the kitchen, living -dining room and downstairs bedroom. Sitting on the patio, you can sit with a glass of wine, look at the beautiful view, and keep an eye on the kids in the pool next to the patio.
The patio, pool and grassed area are completely private and have views across the valley to wooded hill on the other side.
The beautiful 10 x 5m mosaic-blue tiled, salt-water swimming pool, is found directly in front of the house lying beside the shaded patio area.The pool is complete with an alarm compliant with French Law. The pool is paved on all sides with a large area of paving on the end complete with loungers and sun shades.
The pool is surrounded on three sides with a level grassed area in which there are mulberry trees so planted as to provide a further shaded area. Two lemon trees stand outside the patio area.
The villa itself comprises 3 double bedrooms 2 of which are on the first floor and each with a built-in wardrobe. The bedroom facing south also has a sun room. On the first floor there is a bathroom which is complete with a bath/shower, bidet, vanity unit and WC.
The ground floor has the kitchen living/dining room and the ground floor bedroom with wardrobe. All these rooms face south and have double access doors either leading to the patio or the grassed area.
At the rear of the property there is utility room with fridge (and freezer compartment), washing machine and a water softener. This leads to the central hall and opening from the hall a separate WC, and a shower room with vanity unit ands walk in shower.
The living room, which leads from the hall has a dining table capable of seating 6 persons, TV set, DVD player, 2-seater settee, three-seater settee, and three separate armchairs, with large double doors opening on to the grassed area. The kitchen is complete with a second fridge, tiled double-sink unit, dishwasher, eye lever cooker, ceramic hob and a microwave. The kitchen is also well supplied with cupboards, which are well stocked with plates, etc..
The villa is ideally situated for day trips either inland to the amazing Gorges du Verdon or south to Ste Maxime and St Tropez. We recommend if you want to visit St Tropez you park your car at Ste Maxime and take the ferry across the bay to St Tropez (approx. 15 minutes).This takes you through the harbour to the quayside and you pass all the fantastic yachts as you enter to the quay. Also of course, it is possible to make a day trip to Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Cannes St Raphael and Frejus. Again if you want to go inland a visit to Grasse (of perfume fame) is completely possible.
Of interest the market in Flayosc is on a Monday morning and while small is very interesting. However the market in the nearby town of Lorgues which is on a Tuesday morning is probably the most famous in the area and is very large and the stall holders sell a large variety of goods.
Alternatively, you just relax in the calm of the villa and its large private garden.
