The apartments

Duplex or Garden: which one to choose?

A small family-run residence of 7 apartments set in a Mediterranean garden above the bay. Both apartments look out over the sea and the Îles d'Or.

The shared garden

A large communal garden, often empty

The residence has a communal garden, reserved for the residents of this small block of 7 apartments. Guests in both the Duplex and the Garden apartment can use it throughout their stay.

It is often free: tables, parasols and sun loungers in the shade of the trees, for lunch outdoors or a quiet nap.

Walking to the beach

  1. From rue du Belvédère, a public stairway leads straight down towards the centre (about 200 steps).
  2. It comes out on avenue de Provence, next to a bus stop.
  3. The town-centre shops are a 6-minute walk, and the Grande Plage just beyond: 8 minutes in total from the residence.

The climb back up is harder: this route is not suitable for people with limited physical fitness.

FAQ

Your questions before booking

What is the difference between the two apartments?

The Duplex (56 m², sleeps 6) is on two levels, with a private terrace. The Garden apartment (50 m², sleeps 5) is on one level, with a 250 m² private enclosed garden, and pets are welcome. Both have access to the residence's shared garden, a sea view, air conditioning and a private parking space.

Do I need a car?

Not for the beach and the shops: the Grande Plage is an 8-minute walk via the stairway and the centre 6 minutes. The walk back up is more demanding. A car is still useful for shopping, the beaches further away and day trips. Each apartment has its own private parking space.

Are pets allowed?

In the Garden apartment, yes. In the Duplex, no. Both apartments are non-smoking, and parties are not allowed.

Is bed linen provided?

No. Bed linen and towels are not provided; duvets and pillows are available.

How does check-in work?

Check-in is self-service with a secure key box, from 5 pm. Check-out is by 10 am.

Where is the residence?

Rue du Belvédère, in the Super Lavandou area, on the hillside above Le Lavandou (Var), on the coast between Hyères and Saint-Tropez. The nearest airport is Toulon-Hyères.
