Unwind in Provencal Paradise

Imagine a holiday with friends and family where everyone can enjoy their independence and also have fun spending time together:

Set in the Provencal countryside of vineyards and pine forests, with easy access to sea and mountains, lies La Daby - the French home of an English family. Four architect designed houses and a cabanon are set apart from each other on five acres of terraced land, covered with thyme, rosemary and olive trees. Each house is independent with its own fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Each has a shady terrace for sitting or dining. They can be rented individually or together. The central swimming pool, with ping-pong table alongside and an olive tree for shade provides a central area for sunbathing and relaxing.

The small market town of le Beausset and the sea are only 1 and 6 miles away respectively. Numerous attractions include an adjacent tennis court, golf at the fabulous www.fregate.dolce.com, Aqualand, OK Corral, riding in the mountains, scuba diving in the sea, and the magic of Arles, Nimes, Avignon and Aix en Provence (with its wonderful festival) not far away.

Regional specialities including delicious Bandol wine, an amazing array of cheese, local fish, and seasonal fruit and vegetables straight from the producer. Feast on local seabass, ripe apricots and white peaches, or later in the year enjoy Muscat grapes, green figs and wild boar ham.

A crossing of lay-lines by the Cabanon - one of which joins with the pilgrimage site of St Baume - provides a peaceful atmosphere, and appears to encourage people to have sweet dreams!

With the airports of Marseilles and Toulon an hour away, and Nice only a little further; check www.easyjet.com , www.ryanair.com and www.ba.com for cheap flights (and mid-week booking is now encouraged).
