Bien

Bilan des deux semaines passées à Salernes. Dans les moins : la maison mériterait d'être entretenue : de nombreuses fissures dans les murs, les joints de la suite parentale sont complètement moisis, le revêtement de la baignoire de l'autre salle de bain est rouillée, les matelas des enfants sont couverts de tâches, plusieurs lits simples ont des lattes cassées voir manquantes, dans la cuisine aucun rangement pour la nourriture, il a fallu mettre les gamelles sur la table de la salle pour libérer de la place, malgré le commentaire de 2018 la cafetière est toujours aussi petite et lente, certains morceaux du revêtement des meubles de cuisine se décollent, l'eau s'infiltre dans la maison par le toit en tôle au dessus de la table à manger en cas de pluie, les transats et chaises autour de la piscine sont dans un état déplorable, les consignes données par les propriétaires, qui font 8 pages, auraient pu être traduites en français (les propriétaires sont anglais). Dans les plus : la maison est très bien située sur les hauteurs de Salernes, aucun vis à vis et les collines à perte de vue. Elle est à environ 1h des gorges et de la mer. Elle offre de beaux volumes. Le jardin comprend une estrade très appréciée des enfants pour y faire des spectacles. Surtout la piscine est très agréable (belles dimensions et profondeur) bien qu'un peu rouillée par endroits. En bref, nous avons passé un agréable séjour mais il est regrettable, au prix de la location, que la maison ne soit pas un minimum entretenue.

About the host

Hosted by David Gentle

We live and work in Central London and spend as much time in France as we can. When we are not able to be there we like to make it available for others to enjoy as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We decided to buy a second home in France in 2000 and spent the next 3 years looking for a suitable property . When we saw Les Olives we fell in love - and we saw it for the first time in November in the rain! Under the provencal sun, it was glorious and the views across the hills are spectacular. We love being there all year round and try to spend Christmas and New Year there when we can. The fireplace is wonderful and makes the house cosy - we play lots of board games, read by the fire and cook long leisurely meals.

What makes this property unique

The villa is very private, quiet and nestled in the hills outside of Salernes, which is less than 2 kilometres from the property. The house itself is easy to share and very child-friendly with few ornaments within reach of little fingers and the pool is within steps of the house and easy to monitor from the main living area of the house. Kids have plenty of space to play on the grounds and the traditional 'terraces' that delineate property boundaries act as invisible 'fences.' For adults, there is plenty of space to spread out or gather for drinks and meals with both covered areas and areas in the sun.
