Perks for the Parents
This family-focused retreat in the south of France has everything you need to keep your kids happy and yourself relaxed. With all-inclusive childcare, meals and activities in peak season plus attentive hosts ready to make your stay perfect, it’s a unique boutique family resort. Rates include regulated childcare from age 3 months and up plus a crèche, babysitting, a kids club and a Friday morning PJ party allowing you and your other half to have a lie in as children are picked up from the house in their pyjamas to have breakfast as a group. Add to that herb-filled gardens, swimming pools, tennis courts and a petting farm, plus catering and everything you could need for pre-schoolers and you can see why it’s been described as ‘heaven for families’.
Why Kids Love it
There are swimming pools, a petting farm, tennis courts, bikes and plenty of other children to make friends with and play with. All guests get daily petting farm visits, unlimited use of the crèche and kids club (fully regulated and takes babies from 3 months to kids of 12 years +) and 2 nights of babysitting included in the price for date nights. All the equipment you could need for a preschooler is included, from strollers and cribs to toys and baby baths. The experience is all: enough freedom to explore and try new things; qualified and experienced staff on hand to help; privacy and family time together in a private residence, and space to play and make new friends as well. It is also an hour’s drive to the beach and there are plenty of towns to visit nearby.

Accommodation Details
This apartment shares facilities with 4 apartments and another house on the estate, all part of a renovated 19th century Roquefort dairy. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there are 2 further twin bedrooms, one on a mezzanine floor. All stairs are gated. There is a further bathroom with a double shower. The apartment has an open plan living space, kitchen and private terrace.
Style Notes
French fancy. The apartment is characterful and wonderfully French, with original features including exposed stone walls, original tiled and French oak floors. Even bathrooms have exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings. Bedrooms are spacious and the downstairs area is given over entirely to an open plan living space. We love the terrific provision for families with young children, the thoughtful hosts and the outdoor lounge.
