Visited by Caroline
Villa Douce is a fabulous family holiday location. There are lots of activities for everyone of any age to join in with. An unusual feature in the indoor koi carp pool - a touch of the East near the Mediterranean. The heatable pool means that the villa can also be enjoyed in May, June and September by groups who can visit outside the school holidays. Recommended for families and friends looking for a comfortable, well-priced and extremely well-equipped villa venue.

Very good stay
Great stay in this magnificent villa. Lots of time spent at the swimming pool and on the large terrace for very convivial moments. Despite the heat, the house remains cool which is pleasant. The owner is very available and always responded to us very quickly.

Outdated house with lots of space and a beautiful pool
The landlady Catherine is very nice. The house was certainly a pearl with a beautiful pool many years ago. Unfortunately, everything seems very unkempt today. The outdoor kitchen described cannot be used, but that's not a bad thing since life takes place on the terrace and in the large kitchen anyway. Beds, bathrooms, furniture are old and partly broken. That's a real shame because the house could have been made very attractive with a reasonable amount of effort. The town of St. Paul en Foret is nice, but nothing special. Somehow everything feels like it has seen better times. To the beach about 45 minutes. Supermarkets about 15 minutes. We had our dog with us. Everything problem-free. Farm gate not lockable.
