Great stay, wonderful view and wonderful house/pool
Posted Oct. 6, 2023 on HomeAwayIt is a wonderful well maintained house with every modern convenience except for a clothes dryer (need to update description on VRBO icons). It is, for North Americans, a daunting drive down a single track road but you will acclimate after a couple of days. Once you do, it is only 15 minutes to the super market in Fayence. Blazing fast broadband. Have rented in France for 20 years and this house is far and away the best we've ever rented. The pool is exceptionally well maintained, and the outside dining tables very comfortable and practical. And the best part is the exceptional quiet and the view. Great location for exploring the Var and Alpes Maritimes.

Fantastic villa
Posted Aug. 20, 2022 on HomeAwayThis is a lovely villa in an excellent location. The pool is superb and excellently situated right in front of the villa. There is a variety of places to sit and eat outside and the gardens are very attractive and well-maintained. It' s nicely secluded and has lovely views, but is also only a few minutes from Fayence. A trip to the Val d'Iris vineyard is well worthwhile. Inside, the villa is just as good. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are comfortable. The air conditioning is a welcome benefit. This was just right for our family with three teenagers and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Communications with Alain and Johanna were easy and swift at all times, and Johanna was very helpful checking us in and during our stay.

Incredible Place!
Posted Jul. 10, 2022 on HomeAwayHome now after 2 amazing weeks staying with family. This house is something that extra bit special! The location is perfect despite a bit of a windy hilly road to access it but this allows the peace and tranquility that Mas des Olivettes offers.
The house is perfect for all ages and 8 of us stayed there with so much space for everyone. The decor is beautiful, the kitchen well equipped, the gardens stunning and a fabulous infinity pool overlooking Fayence. We struggled to leave the house each day as it was a haven away from the hustle and bustle. Johanna was lovely and very helpful with our enquiries, the villa was cleaned on the 2nd week and left immaculate.
The most amazing unforgettable part of our holiday for us all was our daily visits from the Fox. She is absolutely beautiful, very confident and loves eggs and her particular favourite brie! We hope that the next people staying enjoy feeding and chilling out with the fox as much as we have done. This home provided us with wonderful memories and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.Go on book it, you will have no regrets!

Splendid isolation!
Posted Jun. 29, 2022 on HomeAwayA group of 8 adults, we spent a very happy week in the villa. The house is as advertised and is nicely furnished and well equipped, with stunning views, attractive gardens. and a good size pool. It is a long way from any amenities, but that's the price for privacy, peace and a vista. We enjoyed long walks from the house through the woods and down to Fayence. We also walked to the excellent Le Castellaras restaurant for dinner. Communication with Alain was excellent, with super speedy responses to any queries. One caveat, the directions to find the house were hard to follow.

The best house we’ve rented to date!
Posted Oct. 12, 2021 on HomeAwayThis is a marvellous house; the best we have stayed in of more than a dozen villa rentals in Provence. High up in the hills above Fayence, and at the end of a long winding road through the forest, the house affords total seclusion with magnificent, panoramic views of the surrounding ridges and valleys. Very thoughtfully appointed and beautifully decorated, the visitor is immediately impressed with the enormous living room that looks out through floor-to-ceiling windows over an infinity pool in one direction and dense forest and rock faces in another. The kitchen is small but well equipped in all respects other than having an induction hob, rather than gas, and a small oven. However, there is a large gas barbecue on the covered terrace. Over and above the excellence of the accommodation, we found the owner, M. Alain, to be most congenial and helpful with any enquiry, no matter how trivial; he also offered us generous terms should we have had to cancel at short notice because of Covid. The local manager, Johanna, was punctual, efficient, charming and absolutely delightful. We had the best three week holiday imaginable.

Wonderful house and location
Posted Aug. 15, 2021 on HomeAwayI stayed at this beautiful house for 3 weeks together with family and friends. The location is a bit distant but the tranquility and view is worth it. We felt like home and we will definitely come back. We can absolutely recommend it.

Beautiful property!
Posted Sep. 25, 2019 on HomeAwayWe absolutely loved our stay at Mas Les Olivette in Fayence. We are a family of 7 adults, my husband and I, with our adult kids and spouses. Seeing the property in person for the first time took our breath away. There was this beautiful infinity pool and patio area with this spectacular view of the town of Fayence. Then you walk inside to see the gorgeous interior that at the same time was so warm and inviting. We enjoyed many meals and afternoon snacks both outdoors and inside. The kitchen setup was perfect for this. With the four separate bedrooms and each with their own bathroom made it most comfortable and gave everyone their privacy should they want it. We enjoyed the property so much it was hard to leave to go on day trips, but we did for sure with visits into the town of Fayence as well as seeing Cannes, San Tropez and Monaco etc.. You need a car and after the initial drive getting to the property, you do get used to maneuvering around the countryside pretty quickly. Gorgeous scenery when driving. Can’t forget to mention the Michelin Star restaurant just a kilometer from us. It was the trip of a lifetime for our family. Such wonderful memories! Thank you Alain, for allowing us the opportunity to stay at Mas Les Olivette! The Lindsay Family, Toronto, Canada

Amazing Location to Get Away
Posted Jul. 23, 2019 on HomeAwayWe are a family of 4 with two older teenage kids and had a wonderful week at this property in the second week of July. Although the location is a little difficult to find along a narrow road (a sturdy SUV is recommended), the oasis at the end of the drive makes it all worthwhile. The property is high-end style and quality within a lovely, totally private, setting. It is well supplied with all the mod cons, a well stocked kitchen and a great Barbeque.
We enjoyed the lovely view down the valley to Fayence whilst sitting eating our late breakfast or dinner at in the al fresco area next to the wonderful pool. We would recommend this property to all, and would have loved to spend another week (at least) relaxing here.
Although we spent a lot of time relaxing at the property we also managed to fit in a day trip to Monaco, another to Cannes/Antibes and a third to the Amazing Verdon Gorges and the Lavender Fields around Valensole - just beautiful. Each day as we returned to the property we were so grateful to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle, and just chill! Thank you Alain, if we can, we will be back

Stunning
Posted Jul. 25, 2018 on HomeAwayWe have had an amazing time at the villa. Everything worked as it should and if there was a problem Alain sent an army of people to sort it out. The views are to die for. The area fabulous and easy for days out at the coast or back on to the motorway for further journeys. The walk into Fayence though a little overgrown is lovely, taking about 50minutes to an hour, but Google Maps may have to help a bit. The house is spacious, very well equipped and just lovely with many different areas to dine or sit you never feel on top of anyone. The only concern we had was finding it as an interpretation error called a horse paddock a horse paddle and the road looked so uninviting we doubted it was the right one. However once you know it's there (third turning on the left and about 1/2 mile down at the end of the road), It's not a problem. You do need transport at this property and a 4x4 would be an advantage! Though our little Prius took it all in it's stride. Cannot fault it and would love to come back. Highly HIGHLY recommended!
