The property is approached down an imposing long drive. When the house comes into view it is clearly slightly quirky, with a round room and pigeon loft. Inside the house is comfortably furnished in a style and materials from an earlier era (maybe 60's), not sure exactly which and I don't want to offend the owner. The entire building feels lived in, as if the owners have just gone away for a week! This was just my kind of house, we were twelve and there was plenty of room and bathrooms. The outside dining table was vast and in close proximity to the well equipped kitchen - it even had sharp knives! The swimming pool was really clean and good for smaller children. It was not far from Marseille, Cassis and the national park of Calanque, Gémenos is a pretty little village. This is a lovely holiday house and the perfect antidote to those anodyne minimalist type properties. It is highly recommended!
