Appartement charmant au coeur de Bandol
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cet appartement aménagé avec beaucoup de charme. C'est personnel, chaleureux, en endroit où l'on se sent chez soi le temps d'un passage. Les photos avaient attiré notre attention pendant nos recherches; nous n'avons pas été décu. Côté cuisine, il y a tout ce qu'il faut (jusqu'à la machine à café Nespresso). L'emplacement de l'appartement est par ailleur idéal. A quelques pas de la magnifique plage de Renecros et du centre de Bandol, adieu "la voiture". La petite terrasse est parfaite pour petit-déjeuners, apéritifs, et divers repas. La douche devant l'entrée est un vrai plaisir en rentrant de la plage. Pour ceux qui aiment l'authentique et les endroits de caractère, l'appartement est un endroit idéal pour apprécier le sud et la ville de Bandol, combinant plage et shopping / restaurants (tout cela à pied et sans voitures aux alentours). Juste noter que le parking (couvert) est à 5 min à pied (on ne peut pas se garer devant la maison); et qu'il n'a pas de jardin (la plage est par contre vraiment à 2 min). Pour finir, le contact avec Dorathy est très facile et très plaisant. Tout s'est parfaitement organisé l'année dernière; nous y revenons l'été prochain avec nos deux enfants.

A quality apartment in an ideal location
We first visited La Ponote seven years ago and have felt no need or desire to go anywhere else for our late summer holiday. The apartment feels like a home, rather than a holiday let: the kitchen has more gadgets and appliances than you can shake a whisk at, there are ample books and games in the lounge and good wifi for those who feel the need to concern themselves with the outside world. The terrace is a favourite place for breakfast or for lounging with a book after a swim across Renecros bay. The location is, for us, absolutely, superb. Turn left out of the gate, down the steps and you’re on the promenade or at the shops inside five minutes. Market stalls can be found outside the church and mairie every morning – the ham man is not to be missed – look for the longest queue - and a full blown market takes place along the promenade on Tuesday mornings - great fun and tasty. People watching is most enjoyable from Winny’s Bar which is fortunately placed not far from the bottom of the steps! Turn right out of the gate and, in three minutes you can be swimming from Renecros beach – sandy and safe for children and ideal for snorkelling or an energetic swim across to the breakwater. The breakers in the little coves along the coast further westwards offer great photo opportunities when the Mistral blows (or sheltered swimming when it doesn’t!) and for those who prefer dry land the coastal path can be accessed within minutes. Although there are plenty of places to visit in the area (don’t forget the vineyards), the great joy for us has been to put the car in the garage (underground, space reserved as part of the rental) and forget about it for three weeks. The only reason for breaking this routine might be the prospect of a fish lunch in Cassis! It is bliss to have everything you need for the holiday literally on the doorstep. Janet and Derek Winslow

Stylish apartment in stunning location!
The apartment was as beautiful as described on the website. A very comfortable 'home from home' just a couple of minutes walk from the beach with an enclosed bay which lends itself to the most serene sea swimming. The refurbishments have clearly been done by someone with great style and taste and the space has been utilized very effectively. The master bedroom has the lovely feature of doors opening onto the terrace capturing the morning sun. Being so closely located to the center of town, it was also remarkably quiet - the perfect place to escape the stresses of modern life. A very pleasant drive from Nice Airport and also very close to the delightful Aix en Provence, I hope to return in the near future. Many thanks Dorothy.

A Delightful Experience
My Husband and I have visited Bandol several times in the last 30 years, always staying in the Renecross Bay area. On each of our visits we have admired La Ponote from the outside. This year, on looking at the holiday rental site on the computer, imagine my delight when I discovered that the property was available to rent. We had seen the photographs of the interior on the computer but these did not prepare us for the sheer joy of being in this beautiful apartment. It is such a delightful home, modern, yet very French, with such interesting books and games, one need never leave 'home'. The fresh food shops and markets are so close that it is almost criminal not to purchase the goodies on offer and cook them in the very well equipped kitchen. Of course one cannot visit Bandol without visiting the beautiful beaches, surrounding Medaeval villages, markets and towns, so get up early to enjoy these things - but come back soon to La Ponote, relax in the very comfortable sitting room or outside on the lovely terrace, and enjoy a glass or two of the delicious Bandol wine.
