This contemporary apartment is perfect for a couple’s retreat in the south of France. Granted, there’s no oven here, but you’ll find a plethora of eateries in the local area to sample some fine French cuisine, And while it lacks air-conditioning, the sun-kissed private balcony is just the spot to enjoy some fresh air over a glass of wine. Locally, nearby Toulon is well worth a visit, and when the sea calls your name, jump in the car for a ten-minute drive to Galle Pine beach.

Home truths:
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*There's no air conditioning available here. It could get a little hot during the summer.
*If you're travelling by plane, Toulon-Hyères is the nearest airport – it's a twenty-minute drive from this home.
