Les Oliviers de Flayosc - Gîte or self-catering holiday apartment with swimming pool near Draguignan in the heart of Provence


For many years we have been keen francophiles spending increasing amounts of time here in France. We were always keen on holidays in gites finding that they offered us a taste of the real France and on our first holiday in Flayosc in 1995 we so fell in love with this wonderful village that by 1998 we had decided that we wanted our own property here and the search began.

	The story of Les Oliviers could fill at least one book – it is a story of excitement, disappointment and, eventually, great pleasure and happiness and is better (or worse depending on how you look at it!) than any tale of Peter Mayle’s! Although our home was initially intended as a holiday home or 'maison secondaire' we soon found that we couldn't get enough of this beautiful area. So, in July 2003 we moved here permanently. Have we regretted our decision? Not once! We spend our time looking after our free range hens and tending our olive trees, creating a garden around our home and enjoying our wonderful Provencal lifestyle.
As expert 'giters' we tried to think of everything that we hoped for from a gite holiday when we created our apartment - comfort (including English pillows!), privacy yet with friendly owners with whom we could pass the time of day, and of course peace and quiet! And if our guests enjoy Les Oliviers and its surroundings half as much as we do then we guarantee that they'll have a lovely holiday.
