We have had a
wonderful week here in Flayosc. Many thanks for an authentic Provençal
experience - we have loved sitting at the table by the window eating
croissants and listening to the babble below. We have enjoyed visiting
Aups. Moustier Ste. Marie and Cotignac and have also been drawn back to
our favourite beaches: Tahiti (St. Tropez) and La Lavanou - the strip
of sand above the main beach is especially lovely. Although Frejus and
St. Raphael are closer, we would not recommend visiting them.

Had a fantastic week here in
Studio Mimosa in Flayosc - great appartment, lovely village. Never
would have expected to eat so well. Obviously the fine dining in
L'Ostaou (more expensive, but worth it) but the others just as good in
their own right (and more easy on the purse!). the surrounding area is
amazing, som many places to visit and explore - the highlights (no
lowlights!) were: 1. Sillians La Cascade - amazing waterfall, crystal
clear water 2. Gorges du Verdon/Lac de Ste. Croix - wonderful scenery,
beautiful place to picnic at and swim in. Of the beaches we tried, La
Nartelle (to the east of Ste. Maxime) would not recommend - busy &
dirty water and L'Elephant (sic), a bit further up the coast towards
St. Raphael - much, much nicer - can park your car right at the
beach... But really it's all good, we'll be back.

A great 2 weeks in
the region, our first time. Flayosc is well situated to go to lots of
places. All of the small towns we sweet and lovely, and good
restaurants - but the best were in Flayosc.

We had a lovely week here,
did lots of walking in the Verdon region, the weather was fantastic all
week & the flat is perfectly positioned to go all over the region.
One tip, go to the boulangerie furthest down the street, the croissants
are great.
July 09 Bob & Molly
London, UK
This is a really lovely
studio in a beautiful location. Flayosc was a great atmosphere, very
friendly locals and lots going on. We ate at L'Ostaou once - it was
great food (but took 1hr to get a drink - don't go if you're in a hurry
or thirsty!) The other bars/restaurants all served good hearty fare. We
would Highly recommend driving to the Lac de Ste. Croix for a picnic by
a beautiful lake and a swim/pedalo/boat ride. We asso tried to visit
the Gorges du Verdon - drove round and saw it in all it's glory but
couldn't find where you could pedalo in it - check with locals to find
out before you set off, it's a long drive. We are sure to come back to
do more exploring.

We loved
Staying in Studio Mimosa and making this our home for a week. Excellent
location! Charming, shabby chic décor. Wonderful shops, wines, antiques, patisseries & restaurants. Quiet at night. After all the villages
we visited, Flayosc was our favourite to come back to at night.
Thank-you!

Charming apartment. Beautiful area. Loved every minute of our stay.

Co Sligo, Ireland
Everything we needed
here in Studio Mimosa. Well situated - enjoyed nearly all the cafés
& boulangeries & most of the other shops! Very friendly. Also
had a good birthday meal at L'Ostaou. If you find yourself in Riez, Le
Rempart next to the bell tower does fabulous food. Highlights of visit
- the Gorges du Verdon - amazing (& we have both been to the Grand
Canyon in US). We also liked Tourtour & many other villages. First
visit to Provence - hope it won't be the last. The sunshine & blue
sky most days were icing on the cake.

Compact, lively
Studio in the heart of a typical provencal village (no tourist shops
etc). Wonderful countryside, friendly locals. Each village has it's own
character. Highlights were: Gorges du Verdon, Cotignac, Collobrieres
& La Garde Freinet. Not forgetting Flayosc! Wonderful choice of
restaurants for such a small village. Merci!

We had a marvellous stay at the Studio; enjoyed the local
merchants and the fabulous breads, cheeses & wines. We explored
from the Gorges du Verdon to the ports along the coast and many of the
villages perched in between. One highlight from a local is
Sillans-la-Cascade, near Salerns - a 20 minute walk to a delightful
waterfall. Merci beaucoup!

The apartment is charming, as is the village - great
atmosphere & shops in the village, also restaurants. Le Muy market
