Wonderful view from top of the hill
We had a very nice stay in this traditional house on top of the hill in Pyla-sur-mer. The view is really wonderful and complements the large garden nicely where you can sit in the shade under big trees. There used to be a direct access to the beach, but as the owner told us, this was recently closed and now it is a walk of just under 10 Minutes through the residential streets of the neighbourhood and down a staircase to the beach just below.
Unfortunately our stay was a bit overshadowed by the forest fires very close to the house, which meant that we had to evacuate the house during the last days of our stay. The owner Guillaume tried to assist us as much as he could from a distance while surely his mind was somewhere else with his house being seriously threatened by the fires. Guillaume offered to refund us for the nights we could not stay at the villa, which I am not sure whether he had to, since a forest fire seems to be "force majeure", but it was very correct of him to do so. Thanks for that!
As you can read in other reviews already, the Hotel Corniche below has an evening programme with music, so that didn't come unexpected.
Altogether this villa lends itself very well to a trip with multiple parties, as every bedroom has direct access to a bathroom and the upstairs balcony easily accommodated all of us for dinner.
We are happy to have spent the days that we could at this villa, even if our stay was cut short at the end.
