Description
A path without traffic leads in about 400m - to a sandy cove where mica in the white sand looks like diamonds dancing in the water.
The small village of Canadel is on the sea side of the Corniche des Maures, a 26km coastal road stretching from Lavandou to La Croix-Valmer, with breathtaking sea views. On the land side rises the Massif des Maures. A road 5 minutes from the villa leads to the Col and the ridge path, superb for walking, cycling and picnics with vast blue vistas below.
We designed the villa to have as little division between house and garden as possible and to have privacy and space for different ages and activities. Outside the bedroom wing is the cactus garden with swings, a tree house, badminton, table tennis and boules play areas. Two bedrooms have french doors opening onto a central terrace with a pepper tree, family dining table and chaise lounges facing the sea . . . still leaving space for yoga!
The living/dining room wing leads to a covered terrace with oak table, stone barbecue, summer kitchen and a gate to enclosed private pool (open mid-May to mid-October or by special request). Up the steps is our "cocktail terrace" - a quiet hideaway with eagles nest view of the sea and islands.
All bedrooms are screened and have ceiling fans, bedside reading lights and wardrobes. Two beds are 160cms; one has adjustable backrest. Two bedrooms are ensuite, another has adjacent bathroom with tub with sea view: overlook the Mediterranean as you soak, with slate sill for chilled white wine. A fourth double bedroom (140 cm) looks onto our garden and has an adjacent shower room. A children's room has built-in bunks (80cm x 150 cm) and 2 single beds (80 cm x 190 cm).
The kitchen is state of the art, again with stunning sea views as it looks out to the Mediterranean.
This villa is our holiday home rather than a commercial rental property and therefore equipped with books, games, paintings, art materials, plants, CD's, DVD's, satellite TV, comfortable classic furniture, low voltage lighting on dimmers, telephone, fax, internet connection, alarm linked to central station and a caretaker couple from the next village who are available for mid-stay cleaning and babysitting on request.
Gentle steps lead up to the first floor which has all the living and terrace accommodation on one level without steps: a boon for the less mobile. The ground floor has a separate studio which can sleep up to 4, with independent kitchen, shower and WC. It is available at a small supplementary rent for over-spill.
We believe the villa has all the ingredients needed to make a memorable holiday and you will find it a fantastic place to be!

The gated, landscaped private pool (10 meters x 5 meters) is tiled with glass mosaics and serviced weekly. Parasols, sunbathing mattresses and chairs for use around the pool. We wanted a garden that was not overlooked, not manicured and diverse to give different age groups some privacy.

We were in heaven!
We would like to say Thank You to you both for letting us share your beautiful house, La Lezardiere, last week. It was a wonderful place to catch up with our old friends. We have holidayed together in various parts of the world for 40 years whenever conferences or sabbaticals have put us in the same hemisphere! It was great to meet in such a spectacular place and get to meet their new granddaughter. You have the perfect house for family holidays, what fun you must have had over the years. It was so easy not to do anything but we did visit some wonderful hill top towns and markets. We certainly hope we can return one day with our family who would think they were in heaven!
Captivating location.
We were thoroughly impressed by your holiday home and its captivating location; it was particularly atmospheric when the "mistral" shook the shutters and swished the palms. The mimosa and acacia were in bloom, the Domaine was lovely and Sunday lunch at the Maurin des Maures was a great experience. We also liked Ramatuelle and Bormes and were taken with the Signacs at L'Annonciade.
La Lezardiere rules!
Still the nicest place we have ever stayed in!
Perfect for families!
Fantastic place. Perfect for family of different ages. Loved the integrated kitchen/living room where we could all be together
So sad to leave!
Thank you very much for letting us enjoy your wonderful house. The views from all parts are really spectacular and your super terraces made eating out a real pleasure. The house is probably the best equipped place we have ever stayed in. Many thanks too for your recommendation for Le Sud, two of our party had a fantastic meal there. We are sad to be leaving but hope to return next year.
We love it!
We love this place! It has been an unforgettable experience and we don’t want to leave! The ambience of this house is pristine – the large French windows looking out across the sparkling sea has provided the perfect place for a magical family holiday. So many areas to escape to throughout this divine house. Days spent diving off nearby rocks into the crystal, aquamarine waters of the Mediterranean. Returning to the cool refuge of the house to read by the pool or in the shady hammock. After a couple of expeditions to local restaurants it soon became obvious there was no real need to leave. Preferring barbeques by the pool or cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. We could love to come back one day!!
An absolute delight!
Thanks for letting us share your beautiful home. Absolute delight to invite our guests to this wonderful place, to spend a holiday together. Everyone had their preferred corner of paradise. My husband, who’d forgotten his knives (chefs never take a holiday without) couldn’t believe you had the same as him. My 6 year old lived in the pool pretty much the whole fortnight. Family from the UK sought the shady corners and played games under the trees, whilst our French family lay like lizards on the terrace whilst the 4 year old had to sit just above the painted sign on the tree house just to prove a point, and play with her dolls. As for me: after two weeks of quick showers a decadent bath with a view on the next to last night was bliss, also morning coffee beneath the pepper tree, the air full with the scent of Franzipan, and the beautiful yellow flowers on the tree which overhangs the far end of the pool, which opened this last week. Beautiful memories of hot sunshine and time spent en famille.
Just perfect!
Beautiful house, beautiful weather – we couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Clare, for thinking of every possible detail and the best equipped kitchen we’ve ever seen! We ate here most evenings on the terrace but our favourite lunching place is Tamaris Plage, just down the road in Pramousquier. Fabulous view and delicious food. Hate to leave and hope we can return next year!
