Nestled in five acres of terraced land, covered in wild thyme, rosemary and olive trees, you’ll find four uniquely designed holiday cottages with a shared swimming pool bathed in sunshine. La Daby is family owned and run. Designed and built by our parents 40 years ago who fell in the love with the land and the Bandol region which is famous for its rosé wine. Catering for couples, families and group bookings, La Daby is remote enough for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday, but close enough to the local villages and beaches for those with itchy feet who want to explore, sample the freshest, finest foods that Provence has to offer and visit the many vineyards in the area. La Daby's 5 acres of grounds are made up of four separate cottages available to rent; Chenes (6 guests), Lauriers (6 guests), Tour (2 guests), and Lavendes (4 guests) which rents together with a separate adjacent 'Cabanon' with two single beds (2 guests). The cottages share an unheated swimming pool. The cottages can be rented individually or hired together to host a total of 20 guests. La Daby is the perfect place to unwind. Swim, read, and during summer months, live an alfresco lifestyle, eating all meals on the terraces. There are gas BBQs available outside Lavendes, Lauriers and Chenes and a plancha outside Tour, we provide the gas. In the winter indulge in coastal walks and fireside evening meals. We have plenty sunshine, even in October. The Mediterranean is just a 10 minute drive away, and we’re close to the famous Circuit Paul Ricard racetrack and hill-top villages with winding roads and paths. But it is the spirit of La Daby that brings people back year after year. A home from home, with personal touches in each of the four cottages. La Daby offers you time to take a breath, surrounded by pine trees and blue sky. A place that creates time to dream while enjoying all that Provence has to offer. We have grown-up here, bring our children here and now want to share our unique family space with others. We offer year-round bookings and have free WIFI – even stretching to the pool so you can stream your favourite music as you swim! Children will have a fabulous time in a safe environment with a gated pool, plus we provide a table tennis table with bats for guest use. We have a few baby cots please request at the time of booking. The unheated pool is open from the end of May until the end of September. When playing music please be aware of our neighbours and other guests and turn it off at 22.00 to comply with local laws. *Please note Cabanon has no heating and is therefore not available to rent in Winter months, all the other cottages have heating. Les Chenes is secluded at the top of the property, with the drive taking you right up to the house, making it easy to unload any shopping and bags. It surrounded by Mediterranean oak trees, and has double doors leading from the airy sitting room and the double bedroom straight out onto the terrace. A pergola offers welcome shade from the summer sun for your lunchtime feast of local Provencal food and a glass of rose. The double bed not only has a very comfortable ‘memory-foam’ mattress, but views straight out into the surrounding landscape. High ceilings with exposed wood beams keep the room cool in summer. The well-equipped kitchen has a four-ring gas cooker with oven, which is great for catering for large numbers. There is also a dishwasher, which means minimal washing up. It has a large fridge to fit all your drinks, and food needs. Fresh herbs – rosemary, thyme and fennel – for creating delicious authentic dishes are just outside the door. The good size sitting room has a table for dining on cosy winter nights, and an open fire which is perfect for barbequing – giving food a sensational wood smoked taste – perfect with a good bottle of Bandol red wine. Each side of the fireplace there are built-in sofas to curl up on with a good book from the eclectic collection to be found on the shelves. The sofas turn into single beds which can be used all year round, but especially in the summer when living outside is the norm. In Winter, electric raditors keep all the rooms warm with or without a fire. Wifi available throughout . The snug bunk bedroom, has a window for each bunk and a ship type ladder to get up to the top bunk making it a fun room for any child. In the bathroom there is a good shower over the bath, and a window giving views out onto the greenery and oak trees behind the house. A washing machine completes the equipment to fill all needs.
