ooops- sorry - didn't look at the price, and next to the St Tropez Golf Club would probably be very bling-y!

beety look at igluvillas.com. the company is known to me.

53 villas available for your dates, in cote d'azur, sleeping 8.

Tutter · 12/07/2006 10:38

oh, but only a handful under £2k - sorry!

Beetroot · 12/07/2006 11:35

we are going for this

Not really what we wanted. Preferred a french style house but needs must.

We found a fabulous one here But the dates just did not work out adn it wouldhave cost us lot more.

Next year though!!!

we've done a kind of DIY scott dunn - works out (just about) cheaper - local cook coming to the villa to cook, housekeeper etc.

Tutter · 12/07/2006 12:15
