A very pleasant exchange!
Sybille and Sean are fantastic hosts, their property is beautiful, fully equipped and very well positioned. They left us so many useful suggestions, we felt at home and everything was just perfect. We have been in contact with them before and during our/their stay and it was very pleasant to "meet" them, even if at a distance. They were also fantastic as our guests: they treated our home as if it were their own and they fully enjoyed the beauties of Tenerife, sharing their experiences with us.

We live most of the year in Ireland and spend many weeks each year in France., but we like to visit other places too and we love the home exchange idea.
Our two adult daughters have their own families and visit us in France but do not travel with us on our exchanges , though our sister and her husband sometimes join us for a week on US exchanges.
(We like to spend two weeks in Southern USA in February /March most years)
We have had great exchanges with Los Angeles , Balaton ( Hungary) / Vienna , and Grayton Beach Florida. over the last five years.
Gassin is available most months of the year apart from July and late september - for Non-simultaneous or simultaneous exchange, but for 2020 only April and Oct / Nov / Dec remain available
We are already planning for 2021 and hoping for exchanges with Grayton Beach area and New Orleans or maybe Palm Springs / Ca.. Also Hamburg ( Blankenese area) and possibly Norway West coast and Nord Tirol
A 5 day trip to Hamburg or Amsterdam before Christmas would be very nice

Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The most beautiful medieval villages of Gassin , Ramatuelle, Grimaud and St Tropez with it's famous Citadelle, Impressionist museum (L'annonciade), Place de Lice and Waterfront quays are all within five miles.
The Saturday and Tuesday markets in St Tropez are worth a visit. The other villages also have smaller more intimate markets, and Ramatuelle on a sunday is particularly attractive
Pampelonne sandy Beach with its simple but elegant restaurants is 12 minutes by car.
There are some wonderful vineyards within Gassin . These include Minuty, Barbeyrolles and Bertaud Belieu at the domaine entrance.
There are dozens of good restaurants to choose from.
If you stay longer in the area, Aix en Provence and Nice and the great villages of Mougin, Biot and St Paul de Vence are within 90 minutes drive. Marseille and Arles another 1/2 hour. It is unlikely that you will make more than one such trip, unless you are particularly single-minded as the immediate surroundings are so absorbing
