The name may be lighthearted, but the newly built villa Excuse My French (EMF) has a modernity and serenity that make it feel more like a spa-style retreat than a playful beach house. The luxury rental property in Flamands is surrounded by greenery, both around its outer walls and within its central courtyard. Although it lacks a sea view, its location puts it very close to Flamands Beach, as well as the Cheval Blanc hotel.

Excuse My French is an excellent home for a family holiday. On the main floor, there is a modern, open-plan kitchen and a living area that can be fully air-conditioned or opened up on two sides to allow the island breezes to waft through and to accentuate the feeling of connection with nature. Outside, the terrace, open-air dining room, and swimming pool are surrounded by palm trees and dark stone walls.

The primary bedroom is to one side this main space and occupies a private pavilion that is accessible via a spiral staircase. This room has a European king-size bed, a full ensuite bathroom, and a large private terrace. Inside, in the main structures, the two additional bedrooms are upstairs and reached by an internal staircase. Each has a European king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with a shower, and sink, but they share a toilet in the corridor between the two rooms. Both overlook the internal courtyard and share a terrace.
