|Property type
|Minimum Stay
This beautiful villa with a superb heated pool 10m x 5m. Set within private 0.5 acre gardens in the picturesque tranquil village of Moissac Bellevue. Nestled within the Var National Park, very near to the turquoise lake of St. Croix with its waterside villages, restaurants and pebble beaches. There are tennis courts 5 minutes walk from the villa. Table tennis in the garden. Two double and two twin bedrooms. 2 bathrooms, one en-suite. Double living room which comfortably accommodates 8 people. Modern kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine. Baby cots and highchair provided. 1.5 hours from Nice, Toulon and Marseille airport.
We own a house in the village but needed a larger property as well to accommodate our children and grandchildren. This villa was perfect. The accommodation, grounds and pool were ideal. Everything was well maintained and user friendly. We have rented many luxury villas throughout Europe but this one represented the best value and we would recommend it to anyone. Needless to say, we will return.
We recently stayed in this beautiful villa and had a simply magical break in this stunning location. The local village restaurant is like a dream, the best of rural, proper french cooking with a bill that will make you wish you'd ordered twice as much - Food that good should not be such good value !
The larger local town Aups is great with lots to do plenty of restaurants. The Lake has powered rental boats which makes for a great day out, the lake also has crystal clear water which you can swim in. None of the brown crap in lakes you get in the UK !
Teresa who owns the villa with her family is an efficient, knowledgeable pleasure to deal with and very professional.
The combination of a great property, amazing location, and nice owner to deal with make this a sure fire return for us and HIGHLY recommended.
This is the most fantastic property for a holiday in Provence. We have stayed four times over the last five years - as a family of four and also with additional friends. The location is brilliant, quiet, easy to get to and great for visiting Lac Ste Croix. The villa is well equipped with a great pool. We will certainly be back.

BMI View: Ethiopia's state-driven investment model raises the likelihood of successful project delivery -
particularly hydropower megaprojects that will dominate our forecast to 2025. At this stage, our forecasts
are conservative based on the huge scale of the country's hydropower expansion plans and concerns that
disputes over water rights could lead to delay, but we do expect to upgrade the forecast as projects move
into the construction phase owing to robust government support.
Key Trends And Latest Developments
? Hydropower will remain the dominant source of electricity generation in Ethiopia over our 10-year
forecast period as the country pursues ambitious plans to build a series of hydropower megaprojects. Our
forecasts are conservative and currently belie Ethiopia's government targets and true hydropower
potential on the basis that many hydropower projects are still in the planning phase. Nevertheless, with
such strong government support for new hydropower, we will consider revising our forecasts upwards as
projects move into the construction phase.
? Ethiopia's plan to use its vast hydropower resources to lift low domestic electrification rates and establish
itself as an East African electricity export hub will drive its ambitious hydropower expansion plans. The
Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is the country's flagship project and we have included the
6GW project in our forecasts.
? In line with our views, state-owned Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) is also slated to build two
hydroelectric dams on the Genale-Dawa and Dabus rivers, according to reports from July 2016. The
schemes will have a combined generation capacity of 672MW, of which the new Genale-Dawa dam will
account for 248MW, while the Dabus River dam will have capacity of 424MW. Similarly, in June 2016
EEP awarded the EUR2.5bn (USD2.83bn) Koysha Hydroelectric Dam project to Italian industrial
group Salini Impregilo.
? Beyond the hydropower sector, Ethiopia is emerging as a burgeoning renewables market in Sub-Saharan
Africa. On June 27 2016, China's Dongfang Electric Corporation signed a contract with stateowned
EEP to construct a 120MW wind park in the Ayesha area of the Somali region of Ethiopia. It is
also expected that the signing of Ethiopia's first independent PPA in 2015 - for the Corbetti geothermal
project - should set a precedent for other private investors.

Trials for New Cancer Treatments
Reach Only a Tiny Fraction of Patients
Clinical trials, which give perilously ill patients a chance to live, often go unfilled in a disconnect that hurts patients and researchers alike.
If you've heard about clinical trials for cancer treatments in the past, you've probably heard stories like Evan Rose's. Rose was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma in San Francisco in 2007. With few conventional treatment options, Rose, a 49-year-old urban designer, researched clinical trials.
He learned about a trial to investigate a process called TumorGraft. Researchers take pieces of a patient's tumor, implant them in lab mice, and screen a number of drug regimens on the mice in hopes of finding a combination likely to work on that particular patient.
"I thought, let's have the mice be the guinea pigs for a change, not me," Rose said.
Rose persuaded his doctors, who were skeptical at first, to help him participate in the trial. (They had to provide a tumor sample and help devise the list of medications to be tested.) Rose paid for the process out of pocket, at no small expense, eventually moving to New York to be closer to one supportive doctor.
It paid off.
"One of my doctors told me frankly that I wasn't going to make it through the year" — 2013 — "unless we could find a chemo that would work. And, voila, the early results on one of the combos were very promising," Rose said.
The drug combination shrank Rose's tumors enough to make surgery on one of his lungs possible. Rose's sarcoma eventually became resistant to the drugs, which is not unusual for sarcoma patients. He has signed up for a second round of tests to see if another regimen might shrink the drug-resistant tumors.
"Compared to where we were in January 2013, this is a pretty remarkable place to be," he said.
Healthline interviewed eight people who participated in cancer research trials, and all gave the experience glowing reviews. Patients described feeling like VIPs, getting top-of-the-line healthcare as study participants.
But the vast majority of patients do not participate in clinical trials; less than 5 percent of adults with cancer do. It's not because there are too few trials to go around. More than 2 in 10 cancer trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute between 2000 and 2007 failed to meet their patient recruitment goals.
One in 10 trials must shut down due to lack of participation. Almost 40 percent of all cancer trials that don't run to completion are cancelled because of low patient participation.
To enroll in a trial, patients must clear a series of hurdles. They must learn about the experimental treatment, meet eligibility criteria to receive it, decide that the potential benefits outweigh the costs and risks, and travel to the trial site for a series of appointments. At each of these stages, the field of would-be participants thins.
Doctors Fail to Mention Trials
Many patients never hear about trials because their doctors don't recommend them. Among the patients Healthline interviewed, most found out about clinical trials through their own research. The only patients who heard about trials through their doctors were referred to trials those doctors were running themselves.
Advocates say patients are better served with more information, whether or not they decide to participate in trials. But doctors aren't being callous.
"Cancer is a devastating disease. Doctors are doing the best they can and for whatever reason they don't know about trials," said Dr. Leonard Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society.
The clinical trials system puts the burden on already over-busy medical practices to stay informed about ongoing trials, screen patients for eligibility, and walk them through daunting consent forms, doctors told Healthline.
The Mount Sinai Hospital oncologist Dr. Ajai Chari juggles clinical practice and research. He explained that educating patients about clinical trials — and going over consent forms that often exceed 30 pages — slows down the practice's carefully choreographed flow of patients through timeslots and exam rooms.
"Unless you have a vested interest as a clinician, you're not going to find the time," he said.
But skewed financial incentives also help explain why so few doctors refer patients to clinical trials. If doctors provide radiation or chemotherapy, they can bill for it.
"Physicians are generally unlikely to refer their patients to another provider to enroll in clinical trial when they can offer them a standard treatment," said Dr. Matthew Galsky, a Mount Sinai oncologist who has researched recruiting barriers for clinical trials.
Lichtenfeld agreed that financial incentives are part of the problem.
"People receive third- and fourth-line chemotherapy and may receive chemo within weeks of death when it's obvious that the drugs aren't going to work," Lichtenfeld said, referring to egregious cases he has heard about. "That issue of financial self-interest is always on the table."
Doctors likely do not consciously consider finances. Economic incentives may simply tip the scales when doctors are already inclined to believe they can provide the best care for their patients.
"The reasons are manifold. One is financial; referring a patient out of practice does not help the bottom line. But one is simply based on wanting to continue to care for that patient," Galsky said.
Patients Misunderstand Scientific Processes
The public's spotty understanding of how medical research works compounds doctors' challenges.
For example, researchers and patient advocacy groups have said that many patients are reluctant to participate in trials because they fear they will receive a sugar pill.
In fact, placebos are generally only used in early stage trials, and never when a life-saving treatment is already available. Trials typically compare the best available treatment to the same treatment plus the new drug or protocol that's being studied.
Alice Gordon, a 62-year-old retired New Jersey teacher, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002. She declined at first to participate in a study mentioned by her doctor because she was scared.
"People think that, 'If I don't get the trial medicine, I'm going to get a sugar pill.' That's not well explained," she said. Gordon later participated in a different clinical trial.
"I have heard patients say they don't want to be a guinea pig and possibly die just to try out a new drug," said Fran Kamin, a graduate student in the social sciences at Florida Atlantic University. She participated in a national clinical trial for advanced breast cancer in 2011.
"Maybe because I understand how the process works in general, I didn't find it that daunting," Kamin added. "I had nothing to lose."
But even patients who, like Kamin, understand how trials work may not feel comfortable approaching their own health through the dispassionate lens of science.
"It's one thing to think of it in the abstract and quite another when you have received a potentially life-threatening diagnosis and are thinking about the ways in which you're going to treat your disease," said Meghan Gutierrez, chief program, policy, and communications officer at the Lymphoma Research Foundation. The foundation runs a hotline to educate patients about clinical trials.
Method drives researchers, but passions drive patients. The two don't always mix well.
For instance, some trials feature experimental treatments that have gotten buzz in the media and within the patient community. These trials generate a lot of interest, but would-be participants sometimes refuse to enroll in randomized trials because they can't be guaranteed to get the new therapy. Other trials test treatments that few have ever heard of, and patients may see no reason to go through the extra effort to sign up. Randomized trials are the final step before the FDA considers a drug for approval.
"If it's a life-and-death situation, I'd be way more prone to give it a shot, but for those who are like, 'Well, we could help out for the benefit of science,' that's a tougher choice," said Dale Smith, a 67-year-old retired Philadelphia resident. Smith participated in a double-blind trial to test a drug on patients who would normally just be monitored.
Andrea Denicoff, R.N., the head of operations for the National Clinical Trials Network at the National Cancer Institute, said both too much hype and too little can make it difficult to enroll trial participants. It's especially tough when the new treatments have been approved for other uses and patients can get access to them "off-label" to treat their disease.
For instance, said Denicoff, for a time women with breast cancer were so convinced that bone marrow transplants would cure them — even suing insurance companies to cover the surgeries — that it was difficult to complete the studies that eventually showed the risky surgeries did not improve survival rates.
Trial Eligibility Rules Too Strict
Regulatory requirements designed to protect patients can sometimes be overly rigid.
For instance, the first patients to take an experimental drug must have healthy organs to make sure they can flush out drugs that prove unexpectedly toxic. But, Galsky said, the same criteria may be too limiting in later studies to explore additional uses for the same drug.
Researchers may also lock in narrow eligibility criteria in hopes of producing definitive results for publication. Those trial results may help the drugs get approved. However, they may also make oncologists less likely to prescribe the treatments to patients whose medical histories are more complicated and whose prognoses are bleaker, Galsky said.
Sergei German, 54, researched clinical trials online after being diagnosed with lymphoma in early 2013. A New Yorker, German had access to a number of trial locations nearby. But finding a trial for which he qualified took some finesse.
"You have to be sick, but not too sick," German said.
The strictness of criteria for the ongoing Mount Sinai-based trial he eventually joined — testing an immunotherapy for lymphoma — is a case in point.
"You have to have a tumor which is available for biopsy, close to the surface of the skin, and another that's available for injection, and you have to have at least one more tumor which is a control," German said.
"Often times by the time patients feel like they should be seeking clinical trials, they are no longer eligible," Galsky said.
Urban Research Centers Leave Rural Residents Hanging
Some patients are excluded from trials based on geography. Most trials take place in major cancer centers, which are most often found in big cities.
Almost half of all cancer patients live more than an hour away from the nearest clinical trial, according to Galsky's research. How far away patients live also affects their treatment outcomes.
The prospect of commuting to regular, physically taxing medical appointments can play a major role in a patient's decision-making process. Patients who travel for experimental treatments sometimes, but not always, receive financial help to cover travel and lodging. The prospect of those travel costs may deter others, according to patients Healthline interviewed.
When Zoe Beck, a 74-year-old resident of Shelton, Connecticut, began to educate herself about bladder cancer after receiving the diagnosis, she chose to go to New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center partly because of its proximity.
"I saw that a center for excellence was just 70 miles away in New York," she said. Beck never got experimental treatments, but she provided samples for a study testing new ways to track how well chemotherapy drugs are working.
"They always did it on the days when I was already scheduled for something so I wouldn't have to schlep in from Connecticut to New York," Beck said.
After all, time is a cancer patient's most valuable resource. And chemotherapy is grueling enough that even a relatively short trip like Beck's can be an ordeal.
"If you have a disease like this, you do not want to have to travel. That to me was a major, major part of my decision. You need the least amount of trauma and distress in your treatment," said Alice Gordon. She has remained in New Jersey for all of her treatments except for two surgeries performed in New York City.
Denicoff, of the National Cancer Institute, underscored just how much some patients want to stay close to home. Some women with breast cancer opt to have their affected breast removed in a mastectomy. If there is a radiation center close by, they could have just the tumor removed, in what's called a lumpectomy, followed by radiation.
"Here we've come up with this successful way to have less morbid care but, due to sheer distance, some patients will choose mastectomy anyway because it's just easier," Denicoff said.
Change Comes Slowly
Elizabeth Naylor, a 25-year-old middle-school teacher living in a suburb of Boston when she was diagnosed in 2009, had everything going for her and still almost didn't get the experimental treatment that saved her life.
Boston is home to several of the most highly regarded medical centers in the country. Naylor went for chemotherapy for her non-Hodgkin lymphoma at one of the best cancer treatment and research centers in the world, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Because she was young and otherwise healthy, the team of doctors that oversaw her care expected chemotherapy to work quickly. But her tumors continued to grow through two rounds of chemotherapy. As Naylor braced for the third round, her primary doctor sat her down and let her know just how dire her situation had become.
"He was upfront with me that he wasn't giving up on me, but it was really bad," Naylor said. He gave her about a month to live.
But even as Naylor's doctor prescribed a difficult treatment with little chance of success, he never mentioned clinical trials, Naylor said. He likely knew that clinical trials were an option: Dana-Farber is currently home to more than 400 cancer trials for adults. Naylor's doctor is currently leading three trials for non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients.
Naylor and her husband are educated and financially stable. And they had personal connections to leverage. It was Naylor's father-in-law who came up with the idea of a trial after reaching out to every doctor and nurse he had ever met in several dozen phone calls over a 12-hour period.
Naylor's father-in-law, Reverend Robert Naylor, managed to get the cell phone number of Dr. Wyndham Wilson, a lymphoma researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. The two called him on a Saturday, and, to Naylor's surprise, he answered. On Monday she had an appointment.
By a strict accounting of the eligibility criteria for the trial she participated in, Naylor was too sick to qualify. However, the doctors had some wiggle room in determining who was too sick and, seeing her age, they enrolled her anyway.
At the NIH, Naylor received stem cells donated by her sister that were used to make T-cells specially trained to recognize lymphoma cells as intruders. The treatment almost certainly saved her life. She is now cancer free, with withering scars where grapefruit-sized tumors had been.
Throughout the trial, the oncologist Naylor had seen at Dana-Farber spent hours on the phone with her husband, painstakingly explaining the procedures described in the NIH paperwork. He was not lazy or ill informed, by Naylor's account.
Naylor's care team at Dana-Farber declined numerous requests for comment.
After Naylor's Lazarus-like recovery, she met a neighbor facing lymphoma and receiving treatment from the same medical team at Dana-Farber. The team had not referred her to a clinical trial either. Naylor encouraged her neighbor to look for a trial at the NIH, and the she later enrolled in one, Naylor said.
There is no clear bad guy in this story. But with blame spread around, a simple solution will also be hard to find. The challenges will only grow in the coming years as both patients and their cancers are divided into more specific categories based on their genetic traits. Each new potential treatment will have to pass muster in a series of clinical trials.
Still, some efforts have successfully brought together patients, advocacy groups, community doctors, government agencies, and leading researchers to expand patients' access to cutting-edge treatments. Healthline will explore those trends in upcoming investigative articles.

This hotel is a fraud,never stayed at this hotel, I was charged for this room at the time of booking and when I reached there I was told that all rooms are filled. I have been denied refund as well.
The location of this hotel was in a pretty village about 40 minutes from the leaning tower of Pisa. The hotel was a shuttle bus, 2 trains and a 15 minute walk away from the airport which was quite inconvenient at 10:30PM. The service at the hotel was atrocious, the staff were unable to speak English which was extremely unhelpful when discussing certain details. The hotel room itself was fairly clean, but the beds were quite uncomfortable. The towels - if that's what they were - were made from a very odd fabric. The air conditioning did not work so it was a very uncomfortable night. The breakfast was limited and miniature. An extremely unpleasant stay in such a beautiful country.
Ideal location to local town and Pisa, Lucca etc. stall attentive to all needs

Five Favourite Fall Bulbs
- How to buy and plant Tulip bulbs for spring bloom.
Hi Gardening Friends How to buy and plant Tulip Bulbs for next spring bloom. First of all you need to fine some sources to buy Tulip bulbs. So if you need some great places to buy Tulip bulbs. Here is some...
five favourite fall bulbs
Bulbs bring brilliant colour to the garden and are often the first sign that winter has truly ended and spring has indeed sprung.
I suggest that no matter what you gardening preference is, flowers, vegetables, herbs, you consider adding a few bulbs at least to your garden. The joy and yes, relief they bring, when they first peek up from the cold ground is worth it.
Remember right plant right place will help you grow beautiful flowers. Most spring flowering bulbs will need a high organic, well drained, slightly acidic (pH 6-7) soil in a sunny location (6 to 8 hours of sunlight.)
When it come to planting bulbs there is a second rule in addition to the right plant, right place rule and that is to plant bulbs root side down. If you do not you will be wondering where the bulbs are.
My five favourite fall bulbs are and this is in no order of preference; daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinths and snowdrops or Galanthus. There are many, many more to choose from and you will be readily able to find something to suit your garden.
The daffodil is one of my wife's favourite flowers and so it is no surprise that it is an important part of our garden.
Daffodils are easy to grow and require little maintenance. They come in many different shapes and colours that, with careful selection of varieties, can bloom for four months a year.
The best site for daffodils is a well-drained, sunny place, for example, hillsides and raised beds are best. Daffodils need good drainage slightly acidic soil is best.
Be sure to plant your daffodils so that their top (pointed end) is at least two times as deep as the bulb is high (top of a 2" bulb is 4" deep). Remember pointed end up and you will be fine.
The scientific name of the daffodil is derived from the Greek god Narcissus, who looked into a pool, saw his reflection and fell in love with himself.
The Romans brought the daffodil to Britain. The Romans believed the sap from daffodils had healing powers. In fact, the sap contains crystals that can irritate the skin.
Snowdrops or as they are more formally called Galanthus are hardy bulbs, originally from Europe and Asia Minor. The white flowers appear in early spring but may show up in mid to late winter; this makes them the earliest flowering bulb. In the south they may bloom from late fall through winter.
Plant the bulbs 3-4 inches deep in early autumn in fertile soil. They will do well in either shade or sun and work great as an edging plant or in rock gardens.
Snowdrops and crocuses are ideal bulbs for naturalizing your lawn and this is a great way to reduce the time and energy you spend cutting it. Plus it will break the boredom of the all green expanse that sits out front of far too many homes.
Crocuses are also early peepers and they bring their cheerful yellow and purple into the early spring scene. On our spring walks, they are one of the signs that I seek out. Their appearance inspires me and lets me know that growing season is near.
Plant crocuses near your house and let them benefit from the extra heat. They will help thaw the winter cold that often creeps inside our bones.
Daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinths and snowdrops are five favourite fall bulbs that reward you season after season.
