Perched amidst the quaint Provencian villages between the scenic Southern Alps and the glamourous French Riviera, you'll get the best of both worlds with a stay at this upscale residence. The secluded setting guarantees a French countryside experience, with local farmers markets and the charming village lifestyle. While back at home, you'll have your own haven of peace among the luscious grounds surrounded by gardens and Mediterranian vegetation. From the huge private swimming pool to the extravagant tennis and pétanque courts – you'll find plenty to do without ever needing to step foot out of the front door. Make the most of the glorious sunshine over the spring and summer months here, by spending most of your time around the covered outdoor living area. With an enormous dining table, barbecue kitchen, outdoor lounge and more than enough day beds, the garden is an idyllic place to get those ever-craved moments of relaxation. The inside living area offers an equally sociable space with an open-plan layout, perfect for group cooking sessions around the private island or for hosting formal dinners at the dining area. If you'd rather go out to try the local cuisine, the world is your oyster (quite literally)... as the seafood in this part of France is delectable. Visit the local villages of Tourettes, Seillan, Taneron, Bagnols-en-Forêt, Callian, Mons, Montauroux or Saint-Paul-en-Forê – all reachable within a thirty-minute drive. Not to mention the shopping hotspots of the French Riviera including Fréjus and Cannes are also accessible in less than a one hour's drive.
