Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
For those in search of the effortless ease of French living, this home delivers the perfect solution – a traditional Provençal home filled with charm and character. Welcomed by your villa manager (a former hotelier), you’ll find every detail has been considered to enrich your stay with meaningful moments. From delicious meals prepared by a private chef (available on request) to local trips and tours, your days here can be as laid-back or as adventurous as your heart desires. Just a short drive from Lac de Saint-Cassien, this is the perfect setting for leisurely cycle rides, scenic drives through fields of lavender and sightseeing your way across the villages of Pays de Fayences. You’ll also find the beaches of the Côte d'Azur are just a thirty-minute drive away. By sunset, the garden welcomes you to enjoy the evening light with refreshing drinks in hand – served straight from the outdoor kitchen (which also includes a pizza oven and wine fridge). And for cooler nights, the living room provides the perfect opportunity to get cosy around the grand stone fireplace.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver

Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways.
