Set in a little hamlet surrounded by woodland, just minutes from the beautiful Lac de Saint-Cassien, this fine family home is a wonderful place to relax in lovely surroundings.
Bastide Var offers both character and comfort with traditional features alongside modern amenities. The traditional Provençal house has wood-beamed ceilings and a grand stone fireplace in the welcoming lounge, five sensitively restored bedrooms and three modern bathrooms. The owners are experienced in knowing what guests are longing for in their holiday home and you won’t be disappointed. You’ll receive a particularly warm welcome from the house manager, a former hotelier, who can organise all sorts of services you may wish for from a chef to babysitting and much more.
One of the most striking aspects of this homely bastide is the superb summer kitchen which as been brilliantly equipped with everything you may need, including a wine-fridge, hob, barbecue and pizza oven. Feast al-fresco on warm afternoons, drinking Provençal rosé as kids play on the little swings and slide in the pretty garden, surrounded by the summer scent of lavender. The large swimming pool is a delight in the summer or you can watch on from the sun-loungers and outdoor lounge. Whether staying with family or friends, the outdoor space is an ideal rural sanctuary for all generations.
You can hire bikes just up the road where you will also find a bakery, pharmacy and a couple of places to eat. You are also perfectly positioned to drive to the nine perched villages Pays de Fayence, the nearest being just 5km away with a delightful weekly market and charming artisan craft studios. Others include medieval Callian with its flower filled lanes, picturesque Fayence with some wonderful cafes and restaurants and incredible Seillans, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’.
The surrounding region also offers walking paths through forests of oak and pine trees, discovering river gorges and all sorts of wildlife plus the magnificent Lac de Cassien, just minutes away, with its lakeside beaches, summer watersports and endless trails for hiking, biking and horse-riding.
As well as this wonderful natural scenery, you can also reach the beaches of the French Riviera within half an hour. Swim in the Mediterranean, take boat trips out to beautiful islands or soak up the glitz and glamour of the Côte d'Azur in nearby Cannes. The Var in southern France really does have it all!
