In the style of a classic ‘Bastide Aixoise’, this villa dates back to the 18th century and retains much of its old-world charm. Admire the unique tiles on the eastern side of the home which traditionally protected it from the wind in cooler months. Elsewhere, admire original fireplaces and floor tiling alongside traditional stone doorways, all adding to the historic ambience of this handsome abode.
La Bastide de Laura is a fine residence for a family or group of friends, sleeping up to 14 guests across its seven bedrooms, two of which are en suite. Downstairs the open plan living and dining space leads to the modern kitchen whilst characterfully arched windows look out towards the covered terrace. Outside, sit back on the terrace with a good book or stroll around the front of the house to look over towering pines - you may even catch a glimpse of Mont Coudon in the distance.
Set in a hectare of grounds, you are ideally positioned with the sea in one direction and the road connecting Toulon to Carqueiranne in the other. A 700m walk partially via steps will take you down to the nearest bay where you will be rewarded with a summer beachside restaurant. There’s a slightly longer bay further along, reached via a woodland hiking path, whilst the sandy shores of Toulon’s Plages du Mourillon are just over a 10-minute drive away.
- You will need to be able to manage steps and paths to reach the nearest beaches within walking distance.
