Overview
Villa Aspis is located close to the hilltop village of Carcès in the Var region, which is part of the beautiful French Riviera. This villa is the perfect base for exploring nearby villages, hiking trails, waterfalls and lakes.
The villa is modern yet comfortable, and with four bedrooms, it is ideal for a holiday with either friends or family. Downstairs, the open-plan living and dining room is the heart of the home and opens out onto the fully-fitted kitchen. This space is excellent for sociable mealtimes.
To enjoy the temperate climate, you are sure to want to spend plenty of time outdoors, and the garden here is a fantastic place to unwind. Spend a lazy day lounging by the private pool before cooking up a tasty feast on the barbecue. The covered dining terrace is a lovely spot for a special meal as the sun goes down.
The closest village to the house is Carcès, a mere 2.5km away! The village is a charming historic settlement built around a medieval castle on a hill. Villa Aspis is great spot for a group wishing to explore the local region.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AspisLocated between the beaches of the French Riviera and Provence, the Var is a diverse, picturesque region filled with authentic villages and natural attractions. This is an idyllic place to stay to explore the coast and the many hilltop villages in the area.
Carcès is a pretty village at an altitude of 130m. The cobbled lanes and tile-covered houses wind their way up the hillside, surrounding the medieval castle which once protected the citizens during historical battles. At just 2.5km away from the villa, this serene village is a beautiful place to have so close. Whether you need to visit the shops to pick up groceries or you would like to spend the afternoon wandering the atmospheric streets, there is plenty to see and do in Carcès. The tree-lined squares, dotted with fountains, make for a lovely dining spot.
The landscape around the villa is filled with gorgeous places to visit, such as forested areas, lakes, waterfalls and hiking routes. The closest lake Sainte Suzanne and the adjacent waterfalls are only 5km away from the house and are a fantastic place to spend the day. If you would like to travel further afield for the day, you could visit the beaches of the vast Lac de Sainte Croix, which is 54km away. There are lots of water sports on offer at the lake, such as surfing and kayaking, but there are also lots of quiet sandy beaches to sunbathe with a good book.
As well as stunning natural attractions, The Var has countless quaint villages you can visit. One of the closest is Cotignac which is 10km away. Cotignac is a picture-postcard French village built into cliffs filled with caves. A pair of medieval towers sit overlooking the village, and around these, there are pastel-coloured homes, shops and floral displays. Another nearby town is Brignoles which is a 20km drive away. The town was built in the early Middle Ages, and the buildings and architectural details from this period can be seen as you walk around.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith many charming towns to wander around, vast lakes to explore and a sweeping coastline to visit, the French Riviera is ideal for a family trip.
There is lots to see and do with kids in this part of France, and under an hour away, the town of Fréjus is a great place to visit. Drive 60km to the coast to discover this busy port town.

It feels like home!
It feels like home! You'll find everything you need for an excellent vacation. The villa is magnificent, tastefully decorated! We stayed in a lot of villas during our vacation, and I'd say that this was one of the ones we really appreciated because it felt so good! The air-conditioning is a real plus given the temperatures we had during our 2 weeks. We'll be back for sure, especially as we love coming to the Var. Merci!

Beautiful spacious villa
Beautiful spacious villa just outside Carcès, very clean and well equipped. All rooms air-conditioned. The outside terrace offers plenty of space for dining and is well equipped with a gas barbecue and plancha. The pool is large enough and in good condition. The bakery and supermarket, both with plenty of choice, can be reached by car in 5 minutes. All in all a successful vacation home. Thanks to France for the nice welcome!
