Opio Cottage is a gorgeous Provencal retreat, nestled within the hills and olive groves of the countryside just outside the pretty village of Callian. Sleeping up to six guests, Opio Cottage has been lovingly restored, blending rustic charm with modern luxuries to produce the perfect stay. Surrounded by luscious greenery, the cottage is tucked away, an idyllic corner of privacy in which you can enjoy your family holiday!
Walking into the cottage, the living space is completely open plan. The kitchen is the heart of the home, modern and naturally lit by large windows on all sides. A wooden dining table sits next to the island, surrounded by matching chairs. Wicker baskets hang above the table whilst the art brings some warmth, depth and vivacity to this gorgeous, modern interior. On the other side of the dining table and kitchen sits a lounge area. Sumptuous sofas are ready for you to sink into, centred around a coffee table and traditional wood burner.
Doors will take you out to the terrace of the cottage. Traditional shutters frame the windows, and a terracotta rooftop sits above whitewashed walls. Sunbeds sit to one side, while patio furniture sits tucked in a corner, perfect to soak up the sun and enjoy your morning coffee.
The cottage is set within the grounds of Villa Opio, which remains unoccupied during your stay if booking Opio Cottage by itself. Therefore, you have exclusive use of the swimming pool (which can be heated on request) as well as the pizza oven and alfresco dining area, a fantastic way to enjoy an evening meal together as the sun sets. You’ll also appreciate your own private landscaped gardens, bursting with colourful flower beds and olive trees. There really isn’t a peaceful place quite like this, as bees buzz gently through the plants and you soak up the refreshing summer air.
Back inside the cottage there are two bedrooms, both of which are light and spacious with homely touches. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed, overlooking the outdoor dining area and plenty of storage for you to unpack and make the most of your holiday. The second bedroom has two sets of bunk beds, perfect for families. You will also find a family bathroom with a shower and sink.
- Opio Cottage sleeps up to 6 guests across one double bedroom and a children's bedroom with two sets of bunkbeds (also suitable for adults with a maximum height of 6ft5").
- The cottage is set within the grounds of Villa Opio (8 guests). However, when booking the cottage alone, the villa will not be rented out and you therefore have exclusive use of the swimming pool, al-fresco dining facilities and landscaped gardens.
- The cottage is not available to book by itself from June to August - during this time, only Villa Opio (14 guests including the cottage) can be requested.
- Maid service/extra cleaning
- Private chef/cook/catering
- Welcome hamper/pre-stocked fridge

Please note that all extras are subject to availability and must be requested in advance of the holiday (prices on request). Due to some rural/remote locations, not all services will be available at all properties. However, we will always do our best to fulfil your requests!
