This bright, south facing villa revels in the best of both worlds, having the peace and quiet of a beautiful hillside location as well as easy access to town and coast a couple of kilometres away.

Inside the living space is bright and contemporary with light flooding through the sliding doors that lead straight to a wonderful covered terrace and swimming pool plus a spacious open-plan kitchen ideal for preparing a Provençal feast. Two of the four pretty bedrooms also have the luxury of French doors leading straight out to the heated pool.
