Les Magnolias

On the edge of the medieval village of Seillans, Les Magnolias offers an easy Provençal charm and sweeping views of the French Riviera hinterland. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac, this well-kept villa invites a slower pace of life, where mornings begin on the terrace with breakfast and end on a characterful restaurant terrace just a short walk away.

Inside, the house is thoughtfully arranged for simple French living. The open-plan layout brings together a bright kitchen, sitting area and dining space, leading directly to the elevated terrace that looks out across the valley. It's the kind of view that never quite leaves you, whether you're sipping a chilled rosé or watching the light change as the day unfolds. All three bedrooms are air-conditioned for comfort on warmer nights, and with two bathrooms, the space works well for families or small groups of friends.

Outside, a sun deck surrounds the 9-metre swimming pool, creating a relaxed setting for lazy afternoons. Table tennis and a poolside bathroom mean everything you need is close to hand.

Seillans, officially one of France’s prettiest villages, is less than 10 minutes away on foot. Here you’ll find stone-paved lanes, leafy squares and a handful of excellent restaurants and cafés. For days out, Lac de Saint-Cassien offers watersports and lakeside picnics, while the Riviera’s golden beaches are just a 45-minute drive away. Gliding in Fayence, hiking through the hills, golf at Terre Blanche or spa days nearby all make it easy to mix adventure with indulgence.

Perfect for guests seeking an authentic yet comfortable base, Les Magnolias captures the essence of relaxed living with just the right touch of ease and traditional style.
