The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region

Callas is located in the hills approx 22 miles north of the coast at Ste Maxime/Frejus. Beautiful fortified villages, castles and chapels in the area add interest to walks and the stunning scenery and delightful country restaurants offer an incentive for county walks or drives. There is plenty of scope for outside family activity, including water sports at the coast or Lac Ste Croix (windsurfing kit can be rented at the coast), cycling, tennis (4 Km away), golf etc.

45 minutes drive take you to the coast at St Raphael, Frejus or Ste Maxime or, to the north, the stunning Grande Canyon du Verdon and the Lac du Ste Croix with mountains and cool walks beyond.

Callas area

Situated in the hills at about 400 metres facing down to the coast 30 kilometres away, Callas retains a truly French way of village life, still preserving its own shaded village square, traditions and infrastructure including weekly market (Tuesdays and Saturdays), boulangerie, boucherie, tabac, La poste (with cash dispenser), mini market and restaurants - all withing 250 meters of the villa. There is an active olive oil mill in the village as well as a good Cave. Miles of walks start from the villa.

Those who wish, need go no further than the village for their daily needs. There are many other villages nearby, including the fortified village of Bargemon 6km away, offering a variety of restaurants, views, history, arts and crafts and peaceful walks.

Wine Tasting: The many Domaines nearby offer tastings of their wines for sale.

Roman sites: Frejus has some fascintating Roman ruins which are well worth a visit, and the local tourist office can provide more information on all the local cultural sites: Tel:+33 (0)494 76 61 07; Fax: +33 (0)4 94 47 83 29
