Maison Whispin (villa)

Home description

Tour and shop in the picturesque 12th Century village of Fayence, only two miles away. Taste the local wines grown in vineyards only minutes from your doorway. Spend hours dining in the finest restaurants in the world --three share four Michelin stars--that ring your secluded hideaway in the South of France.
Movie – mad Cannes is only 20 minutes away. Spot the movie stars at the Cote d’Azur’s toney village of St. Tropez less than an hour away. Pack a picnic to eat on the nearby beaches of the Riviera. Leave reality behind and visit the tiny Principality of Monaco for shopping at the world’s most exclusive boutiques. Marvel at the mega yachts moored in Monte Carlo’s harbor.
Cezanne’s Aix en Provence atelier is only an hour away. The Roman Forum in Arles is close. Lunch in Avignon, the City of the Popes, and be back in Fayence by dinner time. Museums are everywhere.
Tuscany is six hours away. Leaving after breakfast, you can be in Rome for an evening stroll on the Via Venito.
Most of all, enjoy the special life style that is Provence…

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region

A warm micro-climate allows the juxtaposition of snow covered mountains, palm and flowering fruit trees. Deep gorges cut by mountain streams provide dramatic hiking and unique pic nic fun. Lakeside activities offer family-centric diversions such as paddle boating, swimming and fishing. Fayence and the other four "villages perches" since the first recorded history in the 9th Century have witnessed unprecedented history including Sarassin invasions. Yet, all this is only a short distance from the blue water of the Cote d'Azur and the pulsating night life of Cannes, Nice and St. Tropez.

Fayence area

Village market three times a week. 26 minutes from the bar at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, 56 minutes from the bar at the Negresco Hotel in Nice and 40 minutes to Chez Joseph and le Yuca Bar in St. Tropez.. Home of Europe's premier Sail Plane Club (host of the Gliding World Championships in the mid-nineties). All this among first class wineries and the full spectrum of French dining from the local bistro to your choice of any of the three Michlin-starred restaurants in the valley--they share four stars among them. Lastly, Fayence and the environs are so compelling that the Four Seasons built their exclusive Terre Blanche resort--the only Four Seasons resort in Europe in the valley they share.

How to get there

12 hours by car from London.
Easy Jet, BA and BMIBaby to Nice. All major auto rental companies on site.
Ryan Air to Marseille to name but a few budget airlines serving the area.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Hightech leisure electronics are ubiquitious but hidden. Family art treasures beg for attention. The newly opened kitchen offers highend German appliances. The study provides a sunny, place for quiet pursuits while the upper floor gymnasium caters to the fitness lover. The open fireplace in the decorator inspired lounge is a natural gathering place for party goers. Grand comfort describes the sleeping accommodations, particularly the master suite including bath, glass enclosed shower and twin sinks. A bath serves the two bedrooms in the private guest wing. Free internet access and international calling await the executive who simply must stay in touch.

Further details outdoors:
The great impressionists came for the light. You can share that on any one of Maison Whispin's dozen terraces defined by old stone walls and ancient olive trees. Find the "dragon tree" and good luck will find you. The outdoor, traditional , covered french bar-b-que will challenge the openfire chef who will be further inspired by the provencal breezes spiced with rosemary, sage and lavendar. The private path leads away from the house to the secluded pool, comfortable lounge chairs and party house with its table for eight. Let your eyes take you from any of the terraces over the valley 1000 feet below you to the horizon, just beyond which lies the Cote d' Azur. Look through the fig tree growing in the rock to sights of the village of Fayence and more.

Further details

A welcome pack will be provided before your visit as well as helpful hints meant to enhance your visit. The owners take a personal role in assuring that every experience leads you to return.

Guestbook

1) Thank you for sharing Maison Whispin with us. It is a spectacular home. Now we know where the name comes from, that special sound from the wind in the trees. Please book us again for next July. More later...Jeb and Lexi
2) Even though we came for the Provencal markets and Avignon, we never left the property. The pool terrace is a one of kind experience that we enjoyed over and over---if you get my meaning. Lynn and Greg
3) Even sitting next to Kieth Richards at the Colomb D'Or in St. Paul du Vence wasn't as great as the Maison Whispin experience. Though that was pretty cool. Thank you, Thank you...David and Cheryl Ann
4) Imagine, sitting on your terrace and looking DOWN on a 1 Star Michelin Restaurant and the next night eating there and looking up at the house. We did...Bill and Susan
5) Wonderful home and superb views. Please get a proper tea kettle. The Thompsons and Mum
