The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region

Our property is situated in the center of the Var, a region of rolling hills with terraced hillsides, lavender fields, vineyards and olives trees. We are about 40 minutes from the sandy beaches of the Cote D'Azur, and two hours from the ski slopes.

From the villa it takes twenty minutes to get to the A8 autoroute, where Aix-en-Provence, Marseilles (west) and Nice, Menton or Monaco (east) are easily accessible.

You can also join in with the life of St. Tropez which is 45 minutes by car, or you can take the ferry from St. Maxime to better view the coastline.

The climate is one of blue skies and sunshine, with hotter months being July and August, however in the Var we have a certain breeze making the temperatures more comfortable.

The Lorgues area

The village of Lorgues is flanked on both sides by two rivers where one can go fishing, and canoeing is available 5 kms away. This medieval Provencal village is divided into very pretty hamlets, where the houses are covered with wisteria and Virginia creeper, and are surrounded with an array of flowering plants. During the summer there are many festivals taking place including outdoor concerts, many museums to visit, and the famous abbaye du Thoronet dating back to 11th Century which is still used by the monks who live and work there.

The main avenue of Lorgues is very attractive, with its ancient plane trees giving plenty of shade for the colourful Tuesday market, the meeting place for all the locals to pass the time of day. There are many bars and restaurants to go to, including the internationally-famous truffle restaurant (Bruno's). In addition to all this the village boasts 12 wine chateaux plus its own wine co-operative and olive mill so you can go wine tasting to your heart's content!

There are many sports to choose from: tennis, golfing, horse-riding, kayaking and scuba diving; bicycles can also be hired from the village. If you prefer to relax, there are a number of local spas and our pool has shaded and sunny areas which offer peace and tranquility.
