Home description
Our villa offers accommodation for 2 families or spacious luxury for one and lies at the end of a single track road winding through vineyards from the village of La Mole. A local bakery, small supermarket and 3 excellent restaurants can be found there and in the nearby town of Cogolin you can taste the local delights on market days.
For those who enjoy walking the possibilities are infinite; follow the tracks created by wildlife through the forest or the footpath across the stream from the garden to the dam and around the lake/reservoir. If lounging by the pool or under the shade of the covered terracota terraces seems too peaceful you can head for the famous beaches of the Cote d' Azur and the popular chic town of St Tropez.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region
The Cote d'Azur is the most famous coastal area of France and the place to head for your vacations. You are pretty much guaranteed sunshine although at times there can be a strong wind (mistral). Being slightly off the beaten track but still close enough to reach the major attractions means you will be able to enjoy the excitement of St Tropez and the beaches, while at the same time knowing that when you get back to our home you will enjoy the tranquility you deserve.
St. Tropez is famous for its beaches (there are at least 40 on the peninsula) although we would recommend the 11km hop over the mountains which is easy and avoids any summer traffic.
Be sure to visit the Place des Lices where movie stars and local stars get together to play a game of boules or sip Pastis under the plane trees, or sit in one of the quayside cafes and just watch the people or the mega-yachts lined up in the port rivaling to see which is the biggest. You may even spot one or two celebrities!
If funfairs are your "thing" then there is a huge LunaPark fair between Cogolin and St Tropez which operates through the summer months and has rides for all. Other activities nearby (Cogolin) include Karting, mini-Golf and grown-up golf, horse riding, and sailing, and if you venture on to St Maxime there is a large Aqua Park with a variety of exciting rides.
St Tropez / La Mole area
La Mole is two steps from the sea, in the heart of the Maures mountains . Surrounded by fabulous forests, La Mole offers several walking itineraries directly from the villa through the Maures. On the rock ot St. Madeleine, and north of the present village, you will find the ruins of the original community of La Mole.
There is an eleventh century castle with a magnificent park which unfortunately is not open to the public, but is a beautiful sight from the road. St. Exupery lived there for some time with his grandparents.
You musn't miss the picturesque route of Cretes (527m.) where there are sumptuous panoramas, or the Col du Canadel (267m.) which is the short-cut down to the nearest beaches.
A few km away, Cogolin offers several points of interest including the 14th century clock tower, a vestige of the old fortified castle which overlooks the village .
The St. Sauveur Church (early 15th c.) the St. Roch Chapel (17th and I9thc.), the vaulted passages, the houses with portals made of serpentine or volcanic rock are all witnesses of the long past of Cogolin. The Lower Village built around a cougoul (little hill) is typical with is wide airy streets with many cafes and restaurants.
The "Marines de Cogolin" is equipped with 1,500 moorings surrounded by buildings which remind one of Venice. Shops, restaurants, boutiques and various festivities enliven the quaysides.
Cogolin is well-known for its handcrafts where you can find factories for rugs, pipes, reeds for musical instruments, bamboo fencing, pottery, ceramics, and wrought iron.
Market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays, but be sure to get there early or you will find it difficult to park!
