Home description
Haitchtoya is a lovely Provençal mas of ca.100 years old set up high with panoramic views of the distant Esterel and on a clear day a sea view, albeit some 10 kms away. The house is at the end of a grass track just off the nearest road, therefore both private and quiet but within easy walking distance of the pretty village of Plascassier.
The house is fully equipped and stylishly furnished to comfortably accommodate six to eight persons. Nice is a 25 minute drive away. There are many beautiful golf courses within easy striking distance - generally there is so much to see and do in the region. Skiing is also possible at several ski resorts (in France and Italy) within a 45 to 90 mins drive away. Sailing courses can also be arranged at Antibes.
For those interested in improving their language or culinary skills - private French tuition and courses in French French cuisine can be arranged. Of further interest, there are many excellent, renowned restaurants close by Lou Fassam, Plascassier 1 Michelin Star, Le Moulin de Mougins, Le Mas Candille and many others... all price ranges covered.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
Cannes, originally a small fishing village – now of international acclaim with amongst other annual events, the ‘Cannes Film Festival’ – it is around a 20-30 minute drive away, depending on traffic.

Other places to visit that immediately spring to mind are of course Nice, especially the charming vieux Nice, the very pretty port of Villefranche just beyond Nice. Monaco and of course Italy is within around one hour’s drive from the Mas. St Tropez and its very pretty surrounding villages and towns of Gassin and Ramatuelle is also within a one to two hour drive, depending on volume of traffic.

An Auberge, where regional home-cooked delights are served, is also very close. The Alpes Maritimes is a wonderfully diverse region with so much to offer in terms of leisure activities and places of interest.
A wonderful beach life in the summer with skiing in the nearby mountains in the Winter and early Spring. There are numerous picturesque medieval, Provençal hilltop villages to visit Plascassier, Mougins, Valbonne, St Paul de Vence, Biot all have many restaurants, bars and art galleries and/or potteries, the list is endless.
