Picturesque Villa 3 Bedroom Villa with Private Pool and French Riviera Beaches from VILLAWAY®

This is the type of place that guests return to year after year. There’s no surprise with its stunning views, welcoming ambience, glorious swimming pool and hillside setting within walking distance to a beautiful medieval village. All of this and you are only 30-minutes from the French Riviera.  This fine villa is a fantastic holiday home for so many reasons. Inside, the interiors are incredibly attractive with a charming country kitchen, elegant dining area and cosy lounge, all with doors leading to a perfect terrace with tremendous views. Upstairs you’ll find three comfy bedrooms with high quality linen and across the home there are three smart bathrooms, one of them en suite. The owners have thought of everything with homely touches such as Satellite TV with UK channels, children’s games and Wi-Fi throughout, alongside high-quality furnishings and pretty décor. In a private setting, this is a fantastic home for all ages! After wandering down to the local boulangerie in the morning, enjoy breakfast on the kitchen terrace looking out to the surrounding countryside. Steps lead up to the swimming pool on the upper level where you can gaze out towards the village’s medieval castle and admire the magnificent valley views as you laze in the sun, making the most of the villa’s south-facing position. As the evening approaches, relax on the upper terrace with an aperitif and watch the sun set for the day. Discover some of the lovely restaurants in the village, reached in under a ten-minute walk (via country lanes) if you don’t mind the hilly walk back! It’s one of the Pays de Fayence’s nine perched villages; others include Montauroux, Fayence and beautiful Seillans where you can enjoy excellent restaurants, visit atmospheric markets and admire the spectacular scenery of this incredible region. Walk along the shores of the stunning Lac de Saint-Cassien, a short drive away, or partake in summer watersports, horse-riding and mountain biking. Hike through the oak and pine forests so near, splash in the gorges of the Siagne river and play golf in one of the many golf courses across the French Riviera, including the prestigious Terre Blanche Golf Resort just a ten-minute drive away. The beaches of the Côte d'Azur are just a 30-minute drive away with Cannes, Antibes and Nice ideal for coastal days out or head further inland to the Verdon Gorge, one of France’s most spectacular natural sights. This said, as so many guests declare, once you’re relaxing by the swimming pool at this villa, it becomes hard to venture too far with such wonderful views around you.

LOCATION DETAILS
This villa is set in a wonderful hillside position just a short walk down the country lanes from one of the delightful perched villages of the Var department in southern France, just half an hour from the French Riviera. It’s less than a ten-minute walk down the hill to the village (very much uphill on the way back!) or if you’re not so keen on the hilly surroundings then pop in the car and be there in a couple of minutes. This charming village with its medieval castle is perfect for picking up fresh croissants and bread in the morning or simply wandering down to one of the many restaurants in the evening. There’s also good choice of large supermarkets a short drive away. This village is one of the nine perched villages of the Pays de Fayence; others include Montauroux with its Tuesday morning market and artisan craft studios, Fayence with its lovely restaurants, cafes and twice-weekly Farmer’s market and idyllic Seillans, classified as one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’. You can even follow the winding roads up to Mons, one of the highest villages in the Var department with incredible mountain and distant sea views. Lac de Saint-Cassien (10km), around a 15-minute drive away, is a perfect spot for long hikes, horse-riding, picnics on lakeside beaches and summer watersports with canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards as well as fishing. Those seeking other natural landscapes for outdoor activities should escape to the oak and pine forests covering so much of this area. Discover little gorges, waterfalls and stone bridges along the Siagne river as well as great cycling trails, bird-spotting opportunities and rock-climbing. Further afield, spend the day canoeing, white-water rafting or just admiring the amazing vistas when visiting the Verdon Gorge. You are also close to the Mediterranean sea – visit some of the Cote D’Azur hot-spots such as Cannes (40km), Antibes (50km) and Nice (58km) or drive to some of the brilliant beaches near Théoule-sur-Mer (35km) or Saint-Raphaël (35km). Boat excursions depart Cannes as far as Saint-Tropez, Villefranche-sur-Mer or Villefranche-sur-Mer or take a ferry to the beautiful Île Sainte-Marguerite. Golf lovers have the prestigious Terre Blanche Golf Resort just a ten-minute drive away (as well as many other golf courses across the French Riviera), there are tennis courts in the local village and the famous flying school in Fayence is also close by where you can book flight-excursions, a unique way to view the magnificent scenery of this region!
