La Colline Du Soleil
About This Villa
With incredible views as far as the Massif de l'Esterel, this wonderful holiday home is close to some of southern France’s most beautiful villages and countryside as well as being within easy reach of the glitz and glamour of the Côte d'Azur.
In a quiet setting looking over the landscapes around you, you will soon appreciate the relaxed ambience of this traditional home. Greeted with chilled rosé in the fridge on your arrival, sit back in the al-fresco lounge under the shade of the towering pine trees and listen to the birds sing as you gaze out over the vineyards and valleys.
The calming atmosphere continues inside with a welcoming lounge, a perfectly equipped kitchen, new bathrooms and five charming bedrooms scattered across the two floors. Small toys, books and games, a DVD player and a multitude of TV streaming options add to the homely appeal, whilst three Bose sound systems, Egyptian cotton bath linen and even Turkish pool towels are further examples of the owner’s caring attention to detail in this comfortable abode.
The Provençal gardens are just wonderful; explore the stone steps and rambling terraces dotted with olive trees, herbs, rosemary and lavender. You can choose to dine al-fresco on the magnificent terrace with glorious views or wander up the steps to the pool-house with its summer kitchen, pizza oven and barbecue. Spend warm summer days in the salt-water swimming pool, lazing on the sun-loungers or enjoying long poolside lunches with family and friends.
It’s just 3km to Fayence, wonderful for a morning coffee in a pretty café or evenings out in one of the many excellent restaurants. The market on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is a particularly great way to pick up all sorts of local produce or explore the village’s charming shops. Medieval Seillans is also close by, one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ with its steep, winding lanes, picturesque squares and fountains.
Head across to Lac de Saint-Cassien for wonderful walks and watersports or drive down to the French Riviera with the beaches of Cannes, Saint-Raphaël and Théoule-sur-Mer easily reached. Golf-lovers have a great choice of courses across the region and the super adventurous can book a flight excursion at Fayence’s famous gliding centre.
