Wonderful to roll up the track, olive and pine trees all around, to this beautifully renovated old pale stone, blue-shuttered house and to know that it’s yours for a week or two. There’s plenty of space to relax outside in the terraced gardens, or by the pool, under the wisteria-covered pergola or on the paved terrace with its hill country views to Seillans village – magical when lit-up at night. Inside is delightful too: cosy and light with whitewashed walls, original beams and ceramic tiles. Pleasing touches everywhere: carved niches, antiques and brocante finds, and contemporary splashes. The living space has a good, characterful kitchen, wooden cabinets, a wood-burning stove; well-filled bookshelves and dressers line the walls around the dining table and through an archway is a snug sitting room. On the first floor are two rustic smart bedrooms; on up a narrow spiral stair is the low-slung attic room. And a new fourth bedroom in the annexe has a large door onto its own little garden patio. All the bathrooms are elegant and bright. Provence to explore, vineyards and village restaurants to visit – how lovely.
This is the perfect holiday house. The property has been renovated to a very high standard and the garden and pool area are blessed with beautiful scenic views. We really enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it. For our part we intend to return sooner rather than later!
