The rich history and beauty of the Cote d'azur, Provence has been recorded for centuries by the writers and artists who have made 'The Riviera' their homes, many of these stunning houses and gardens, are now open to the public and make an enjoyable day out for all the family. Many celebrities and royalty still live in the region today due to its accessibility to Europe and the rest of the world, its great climate and its evident 'joie de vivre'.

We are situated midway (25minutes to each) between' tres-chic' Cannes with its world famous film festival, and its more cultural and bohemian sister Nice with its roman history, opera and ballet. We are 45minutes from Monaco and 1 hour from Italy. The property nestles peacefully in the hills, amongst the forests and ancient hill villages of the meditteranean.

Provencal culture and traditions still exist in this area with many of the local population still reliant on their income from grapes, flowers or olives. The local markets are a delight to shop in, you will taste, touch and smell the produce, which is of the highest quality, for food is taken very seriously here. There are festivals throughout the year to celebrate truffles, lemons, olives and mimosa which all grow locally.

The property has been tastefully and comfortably furnished with many antiques and furniture from around the world, and is large enough to find privacy even when in a large group .It has a relaxed atmosphere which is great for groups of friends, business colleagues or families. Staff can be provided by arrangement, including maid, cleaner, cook, chauffeur, nanny, secretary and bodyguard. All the comfortable guest rooms have their own bathrooms and direct access to the gardens and/or terraces. Large beautiful landscaped gardens offer magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and plenty of quiet corners. This is the perfect location to experience all the region has to offer, in addition to appreciating the magnificent landscapes which drape the elegant shoulders of the famous Cote d'azur.

There are also many sporting and cultural events which take place along
the coast. See our Other Activities page for details.

"I had a truly wonderful holiday, staying on for a further few days on a B&B basis because I could not drag myself away. The bastide and acommodation are wonderful, Mac and Laura were such warm and friendly hosts. The location was sensational and I will never forget the balmy evenings sitting round the dinner table on the terrace and watching a carpet of fire flies drift across the garden. I'll definitely be paying another visit."

Janet Johnson, 2004
