Outside Details

South of France Holiday Home with Large Garden and Pool

With 3000m2 of fully fenced garden laid over 2 sloping terraces there is plenty of space to relax and chill out. The top terrace has mature shady trees, to which 3 hammocks are attached and Balinese statue of a Buddha all the way from Bali which gives the area a very benign and kind presence.

A path leads down the slope to the gated pool terrace area and further down to a Mediterranean grassy terrain (not an English lawn!) with a few olive trees and a shallow pond growing papyrus. Plenty of space for a game of football or badminton! Table tennis table too.

The pool area, fenced and gated, is completely private and is located on the second terrace below the house, behind a high wall. Not overlooked from above or below, it is a haven of peace, with views over the surrounding countryside covered with vineyards. The large pool terrace has 2 sunny areas for sunbathing and a sun shelter area with marble café tables and day beds with mattresses and canvas cushions - the perfect spot for a siesta! There are a further sun loungers by the pool and large outside beanbags.

Another covered terrace, approx 60m2, makes up the chill out area, with a bar, bar stools, large fridge, sink, Balinese style shower, an outside sitting room with a day bed, comfortable lounge chairs and a coffee table – an ideal space for relaxing by the pool - everything at your fingertips without having to go up to the house. A great area too for yoga or morning exercise, especially since this area is so private. The owner has tried to make this area magical in the evening with Moroccan lights, and vast demi-John glass jars with solar lights. 

The large walk in inside-outside Balinese Shower room, has a full walk-in hot water shower, a wc and clothes hooks so the space can be used as a changing room too.

The 10m x 5m x 1.2-1.7m tiled pool (maintained weekly) is fenced, gated, has Roman steps for easy access and an alarm.  

At the bottom of the garden are gates leading to a small narrow road. 

Parking for 2 cars within the property grounds.

Client Comments

The Bastide was exactly what we all needed after the last two and a half years.  Spacious, very well appointed and with a beautiful garden and pool.  My wife and I seldom do quiet holidays, we're more inclined to explore, visit and generally get out and about, but not this time, and the house and the village it sits in were perfect for this - a lovely unspoiled little place.  True there's not much there, but that was just fine, a Tabac, cafe and restaurant were all that was needed. The house had so much space to stretch and breathe, despite there being seven of us.  It was never crowded, never busy, no falling over each other, it was the perfect spot just to be. The greatest compliment, is that it only took about 36 hours before one of our party suggested we should get it booked for next year! I would have no hesitation in coming back and I'll happily recommend the property to anyone looking for a truly relaxing break in beautiful surroundings. Your service was exceptional, and for that we are all deeply grateful. From the Guest Housebook, June 2022
We have had a great time in this wonderful house with fantastic views of the countryside. The house has lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and also a large kitchen/living area, which makes it suitable for a large group. But since it is also very cosy, it is also very suitable for a smaller group or a couple. It has all amenities, like good kitchen, terrace with BBQ, swimming pool, garden, pool table, tv etc for a relaxing holiday. The house is surrounded by vineyards, but also the sea, the Causes and even the Pyrenees are not that far away, so an excellent location to explore the Languedoc (either by car or by bicycle). From the Guestbook, Summer 2021.
Excellent Stay! We were very happy with the house, pool and fabulous view. The owner is very welcoming and available if needed. I would recommend it to future travellers without hesitation. Thank you for our wonderful stay!From the Guestbook, August 2020.
A wonderful holiday with friends.  The house is large, with plenty of space to have a good time, or to find that moment of peace.  We will be back!From the Guestbook, August 2020.
The house is fully kitted out with anything you might need for a relaxing holiday. The house is gorgeous both inside and out, the interiors are so homely and welcoming and the garden and view are both spacious and private. The pool/ bar area are an added luxury which make you feel spoilt, but you still feel within the landscape. All the nearby villages are beautiful and lovely places to explore and the beach is only half an hour away. This is a perfect spot for a quiet holiday but with many things to do nearby and the house is such a treat- I can honestly say this is one of my favourite holiday rentals. You can really feel the love put into this house in the little details which made it feel like home. We loved it so much and want to come back again and again. Sept 2019, N. Barnes
