The property takes up one of the estate’s highest plots. From here, it offers a spectacular view: from some spots, you can even see the Mediterranean sea in the distance. Moreover, the plot lies at the edge of the estate, advantageously positioned beside the forest that surrounds the latter.

You enter the property via a driveway lined with vegetation. Two car ports stand beside this driveway. The house’s rear elevation then comes into view. This side of the dwelling includes the main entrance and a scullery entry. Two vast terraces extend on the house’s other side, facing south. One terrace is for meals and guests and leads down to a swimming pool at a lower level. The other terrace runs alongside the bedrooms. The garden is terraced with two dry-stone retaining walls and embellished with an abundance of plants. Tall, old trees tower among flowerbeds and clusters of lush shrubs. At the back, beside the forest, there is a pétanque court and a timber hut.

The villa was built in the 1970s. It is rectangular and south-facing. It seamlessly links the rooms to the garden, which extends around the dwelling. The reception rooms and bedrooms connect to the terraces outside. The wing of bedrooms is edged with a small terrace of tomette tiles that leads into the garden and takes you round to the main terrace too. At the back of the house, the other rooms include several bathrooms and a kitchen with a remarkably spacious pantry that you can enter from the driveway.

Traditional high-quality construction characterises this house. From the lounge, you can see exposed beams of the timber roof frame that crowns the villa. Local tiles cover the roof with respect for the typical Provençal style of single-storey villas in the region, yet a feature that makes this particular dwelling stand out is a protruding section upstairs that houses a special bedroom with its own bathroom and an office. The house’s thick walls are punctuated with broad picture windows on its south side.

The villa

The garden level
You enter the building from the back. A hallway connects to a vast lounge with extensive timber bookshelves running across one wall. On the opposite wall there is a broad brick fireplace with a tall hood. At the back, a kitchen lies behind a dining room. There is a spacious pantry in line with it. This whole series of spaces leads out onto the main terrace on the south side. This terrace is paved with limestone squares. A large part of the terrace is sheltered and has been turned into a true living space with an in-built barbecue. On another side of the house, a corridor runs along the wing of bedrooms, connecting to the bedrooms on the south side and their bathrooms on the north side. Each bedroom leads out through a glazed door onto a cosy terrace that edges this wing and is hidden behind vegetation.

The upstairs
A staircase with steps adorned with tomette tiles and timber nosing leads up to a bedroom that is separate from the rest of the villa. From this higher level, the bedroom enjoys an unrivalled view of the garden, hills and sea. It has its own bathroom and an office fitted with timber storage units and a large window that follows the roof’s slope. Like on the ground floor, the floors on this level are tiled, except in the office, which has sprung wood flooring.

The basement
The basement has a comfortable ceiling height. It is designed to host guests. You can reach this basement either from the ground floor via a flight of stairs or directly from the garden via a door. Several tiled rooms lie in this basement: a guest bedroom, a games room, a utility room, a wine cellar and a technical installations room.
