Look no more! The villa is not only beautiful but it is above the norm. The whole apartment has been completely renovated recently, offering bright freshly painted rooms, full of light and provencal features. We can offer you not only excellent comfort, security and privacy, but can share our lovely gardens and terraces which are covered with ancient, gnarled olive trees, mediterranean flowers and orange and lemon trees. Personally, you would have access to a beautiful private garden with uninterrupted fabulous views down the river valley to the sea. In the winter months you can access a sparkling heated pool under a blue sky. It is heated between 1 April and 1st June and between 20th September and the end of October. Temperatures are so good in this part of France all year round that you can dine out at midday under a warm sun with light clothing. We look forward to welcoming you into our little bit of paradise which has been ours for 26 years since leaving the cold, damp weather in England. To summarise: \* The apartment is in fact, half of the villa and there are no other units for rental on the property. It is completely private. \* Spacious architect designed apartment of 100m2 facing south and all rooms on one level \* it is the east wing of the stone built villa facing east and south. \* private balconies face south, overlooking the Var Valley and its winding river, to the sea \* air conditioned main bedroom with top quality new mattresses and bedding. Colonial fans elsewhere. All principal rooms are air conditioned. French windows open onto a private balcony overlooking the hills, river and the sea beyond. \* Luxury Egyptian cotton linen and towels including pool towels. Fluffy bathrobes and free toiletries.

Large bar, fridge and BBQ with chimney.

The apartment is on a lower level than the principal entrance to the villa, as the land is terraced, but with only 11 natural stone steps for easy access to your private terrace and entrance to the apartment. There is a secure handrail to help you. \* designed for the discerning traveller seeking more than simply a holiday home. it was created for peace and comfort; a place of serenity to relax and savour the beauty of its surroundings to escape the frantic pace on the seafront in the summer months. Also, you are central for all touring either in the mountains or on the coastline. That is why we chose to live here. All major towns on the Cote d’Azur are nearby offering many choices of great restaurants, and not all are hugely expensive, especially in the surrounding villages nestling in the Alpes. We can advise you. For art lovers, you are spoilt for choice. Many of the most famous artists such as Renoir, Matisse, Chagall, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Cezanne, spent time here in our part of France. You will see their work everywhere and recognise the scenes they painted. Also, renowned walking trails cross through Gattieres such as the GR51. Cyclists would love the routes frequented by many French clubs. The famous Iron Man even passes by our doorstep! Also the Tour de France. The scenery is really spectacular. \* Children, babies, young or old will find everything here at Le Contadour. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing all this with you.
