Accessibility
The house is at the top of a relatively steep road. There is a very pleasant but quite a steep walk to Tourettes and Fayence but we would recommend a car.
Outside
In the summer we hope you’ll spend most of your time outside. The pool is a major feature of the house, sharing spectacular views of the valley with the main terrace where there is a separate dining area with a huge marble table for up to 12 which can be shaded from the sun. The house is approached via electric gates and is surrounded by around one and a half acres of terraced gardens. This valley used to be used for growing flowers for the perfumiers of Grasse, so there’s an amazing ancient system of canals that feeds our automatic irrigation system. There is a double carport and plenty of parking space.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is at St Raphael, but all of the beaches of the Cote D'Azur are within easy driving distance. The Lac de Cassien is also within about 15 mins drive and and offers watersports - windsurfing, rowing, pedaloing, swimming and fishing.
Golf
There are 2 golf courses 15 minutes away at Tourette de Fayence - the new Terre Blanche 18-hole course and Le Riou. Other courses within 30 minute drive include the golf at st Endreol at La Motte.
Skiing
Ski resorts within a 2 hour drive include the well-known resort of Isola 2000 (ideal for beginners) and Foux d'Allos (which is good for off-piste skiing).
Travel
Nice International Airport is a 40 minute drive. We recommend hiring a car from the airport or in Fayence. By car Fayence is approximately 1,100km from Calais via motorway to Aix-en-Provence and then on towards Nice.
The high speed TGV train service links Paris or Lille with Marseille or Nice.
Distances
The house is a 5 minutes drive (or a 20 minutes walk) from the shops and restaurants of Fayence which adjoins Tourettes. The A8 (Junction 39) is about 15 mins drive. This gives access to Frejus and St Tropez to the West, Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo to the East. We suggest hiring a car from Nice Airport or Fayence.
Further details
Fayence has a number of very good restaurants and is a 5 mins drive. There are 2 large supermarkets within 10 mins drive. Fayence airfield is acknowledged as one of Europe's leading gliding centres.
