Spectacularly beautiful, Barbaroux is surrounded by vineyards and Mediterranean pine trees covering the hillsides. With 300 days of sunshine per year, Barbaroux is a place where winters are dry and sunny, permitting golf all year round with temperatures achieving 15c in December and January. Classified in the top 50 European courses and in the top 20 French courses, Barbaroux is one of the rare golf courses where every hole is unforgettable and the greens are fast and honest. Imagine driving your ball over a vineyard to reach the fairway, or trying to avoid three large lakes on the same hole or the challenge of the biggest green in Europe? (69 meter long on most courses that can be over half the length of the par 3's). No matter your strength or weaknesses, this Champions' course will never bore you! English professional. 4 trolleys, 2 are battery powered.

Guest comments
'The accommodation is first class with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing luxurious holiday. We have stayed in many holiday villas thoroughout the world but this was by far the best. Anyone who has a passion for golf will enjoy the superb golf course which is on the doorstep. The owner of the property was extremley helpful and provided detailed information about the area and the property in advance of our stay. We would recommend this property without hesitation and will return in the future.'
'We spent a wonderful week in Provence at Villa Rosetta at the beginning of July. Our stay in the south of France was really perfect and this was largely due to the villa, having a place that was luxurious, comfortable and felt like home made returning to the UK extra hard. The owner has taken a lot of trouble to make sure that it is really an ideal luxury getaway. We look forward to coming back as soon as we can!
''Without doubt the best holiday rental in France we have ever had!'
