Notes on accommodation
The villa is on a large, mostly even, site which is particularly suited to older / younger people who might find more terraced sites difficult. Central heating and air conditioning are both available. The pool can also be heated for an additional charge.
Accessibility
While the site is mostly even and the house is on one level, the area itself backs up to mountains and the surrounding villages are all built on hills.
Outside
There is a large swimming pool measuring 12 x 5 mts for private use. The pool is fitted with a bracelet alarm system and a heater (at an additional cost). Each bracelet costs Euro90 to replace so care should be taken not to lose/break them. The sunbeds under the parasol by the pool are enough to get one up early. A perfect place for dinner is the large terrace with its magnificent views of the country and Seillans. There is a large table with seating for 6/8 and a gas BBQ. The second terrace overlooks the pool and has a wonderfully comfortable seating arrangement, ideal for reading or enjoying a glass of rose. There is a smaller dining area in the shade of a large oak tree. A table tennis table and bats are provided outside for those who tire of too much relaxation!
Coast/Beach
The Mediterranean coastline is only 40 mins drive and you have a choice of great beaches from Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Frejus to St. Raphael. There are many private beaches with fantastic facilities e.g. sunbeds, restaurants, showers, parasols, toilets etc. but equally great public beaches, many of which also have showers and toilets.
Golf
There are 2 golf courses and a wonderful spa at the Four Seasons in Terre Blanche, which is less than 15 mins drive. The hotel has a Michelin starred restaurant with wonderful views. It also has a golf academy with a floodlit practice range and all weather covered positions.

Guest comments
I can offer no greater compliment than one voiced by our boys on only the second day: 'When we've been to the supermarket can we come straight back to 'our house' - I love it..." We all felt very much at home!" A. Flintan.
"M & D so welcoming and helpful. House wonderful, everyone very very heureux!" E. Rutherford.
"I will also on behalf of my parents, my girlfriend and me, say thank you very much for renting the house. It was absolutely magnificent! The house was perfect, with the pool, and the terraces, everything!"
"We had just about the most perfect holiday. Your house is beautiful and we loved it all. One great feature for us was the abundance of art and places of interest related to art." J. Powell.
We had a wonderful time in Seillans. The house was perfect. We loved the location. The pool was so clean and warm - the babies swam every day. The travel cots, high chairs and baby bath were great. We really appreciated the few groceries provided on our first day" K.R.
Owner profile
About the owner
I live in Dublin with my husband, Jimmy and two teenage daughters. We bought our villa in 2004, updating the property to include a 12 x 5 metre swimming pool and air-conditioning. Until 2009 we did not rent out the house, preferring to use it as much as possible ourselves. Now our girls are older, they spend less time in France and consequently we have decided to rent out the villa. We have been going to France for over 10 years and fell in love with Seillans as soon as we saw it. Our friends and family and the girls friends have joined us over the years and we have many fantastic memories and photos! One of the most memorable is watching fireworks over the Seillans countryside on 14th July.
Year purchased: 2004
