Notes on accommodation
The house and studio have electric heating and electric blankets are provided for winter lets in the studio. The house is on 2 levels but with 5 steps down to the salon area. Upstairs the bedroom and bathroom have sloping ceilings. There are several terraces around the house for outside dining, each with tables and chairs. There is a second fridge in the utility room for bottles which frees up space in the kitchen fridges. The studio offers a private space for friends or grandparents wishing to holiday with the family but who like to have their own space to retreat to from time to time.
Accessibility
Neither the house or studio are suitable for people with mobility problems, nor do we think this property is suitable for children under 5 as there are many unguarded drops in the terraced garden. There is plenty of parking space for cars.

Owner profile
About the owner
My companion and I spend most of our year here in Seillans with our dog, a very friendly 'staffie'. We travel to the west of France where my daughter lives and to south Germany where my son and his family live, so we are not always in residence. At the time of writing we have just finished harvesting the olives from the trees in the garden and have collected our oil from the mill in Seillans. Very satisfying to have our own olive oil!
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I have lived in this beautiful corner of France for the last 25 years having first visited the area in 1970. From then until purchasing our first house in Seillans in 1985 we came every year to the same rental property, we just could not do without our "French fix"! Although the surrounding area has changed with many more facilities, Seillans has remained remarkably unspoilt and the beautiful village "Places" with their fountains and restaurants under the plane trees make this a very special village. The close but peaceful proximity of this property to the village makes walking to and from one of the local restaurants on a balmy evening a real pleasure.
Unique benefits of the property
The property is a 5-10 minute walk from the village of Seillans where you will find all daily food requirements, doctor, baker, chemist, dentist etc. It is not remote but is secluded and private.
