About this property

La Canal is a beautiful large bastide, built in 1760. Its thick walls keep the house cool during the hot summer months. The house has been restored to a high standard, by its designer owner, to give great comfort and space for 12 people. There is a huge terrace in front of the house, shaded by ancient mulberry trees, from which one has splendid views to the distant Maures. You can walk through the mature walled 2 1/2 acre garden and wild flower meadow straight into the village, no driving to all those lovely restaurants! The magnificent 14 metre salt water pool is tucked away in a secluded part of the garden. Ample secure parking is provided with electric gates at the entrance.

House in stunning setting with salt water pool

This was our sixth time staying with our large family and friends in this gorgeous rambling house. It is our favourite place to stay every time we visit France and we have already booked La Canal again for this year. It is just perfect, comfortable beds, good bathrooms, a large private garden where we spend a good deal of time relaxing in one of the several shady spots with loungers and tables or around the well maintained salt water pool. We adore cooking in the very charming and well set up kitchen. The village is literally only few hundred feet away for picking up those fresh croissants for breakfast and visiting the two fantastic markets there each each. Most meals are eaten outside under the Mulberry trees. Heaven!! Nicola is the perfect host and always makes sure that everything is as it should be. Very highly recommended. A big thank you to Nicoala, as always!!!

Elegant and authentic Provençal home-from-home

We have stayed at La Canal on many occasions, but this was the first time during the month of September. It turned out to be a great time of the year with the evenings cooler but the days still lovely and warm enough to swim in the wonderful huge pool. We were invited on several occasions to join Nicola and her welcoming friends on local hikes. How fantastic and varied the local countryside is for walking, including the beautiful coastal path where we all swam in the sea to cool off! La Canal is a wonderful old house with very spacious bedrooms and a large well-tended and much-loved garden. Nicola is a very keen gardener and now grows her own organic fruit and vegetables which may find their way to your table… I can’t wait for my next trip later this year! Sally

Fantastic Family Holiday & Great Location

Our family, a group of 6 adults and 4 children stayed at La Canal in mid August 2018 and had a wonderful holiday. The house is very spacious and well appointed, with a charming and relaxed French farm house feel, surrounded by a huge 2 acre garden that creates a real sense of space and privacy. There is a large pool which the kids loved, and kept them occupied most days as they spent hours splashing around in it ! In the evening there is a lovely graveled courtyard area in front of the house that is shrouded by mulberry trees which makes it a great place to sit outside for family BBQ's, relax and enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine ! The house is in a great location relative to the town, and you are 5 mins walk from the heart of the town, where there are plenty of places to eat, drink and pick up fresh bread and groceries. While we were there the town held 2 markets (food and arts/crafts), and on Friday night had a live cover band playing in the main street where families of all ages danced and enjoyed the evening. The house is also well positioned to do some local sightseeing, and we spent a day down in St Tropez (35 miles), and an afternoon swimming in lake near the stunning Gorges du Verdon (20 miles). Nicola, thank you for being a wonderful host and for letting us share this beautiful house for a week - we had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend it !!

Idyllic house in beautiful village!

Our family of 3 generations aged 9 to 70 spent 2 weeks in this beautiful property. The characterful house was immaculately clean and well equipped with enough space for all 12 of us to spend time together and retreat to our separate spaces. The children loved playing in the private, enclosed grounds and enormous swimming pool and we had lovely evenings eating our dinner under the Mulberry trees and playing boules. The village of Lorgues is situated right outside the gate to the property and has several cafes and restaurants, 2 supermarkets, a cinema and a fabulous weekly market! The best market that we have found in France! While we could have happily spent the entire 2 weeks in the house and village, having travelled all the way from Australia we felt compelled to explore the region. Our favourite day trips from the house included the Verdon Gorge where we swam and kayaked in the picturesque lake, a ferry ride from St.Maxime to St. Tropez, a boat trip from Cassis to swim in the amazing Calanques, a day trip to Monaco to visit the fantastic Musee Oceanographic and a lovely day trip to the quaint Italian village of Dolceaqua. Nicola was a lovely host who was incredibly helpful without being intrusive and her local knowledge was indispensable. Thank you Nicola,we have many wonderful memories from our stay and hope to return soon!

Beautiful villa on the outskirts of Lourdes

Thank you Nicola for a really wonderful stay with you in your beautiful house on the edge of Lorgues. We were a group of 16 with 8 adults and 8 children ranging in age from 1 - 7years. When we arrived there had been a confusion over the numbers in our group and we were more than expected. Nicola was really good in dealing with that and quickly set up some extra beds for the children. The house has an unusual lay-out so that some bedrooms can only be accessed by passing through others on each floor. We did not find this a problem however and the rooms themselves were all spacious and full of beautiful things collected during travels over the years which really made the house feel homely. The pool area is stunning and our kids loved spending hours each day playing in the water. We all loved eating under the mulberry trees and watching meteor showers at night. The house is tricky to find at first but once you know it, it is very convenient and lovely to be able to stroll into town to buy croissants or for an evening meal. Nicola was a great host, living on site in a separate wing of the house - there to answer any questions and help if needed but never intrusive. She took care to suggest great days out, places to eat, help with anything, and was really welcoming to so many kids about the place!
