Your holiday villa in Provence is situated in the hills above the medieval village of Fayence, close to the beaches of Cannes and those of Fréjus - both are less than 35 minutes away along the Autoroute A8. Being a thousand feet above sea level, the climate is near perfect all the year round. Villa la Moncalaise is located above the round village bell tower and the square rampart ruins of a medieval château. The Chemin de la Liberation encircles Quartier la Roque, the highest hill overlooking the village of Fayence. Entrance to the villa is from a large hall with a guest cloakroom. The wide corridor leads through double glass doors to a spacious sitting room with a modern fireplace. The dining room adjoins a fully-equipped, separate kitchen. The sitting room is bathed in sunlight all day as it opens through French double doors (porte-fenêtres) on to a large south-facing terrace which is also accessed from the kitchen and the master bedroom. The dining room has its own separate entrance with French double doors leading to another terrace in front of a yellow rose garden. The villa is tiled with rich, semi-glazed, Provençal floor tiles and is carpetted throughout with Agra rugs. Original oil paintings adorn the walls and lined silk curtains frame all French doors and windows. The villa has been furnished by Roche Bobois in a classic French provincial style. There are two master bedrooms on the ground floor with bathrooms ensuite and an additional double bedroom on the mezzanine floor. The villa is designed to sleep six people in great comfort and some style. In the basement leading off from the garage, there is a laundry room (which accessible from the hall) with an additional refrigerator (used mainly for chilling wines...), a wine cellar and a well equipped gym. This Provence vacation rental is a private home, very much loved and enjoyed by its owners. It is as fully equipped and cared for as any expensive private residence on the French Riviera. There is a dish washer, a washing machine, a dryer, a wide screen Sony TV with B-Sky-B satellite, a DVD, a Bang & Olufsen entertainment centre and kitchen equipment of every conceivable kind. You will enjoy living in a luxury villa in the most desirable part of the Riviera and Provence... The large kidney-shaped pool 10m x 6.5m, shaded by a giant parasaol pine, is solar-heated and floodlit at night - so is the gazebo with panoramic views of the distanct hills - a great place for summer dining and entertaining as the summer kitchen is conveniently close by under a willow tree. There is reclining furniture and a drinks trolley for use around the pool. There are armchairs and a dining suite with seating for eight on the terrace outside the sitting room. All outside furniture is teak. The garden has been developed on two terraces (restanques) and is planted with fruit trees, table grapes and ancient olive trees reputed to be over a thousand years old (millénaires). Finally, your villa in the south of France is completely fenced, electronically secured and protected with a 24-hour automatic telephone alarm to a private security service.

Town and location of object

show on map

Fayence is on the 'departmental' road D562 which runs along the valley floor between hills. It is the old track to the former Prefectural town of Draguignan. It services the Canton 'villages perchés' of Seillans, Fayence, Tourettes, Callian and Montauroux to Peymenade and Grasse, the perfume capital of France. From Montauroux the D37 follows the shores of Lac St. Cassien to Exit 39, gateway to the A8. Cannes is only 10 minutes away, Nice Airport is just another 20 minutes further along on the highway to Monaco and Italy.

It takes two minutes in the morning to walk down the cobblestone steps to the boulangerie for fresh croissants for breakfast on the terrace. Later in the day you may enjoy an 'apéro' by the fountain at the Place de la République before strolling down to the village market to browse the mouth-watering food stalls in the Place de l'Église, in front of the 18th century church, the largest in the Canton de Fayence. From the gazebo on the extensive park-like grounds of your Provence villa rental, you will be enchanted by the panoramic view of the Maures and the Esterel mountains. The hills are dotted with ancient villages perched high upon the hillsides in the far distance across the valley in between. In Fayence, gliders from the airfield below rise on thermal currents warmed by the morning sun. They perform graceful ballets in slow-motion as they skim and hug the contours of the hills above Villa la Moncalaise. This micro-climate in a bowl makes Fayence, encircled by steep hills, the foremost gliding centre in Europe by the number of hours flown.

Additional Information

There is much to do in Fayence...Fishing and boating on Lac de St. Cassien, riding, windsurfing and gliding are all within easy reach, as is magnificent walking country. For the really energetic, a Grande Randonée along the base of the Gorge du Verdon (Europe's largest) or, for those not so energetic, a drive along its spectacular rim is highly spectacular. St. Tropez and the Mediterranean, as well as local golf courses including excellent championship courses at Tourrettes and La Motte are all within less then one hour’s drive. In winter, skiing is great in the Southern Alps, (Foux d'Allos, Gréolières and Isola 2000 a two-hour drive away). For music lovers, there are plenty of summer concerts with jazz in the open air in Bargemon and in nearby villages of Seillans and Montferrat; chamber music and recitals in nearby churches: Mass with Gregorian plainsong on Sunday mornings at the Abbey de Thoronet; opera at Aix-en Provence, Orange and Nice.
