Description
Welcome to Mas de la Gavaresse – A haven of nature between sea and hills
Located in Le Pradet, between Toulon and Hyères, in one of the most beautiful unspoiled areas of the Var coast, Mas de la Gavaresse invites you to set down your bags for a rejuvenating stay, in tune with nature, the sun… and the Mediterranean. Three charming cottages for rent, for a tailor-made stay:
• Le Pénéquet – Cozy atmosphere & Provençal charm for 4 people
• L’Orangeraie – Cosy, bright, for 5/6 people, ideal for families
• La Feniére – Comfort and tranquility, for 6/7 people or groups of 10 to 17 people
Rates depend on the season, the number of cottages, and the number of people: all details on gavaresse.fr & gavaresse. com
Each accommodation is fully equipped with a private terrace and access to a vast Mediterranean garden, in the heart of a protected natural estate. The calm is absolute, the scents of Provence ever-present, and the sea… just a few minutes’ walk away!
The sea just steps away, a grand vacation:
The Mas is located 9 minutes on foot from Garonne beach, from a marked underwater trail to discover the posidonia, and from secret coves accessible by foot. A real luxury. Around the Mas, a multitude of nature and cultural activities:
• Hikes in the surrounding hills and pine forests
• Bike rides or kayaking along the wild coast
• Snorkeling, diving, relaxing, or fishing at sunset
• Wine tastings, Provençal markets, local exhibitions
• Visits to the Hyères islands, Mont Faron, or the Bayarde fort just steps away
Alone, as a couple, with family or friends:
The Mas is perfect for a nature retreat, a gentle seaside stay, or a group holiday thanks to the possibility of renting several gîtes at once. Privatization of the property possible for groups or small private events.
Le Pradet – Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur
Easy access from Toulon or Hyères. Free parking on site.
Weekly rental or short stays depending on the season – Summer, spring, and autumn are particularly popular. Book early to enjoy the peace... and the cicadas! Le Mas de la Gavaresse is much more than accommodation:
It is an authentic experience, respectful of nature, in a rare place where time seems to stand still.

Location and surroundings of object
A rare gem between land and sea – the exceptional location of Mas de la Gavaresse
Mas de la Gavaresse is nestled in the heart of a protected natural area, in the peaceful Garonne district of Le Pradet, on the unspoiled Var coastline between Toulon and Hyères. Here, nature takes center stage: wooded hills, fragrant pine forests, secluded beaches, and turquoise coves set the tone – all just minutes from everyday conveniences.
A unique natural retreat
The Mas is surrounded by the Domaine de la Colle Noire, a biodiversity-rich protected area filled with birdsong, the scent of wild herbs, and whispering trees. No traffic, no noise – just tranquility, birds, and the soothing sound of the sea.
The sea at your doorstep
A short, scenic footpath leads you in under ten minutes to La Garonne beach – a peaceful, family-friendly spot perfect for swimming and relaxing. Nearby, the beaches of Monaco and Les Bonnettes offer wild coves, rocky outcrops, and crystal-clear waters – ideal for snorkeling and marine exploration.
A perfect base to discover the Var region differently
Right from the Mas, the famous coastal path ("Sentier du Littoral") invites you to hike along the Mediterranean shoreline toward Cap Garonne or Carqueiranne. A marked underwater trail also lets you explore the unique Posidonia seagrass meadows, treasures of the Mediterranean ecosystem.
By car or bike, you’re just a short ride from the Mont Faron, the islands of Hyères, the Bayarde fortress, or charming Provençal villages.
Local life and Provençal charm
Le Pradet is a welcoming, authentic village with colorful markets, local vineyards, seaside restaurants, and all the shops you might need (bakery, grocery store, pharmacy...) just five minutes away.
Easy access
Mas de la Gavaresse is 20 minutes from Toulon TGV station, 25 minutes from Toulon-Hyères airport, and approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Marseille or 1 hour 45 minutes from Nice.
A truly special place for anyone seeking to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a meaningful holiday by the sea.

Anne Rose C. from Nice
Very beautiful cottage to gather with family or friends.
For a weekend with friends (12 people), we rented the 3 cottages. The large common room allowed us to gather for meals, and being spread across 3 accommodations helped us maintain our privacy. The garden is beautiful and the 3 cottages are very pleasant. A lovely place.

Answer from Mr. M. Serra:
Nous sommes ravis que votre week-end entre amis ait été une réussite et que la combinaison des trois gîtes, avec la grande salle commune, vous ait permis à la fois de partager de bons moments et de préserver l’intimité de chacun.
Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié le jardin et le confort des hébergements — c’est exactement ce que nous souhaitons offrir à nos visiteurs.
Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un autre séjour convivial au Mas de la Gavaresse

The Mas de la Gavaresse
The Mas de la Gavaresse was perfect for us. We were 5 families (10 adults, 8 children) and it had enough space for everyone, with nice tenants and great service. Also, the price was very fair. If you are a large group, a car is more practical for shopping or excursions, but you can also do everything by public transport or on foot. We will gladly return! "Le Mas de la Gavaresse" était parfait pour nous (5 familles), il y avait assez de place, un grand jardin à usage exclusif, des hôtes sympathiques (que nous avons vus en personne, ce qui est rare de nos jours) et le service était fantastique, de plus le prix était très juste.
Pour les grands groupes, une voiture est pratique pour les courses et les excursions, mais on peut aussi se déplacer à pied ou avec les transports en commun.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Answer from Mr. M. Serra:
We are delighted that all 5 of your families so unanimously appreciated the Mas, particularly the balance between the spacious areas and the privacy of the house, the garden, and the proximity to all amenities and leisure activities. Your compliments on the personalized welcome truly touch us. It would be our pleasure to contribute once again to helping you discover the richness of our location.

Wonderful oasis
We spent a wonderful vacation as a family of four in the apartment l'Orangerie. The apartment is beautifully furnished and the beds are very cozy. We particularly liked the light-filled living room with a view of the lush and tall garden. It is very quiet, although you are only a 10-minute walk from the beach. The morning walk to the bakery was also relaxing. One can also hike directly from the house and is rewarded with a magnificent view over the Mediterranean. I could describe so many beautiful things... but not to be forgotten are Estelle and Marc with their warm, helpful, and humorous nature. We laughed a lot together. We will come back!

Wir freuen uns sehr, dass euch das Haus, der Garten, die Spaziergänge und die Lebensart in unserem mediterranen Winkel gefallen haben.
Wir hoffen, euch bald wiederzusehen – für neue Entdeckungen und weitere schöne Momente!
