Location: Aups, Provence, France, Europe (Medieval Village of Aups is 1 Hour North of the Cote D' Azur)
Accommodations: Village House, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths (Sleeps 5-6)
The Main House has been the subject of a complete renovation and provides a stylish interior, where contemporary comfort blends with the traditional features of this seventeenth century former olive mill. The acacia-shaded dining terrace winds down to further terraces and an attractive decked plunge pool. There is a table-tennis table at the very bottom of the garden, under the twelfth-century Saracen tower.
The house used to be in the grounds of the former Chateau, since replaced by La Chapelle de Notre Dame, and is tucked away in the oldest part of Aups. Guests enjoy the convenience of walking the couple of minutes to the Boulangerie then breakfasting in the seclusion of their own garden before setting out (or not!) to explore the beauty of this special corner of Provence.
