Terrace with view of sea
Location: Bandol, Provence, France, Europe (Mediterranean coast near Toulon; Airports Marseille, Nice)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Attached Unit, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
The house is on a hill with beautiful sea views to the nearby Mediterranean. The garden has lavender, almond and olive trees and there are vineyards in back of the house. In addition to our large (5x10 meters) private pool there are several nearby beaches and a pretty ``calanque'' (rocky cove) for swimming off the rocks and skin diving.
There is a double-size living room whose south walls are glass sliding bays which open towards the sea. There is a large terrace towards the sea which is the usual dining area in good weather--that is most of the year.
Bandol is famous for wine and food and has a beautiful marketplace with fresh fish from the Bandol fishermen and produce from the local growers. Almonds, seafood, olives, peaches and apricots are among the local specialites.
The weather is generally mild. The light is beautiful as made famous by Cezanne and the impressionists. The lavender is at the door and there are almond blossoms and mimosa in the winter.
The interesting medieval villages of La Cadiere and Le Castellet are in the nearby back country. Aix-en-Provence is not far as well as Avignon, Nice, Cannes, and the rest of the Cote d'Azur are a bit further but within range for day trips.
There are tennis courts in town and we are very close to the famous and beautiful "Golf de la Fregate'' golf course. Walks on the cliffs along the sea or in the back country are beautiful and interesting.
In addition to the living room, the other rooms also have the glass sliding bays. Central oil heating when necessary in winter. A small private meditation area with a sculpture and a view over the bay of Bandol is entered from the main bedroom. Shade is provided by a large, old, live oak tree (Chene Vert).
The garden apartment, has its own terrace, kitchen, two bedrooms, and other facilities. It may be rented together at a reduced rate
for larger groups, or rented separatedly for a small family.
