Ask a questionAbout Julia Deans
We now live in Toronto, but started visiting Callas 20 years ago while living in Asia with young children. We have a wide variety of interests but we all love coming to Callas to relax, explore, and immerse ourselves in all things French.
Julia Deans purchased this House in 2005
Why Julia Deans chose Callas
We bought our villa after renting in the area for many years. Every time we left we had many things to do on our next visit so we knew we'd never get bored! The list now includes everything from great markets, vineyards and restaurants to hiking trails, beaches and cultural sites - we love sharing it with our guests. It's also a great place to relax and do nothing. Have a morning cafe and croissants in the Callas square, a leisurely lunch on the terrace and an afternoon reading under the shade of the mulberry tree or by the pool. Perfection!
What makes this House unique
We like being able to walk into our village and not have to drive. It's 10 minutes down, 15 minutes back (there's a hill). We also like being in the quiet beauty of a rural area with incredible nature all around us but also having easy access to bigger places like St. Tropez, Cannes, Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence. It's the best of all worlds!
