Experience the charm of Provence at "La Cantilène" in Sanary!
This beautiful Provençal bastide, accommodating 6 to 8 people, offers 160m² of living space. Facing south, it's sheltered from the mistral wind and nestled in a peaceful pine forest by the sea.
The beach is just steps from the villa: a small cove less than 3 minutes away on foot at the bottom of the private path, and a fine sandy beach is 5 minutes away.
The highlight of your stay: A swimming pool that protects your health and the environment:
- The pool is lined with natural resin made from the bark of the Harvadia Albicans tree, native to Mexico. For every tree used, five new trees are planted, contributing to reforestation and maintaining biodiversity.
- The water is treated by salt electrolysis, eliminating the need for chlorine to irritate the eyes.
Note: The shallow end is perfect for little ones to splash around in!
A delightful garden with two terraces: one shaded by a pergola with a large dining table, and the other, a teak deck by the pool with sun loungers for relaxing in the sun or under the shade of parasols. A Weber gas barbecue is also provided.
The ground-floor rooms open onto the terrace and pool, creating a true holiday atmosphere!
Upstairs, there are four air-conditioned bedrooms and three shower rooms, two of which are en suite with individual toilets, and one shower room with a separate toilet for the other two. Some bedrooms offer a glimpse of the nearby sea through the pine trees. On the ground floor, there is a bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a separate toilet.
You are a 5-minute drive from the center of Sanary, its authentic fishing port, and its famous Provençal market, awarded "France's Most Beautiful Market."
You can walk to the Sanary harbour, a charming coastal road that runs along the sea (a 30-minute walk, magical at sunset). This is also the ideal route to avoid the Wednesday traffic jam, the day of the large Provençal market.
