A private corner of Provence - stone bergerie in wild nature

Ambalao is an authentic 17th-century stone bergerie, thoughtfully restored to welcome up to 7 guests. Comfortable, autonomous, and ecological, it is a rare sanctuary nestled in wild, protected nature—far from noise and crowds, yet just a short drive from the Mediterranean.

A Unique, Timeless Retreat :
Carefully restored with respect for its history and surroundings, Ambalao combines ancient stone walls, modern comfort, and perfect harmony with nature. Every detail—stone, wood, light—creates an atmosphere of serenity and authenticity.
Here, time seems to stand still, and each stay becomes a restorative experience.

Access to the property :
Ambalao is reached via an unpaved track suitable for most of standard vehicles. Low or sports cars may encounter difficulties. If in doubt, we are happy to guide you for a smooth arrival.
This track is part of the experience: it leads to a private and protected sanctuary, far from busy roads, preserving the peace and natural surroundings of the bergerie.

Nature, Silence, and Eco-Autonomy :
Fully secluded, the house operates sustainably: solar energy, pure spring water, and a spring-fed pool filtered by a solar-powered system requiring light, occasional guest attention.
These simple practices are part of the experience, ensuring the home and environment remain pristine. Guests seeking calm, ecological living, and natural beauty will feel completely at home.

Relaxation and Activities :
Spring-fed swimming pool
Panoramic terrace with views of hills and distant Alps
Hammock under cork trees
Vegetable garden and orchards to pick herbs, tomatoes, and fruit
Hiking, mountain biking, pétanque, ping-pong, Molkky, and children’s games

Wake each morning to the song of cicadas, and fall asleep under a star-filled sky in absolute tranquility.

Family and Social Spaces :
Ground floor: cozy living room with fireplace and library, intimate rounded bedroom, rustic-modern kitchen, bathroom with walk-in shower
Upper floor: 2 bright bedrooms, including a family room with double and single beds.

An Eco-Conscious Experience :
Ambalao is designed for guests who respect the environment and house rules.
Eco-friendly products are provided, and light participation in pool and home maintenance is part of the immersive experience.
Here, luxury meets responsibility, calm, and harmony with nature.

Nearby Attractions :
While completely secluded, the property is within reach of the iconic beaches of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and charming towns such as Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Aygulf, and Saint-Tropez.
