South facing house with magnificent views

With its location just over an hour from Nice, near the medieval village of Callas, with a large pool and lovely views and with sun from morning to evening, it becomes our favorite place which we also rent out for a few summer weeks. Welcome to Villa Cocorico!

La belle vue

16/02/2019

The view from the house is breathtaking, over both the village and the valley as well as with the mountains in the fund. On clear days you can even see the sea with a little good will! It is particularly beautiful at sunrise and at sunset as the sun illuminates the mountains and the village.

The house

15/02/2019

The house is very bright and is in good condition. There are three bedrooms one of which is a separate bedroom which is secluded with its own entrance, shower and toilet. Master bedroom has exit to the terrace and wonderful views. All three bedrooms have between 140-180 cm double beds. The house has a modern kitchen with "all" types of...

The garden

14/01/2019

The terraced plot of 3500 square meters is part of a former olive grove and is very sunny and transparently protected. In addition to the olive trees, there are many plantings including rosemary and lavender. There are two entrances, one in the direction of Callas and one in the direction of Bargemon. There is space for parking several cars, two...

The Pool

The pool measures 10 * 5 meters and is 1.40 cm deep. Nice staircase in one corner makes it easy to walk in the pool. The pool area with its fine surfaces flows in the sun from morning to evening. There are sun loungers and a shower.

From the house it is only 300 meters down to Callas. The medieval village has 1800 inhabitants and is a vibrant village all year round. The residents are mainly resident French but there are also some holiday homes. The village has three nice restaurants (our favorite is the cheap La Groupy"), a wine bar, a small hotel, a Bar au...

The proximity to numerous vineyards and having our "own" olive mill in the village gives a little extra!

Closest to the sea is the straight road down through the wine area between Callas and Le Muy and then on to Sainte-Maxime. Sainte-Maxime is perhaps best known for the Swedish royal family having its house just outside the city. The town is cozy and well worth a visit. Try the Nartell beach and eat an expensive but...

Clavier

11/01/2019

4 km from the house is Clavier. It is nice to have a drink at the local bar and check out the petanque games. The small village also has a couple of good restaurants and is the starting point for a nice hike up to Chapell Saint-Anne.

Bargemon

10/01/2019

5 km from the house is Bargemon. Perhaps the most famous village in the area, very cozy to walk around, visit one of the restaurants in the square or just cool off with the Italian ice cream! A wonderful afternoon activity is to hike from the house up through the valley to Bargemon.

The villages are in practice a unit but have a completely different character. Fayence is the bigger one with more restaurants and services while Tourette is the "artist village". The villages are 30 minutes from the house and are a great place to stop for lunch if you also want to discover their neighbors, the nice villages of Callian...

Draguignan

08/01/2019

Draguignan is our nearest major city. It is the former capital of the department Var which is evident in the wide avenues and beautiful 19th century houses. Nowadays, Draguignan is a quiet and pleasant city that offers all kinds of service. The city has no lure for tourists, so if you want to feel the more everyday French city life,...

Golf

07/01/2019


St Endreol Golf & Spa is a very nice hilly course about 20 minutes from the house. St Endreol also has a nice clubhouse with glorious views. Other nice courses and about 45 minutes away, are Golf de Beauvallon down by the sea at Sainte-Maxime, Golf de Roquebrune near the A8 on the way to Frejus and a little...
