| Les Colombes: a
delightful 18th century bastide in a private, tranquil and typical
provencal setting. Close to the medieval village of Villecroze and a short
walk from the renowned vineyards of Valcolombe. The property is situated
at the end of a small ‘no through road’ in the exclusive residential area
of Gandelon. A lovely location with panoramique views, including the hill
village of Tourtour with its fine restaurants and architecture. This
charming farmhouse has been sympathetically renovated to the highest
standard and is surrounded by mature gardens with over
30 olive trees and numerous fruit and nut trees such as cherry, plum, fig,
walnut and almond. There is a swimming pool surrounded by a
large terrace with sun-loungers. |
| |
| Les Colombes is a detached and
private property bounded by traditional dry stone walls and shrubs. There
is ample parking within the grounds. Pleasant walks abound in the
Gandelon including the beautiful hilltop site of St. Bartelemy with its
caves and springs. Markets at Salernes, Aups, or Cotignac offer the best
in ‘atmosphere’ and local produce. The Gorges du Verdon and the
spectacular Lac de Sainte Croix are only ½hr drive away. The nearest shops
and restaurants are only 15 minutes walk and Villecroze village with its
open-air bars and restaurants is only 5 minutes by car. |
| |
| Les
Colombes is well placed to experience some of the best of
provencal life and culture. The pace is always unrushed, but, if you fancy
a change, you are less than an hour from the hustle and bustle of the Cote
d’Azur. |
