Maison Vaussiere is located within walking distance to Lorgues, quietly set at the end of a cul-de-sac with only 2 neighbours and no direct passing traffic. It is within easy travelling distance to Nice, Cannes, Saint Tropez and the other mediterranean coastal resorts. The spacious garden is fenced with an iron gate making this house safe for small children. You can enjoy uninterrupted views over the vineyards from the garden's terraces or swim in the (heated) pool in the privacy of your garden. The house has a 'jeux de boules' court, where you can practice the local sport during your holiday. Balls etc are available in the house. The garden also has a lawn for children to play and there are olive trees and other mature planting in the garden. The pool (heated on request in spring and autumn) has steps into the water, practical for you with small children. There are also parasols for that most important shade in the midday sun. On the terraces you find tables and chairs for al-fresco dining both at the front and back of the house. Pots with flowers and other plants make this garden a little haven for it's visitors.

If you want warm fresh bread in the morning you can take a 15 minute walk into the village, where you find a selection of bakeries and small cafés serving freshly brewed coffee and croissants.
There are several supermarkets in Lorgues, which have open all day and even Sunday until noon for all your daily shopping.

On Tuesdays the famous Lorgues market is in full swing from early morning until 13.00 - the largest in the region. On Fridays there is a farmer's market with local farmers selling their produce. In the summer months this market is combined with a brocante.

    A perfect house. The kitchen has everything you need, a nice swimming pool.
    For the first time in years we haven't felt homesick. We can certainly recommend this house.

    Zeer aangenaam verblijf met 2 kinderen. Erg rustig gelegen, veel privacy. Heerlijk zwembad.
    De wegbeschrijving mag nog toegevoegd worden. Het huisnummer klopte niet. Bij aankomst dus niet makkelijk te vinden. Gelukkig is de gastheer (Phil) zeer attent en behulpzaam. ( ook bij stroomuitval na een hevig onweer). Enig minpunt is dat er geen airco is en dus de nachten behoorlijk warm waren. Verder prima. Een aanrader.

    We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in Maison Vaussiere. We waren met onze twee kinderen en hun vriendinnen. Het huis is heerlijk groot en het gemak van twee badkamers is een plus. Maar vooral de tuin is fantastisch. Je hoeft eigenlijk helemaal niet weg, zo fijn is deze ingericht. De hele dag is er een schaduwplekje te vinden. Starten op het terrasje aan de voorkant met ontbijt, lunch onder de parasol bij het zwembad en 'savonds dineren op het terras dat aan de serre grenst. En overdag heerlijk chillen aan en in het zwembad. Overigens hebben we ook genoten van de omgeving. Het plaatsje (en marktje) in Lorgue is sfeervol en de Badplaatsen Frejus en Nice zijn op rij-afstand. Verder ook veel goede wijnhuizen te bezoeken. Kortom: een aanrader.

Here you can eat outside in the warm evenings, children are welcome.
