The house
Welcome to our holiday home Le Petit Paradis in the heart of Provence!
Enjoyment is guaranteed. Whether you are looking for peace and quiet or plenty of activities, you have come to the right place for both types of holiday.
The 120m2 house has 4 bedrooms, all equipped with individually controlled air conditioners. Two bedrooms are downstairs together with a bathroom. And two bedrooms can be found on the first floor with a bathroom as well. Upstairs, a small cot can be added in one bedroom for a small child (max 2/3 years), so that up to 9 people can be accommodated. The kitchen is fully equipped (including dishwasher, oven, microwave and various smaller appliances).
But of course you mainly come to be outside in the lovely Provençal climate where the sun shines more than anywhere else in France. The spacious pool terrace (5 x 10m) has a large dining table in the shade, eight sunbeds and a lounge area. You overlook the (flat) lawn with olive trees. At the back of the garden are a trampoline and a swing (for young and old).
The house is located just outside Salernes. Baker and supermarket can be found at 1km. The grounds of 1,800 m2 are fully fenced and lockable. Your car(s) are safely parked on the private property.
Perhaps nice to know: we bought the house over a year ago. Everything is therefore freshly painted and the inventory is up to date again. The downstairs bathroom was completely renovated in February 2019.
We hope to welcome you! Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Our house in summary:
- 4 Air-conditioned bedrooms for a total of up to 9 guests
- 2 Bathrooms (one upstairs and one downstairs)
- A lovely (heated) swimming pool of 5m x 10m (open mid-April to October). Safe to close with a fence for when you have small children. Easy to remove if not needed.

Surroundings

Salernes is situated in an ideal spot in the Provence. In the rolling hills where vineyards are interspersed with lovely villages such as Tourtour, Entrecasteaux and Lorgues. The Mediterranean Sea is only three quarters of an hour away and the beautiful Lac de Sainte Crox only 25 minutes. The house is situated one and a half kilometres outside Salernes. Supermarkets and a boulangerie are within a kilometre and therefore easily accessible even on foot.
If you want to alternate the rustic life of Provence with the energy of a city with character, there are a number of top cities about an hour's drive away. Our personal favourites are Aix-en-Provence and Nice.
Aix is a chic but lively city. You can have a nice stroll and do some good shopping. Nice is France's fourth largest city. Cosmopolitan and fantastically located by the sea.
But of course, Cannes must not go unmentioned either. Famous for the annual Festival de Cannes, but actually fun to visit all year round.
Accessibility
* Of course our house is easily accessible by car. From the A8 (motorway from Aix to Nice) it is half an hour over excellent departmental roads.
* There are several airports at about an hour's drive from Le Petit Paradis. Nice is the most common airport at 1 hour and 15 minutes. Toulon-Hyeres airport is only one hour away. And the third option is Marseille - Marignane (at 1 hour 20).
* Finally, you can also reach our house entirely by public transport. Take the TGV to Nice and then the bus (via Frejus and Draguignan).

Han Kortenhoeven from HARDINXVELD,
Wat moet ik nu schrijven als het niet te omschrijven is zo heerlijk!
In een woord; paradijselijk!Familie Nauta from Amsterdam,
Heerlijk huis met een prachtige tuin! Heerlijk zwembad waar we een week lang niet uit gekomen zijn. In het najaar echt een fijne plek om te zijn, overdag zo rond de 20 graden, 's avonds knus voor de openhaard. Hele vriendelijke beheerders en goed contact met de eigenaren. Aanrader!
Mariëlle Bergman from Tilburg,
Prachtig huis in een hele mooie omgeving. Ruim van opzet. Echt alles is aanwezig in het huis om je verblijf te veraangenamen. Goed contact met verhuurder en Franse caretakers. Voor herhaling vatbaar. Wij hebben echt genoten van onze vakantie in le petit paradis.

Further remarks
WEATHER IN PROVENCE
The weather in Provence is characterised by many hours of sunshine, an extremely attractive climate. The winters in the South of France are mild, the sun shines an average of 6 hours (Netherlands/Belgium 2 hours). In the summer, the sun shines on average 12 hours (Netherlands/Belgium 6 hours). On hot days, you are sometimes pleasantly surprised by a cooling mistral, which can last for several days. The weather in spring and autumn is very pleasant, and the outdoor life can be enjoyed to the full. The Provence is one of the warmest places in the whole of France, so if you want a good weather guarantee, you have the best chance in the South of France.
For background
We bought this house at Christmas 2017. It is already very well maintained but still we are going to freshen it up and modernise it a bit in terms of furnishings. This is also the reason why you do not see any reviews on the site yet. Of course we would like to earn very good reviews. So we are motivated to the bone to make you feel at home!
