The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some traffic

Maison Sarcelle is a split-level villa, facing southwest with views over forested hills and the surrounding Provençal countryside. The property is a little over one kilometer from the village of Varages.

The main part of the house is on a level with the garden and swimming pool, while a few steps lead up to three bedrooms: two double bedrooms, and one twin bedroom. With tiled floors and colourful shutters, it feels like a traditional Provençal house with all the comforts of a modern building. There is air conditioning in all the bedrooms. The owner lives in the basement apartment. It is completely independent with its own garden and entrance. The main house is not overlooked and the pool is private.
A large open-plan living area dominates the ground floor, with doors opening onto the south-west facing front terrace. This room is comfortably furnished with two sofas and a pair of armchairs surrounding a traditional wood-burning stove.

The adjoining dining area opens onto the east terrace, which is a perfect location for breakfast and lunch al fresco. Both the living and dining rooms connect to the kitchen, which is fully fitted and well equipped.
Four steps lead up to a hallway, from which doors open into the three bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms has its own ensuite shower room with toilet. The master bedroom, which has a double bed, Faces north east with morning sun and overlooks the garden and olive grove..

The second bedroom faces southwest, and has a pair of single beds. The third bedroom is south west facing with double aspect windows and overlooks the terrace and garden. Both these bedrooms have en suite shower rooms with a toilette.

There is air conditioning in the living room and all the bedrooms have ceiling fans.

Split over two terraces, the garden is filled with olive trees and ornamental shrubs, with a flat lawn where children can play.

Sadly the road into Varages is not suitable for pedestrians as there are no pavements or walkways.

The secluded nine by four metre swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace with sunbeds. The view reaches for miles around over green hills and valleys.

    Wat een heerlijk huis is dit. Van werkelijk alle gemakken voorzien en alles in aanwezig.
    Nu ook alle slaapkamers van airco voorzien zijn is het zeker in de zomer zeer aangenaam om te slapen.
    De tuin geeft je veel mogelijkheden om ook in de schaduw te kunnen zitten. Het zwembad geeft de mogelijkheid tot een verfrissende duik. Ruth, de eigenaresse, is heel erg aardig.

    Heerlijk compleet uitgerust huis met fijne tuin. Heerlijk grote veranda aan de voorzijde. En diverse plekken rondom het huis om ook lekker te zitten. Fijn zwembad dat zorgt voor de nodige verkoeling. Een aanrader.

  • 8 stars

    Alles in orde, groot proper huis met privé zwembad. Nodig in zo'n warme streek. Airco in leefruimte en ventilatoren in de kamers.
    Eigenaar: Zeer vriendelijke dame die onder het huis woont.
    Goede uitvalsbasis voor de regio te verkennen.

Restaurants, food & wine

Varages is well placed to visit the cities of Marseille, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence, all of which are within thirty to ninety minutes’ drive. Each of these cities is built on a rich heritage of Roman and medieval history, and offers a great selection of restaurants, shops, and cultural activities.

The Mediteranean beaches at Hyère are also within easy reach, and the ferry ride to the islands just off the coast makes for a great day trip.
St-Tropez and the Alps are both well situated for a visit. Expect blue skies and hot sunny weather from the middle of June to the end of August, but outside of this period it is still warm and sunny, with blue skies and only occasional rain.

May is the month for wild flowers, June for poppies and lavender, and in November, the vines and trees are lit up with autumn colours.

Activities

Trails thread their way through the surrounding hills, which one can explore on foot, bicycle, or horseback.
Among the many nearby villages, St-Maximin has a street market every Wednesday which should not be missed. Twenty minutes away, Lac-St-Croix offers swimming and water sports, and it’s the same distance to the spectacular canyon, the Gorge du Verdon. Opportunities for kayaking, horse riding, mountain climbing, walking and cycling are all within easy reach.
