About this property

Secluded Villa With Large Fabulous Pool And Grounds

The hillside villa has fabulous views and plenty of space, with easy access to the French Riviera and Provence. During the Summer we accept reservations from Saturday to Saturday only.
The house has its own large swimming pool with loungers and umbrellas on the deck. It has four double bedrooms (two en-suite) and a single bedroom.
Serendipity has a large kitchen, two living rooms and a tiled, sheltered dining terrace. There is both a gas grill/BBQ and a wood outdoor bread/pizza oven as well as a full kitchen inside.
It has broadband wireless internet and a smart TV.
There is a boule area, olive trees and plenty of private parking inside the grounds.
The village of Figanieres -- a five minute drive or 30 minute walk -- has narrow streets and an old church. The region is full of wonderful villages, where rural life is thriving. The centre of village life is the (child friendly) bar. There are also great pastry / bread shops, smaller grocery stores, a post office, a natural spring with the best water you have ever tasted and a tourist information centre. A ten minute walk from the house across the vineyards is the nearest wineries, where the excellent local rose may be stolen for 5 Euros a bottle. On a clear day you can see the Mediterranean from the village.
During the Summer we rent from Saturday to Saturday.

A very nice spot with a great pool
We had a very nice and relaxing time - in particular the great pool did help over the quite hot daytime around noon. Great fun for the children and us. The little town Figanières is sweet and pretty, the small bakery there is actually very good. Great service is provided by the very kind Philippe who comes around each morning to take care of the pool - in particular his pizza extraordinary. We are very happy with our choice and would recommend this place warmly.

Great vacation home
We stayed a week with friends and their kids. The house is great and spacious, the location is quiet but close enough to a bakery and supermarket. The pool and poolside are absolutely stunning and worthwhile the visit.

Formidable séjour en famille
Si vous cherchez une maison de vacances où vous pourrez vous détendre entre amis et en famille et profiter de l'autre et de la beauté de la Provence... ne cherchez pas plus loin ! nous avons apprécié cette grande villa pendant 14 jours avec des chambres spacieuses, 3 salles de bains (luxe) une grande cuisine avec tout ce dont vous avez besoin, une belle terrasse avec le soleil du matin mais seulement de l'ombre (idéal) De plus, cette villa dispose d'une piscine fantastique où il c'était bien de se rafraichir... La villa est située dans les belles collines de Provence... se réveiller avec les oiseaux et s'endormir au son des grillons... on ne peut que fortement recommander ce villa!

Why they chose this property

Villa Serendipity has the perfect quiet and secluded location tucked in the Provencal foothills, 30 minutes' drive from the French Riviera and an hour from Nice airport.
Thirty minutes drive to the north, you are surrounded by serious mountains -- the gorge at the Parc Natural Regional Du Verdun is world class spectacular. There’s plenty of water sports, hiking and skiing (in winter) in the area.
Serendipity is a spacious, gated home surrounded by vineyards, farmland and woodland offering great views across the valley and the mountains beyond. With a large, secluded private swimming pool, extensive grounds and charming villages all around, many visitors don't stray far.

What makes this property unique

The house is great to host groups such as an artists' retreat and cyclists, particularly those stopping along the EuroVelo 8 Mediterranean Route, which passes close to the property. The nearest winery is a beautiful ten minute walk. The grounds are large enough for epic games of petanque. The pool is significantly larger than most private pools but still accessible to the youngest and oldest because of the shallow sloped area at one end.
