Item Description

You’ve never visited France like this before. Immerse yourself in a completely unique experience as you spend a week in an original 12th century home, lovingly restored and updated to preserve the historical character and family heritage of the space. Originally part of a cloister, this home possesses a rich history: it once housed an industrial horticulture business, as well as a nougat production space before becoming a family home. Situated in the quaint, historic village of Ollioules near Toulon, off the Côte d’Azur, you’ll be transported back in time with all the comforts of modern-day living.

Explore the best of southern France; you’ll be perfectly poised to linger peacefully or head out on an adventure. Hop over to nearby Sanary-sur-Mer to promenade along the harbor and see the historic boats, or take a tour of Bandol and its surrounding vineyards to sample some of the most prestigious wines in all of France (the rosé is a must-try!) Beaches abound with no shortage of water fun, not to mention neighboring castles, charming villages, and countless cafes offer a vacation like no other.

After a full day of exploring, head back to your home base for a quiet and relaxing evening. Featuring exceptional arched spaces, swings in the vaulted living room, and four different floors with a central staircase, this is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind space where hidden treasures abound. With four bedrooms each on a different floor, lack of privacy is never an issue for your 7 or 8 guests. Meet up for meals in the updated kitchen or take your morning croissant out on the terrace. Don’t miss this chance for an unexpected stay in a wonderful location comfortably settled between ancient and modern times.
