Maison Font d'Eilenc is a villa with stunning views over the Lac de Sainte-Croix in the heart of the National Parc du Verdon.
Reached down a small lane at the foot of a delightful village, the villa has 4 double bedrooms, a wide terrace with BBQ overlooking the lake, and a very large private swimming pool set in a hectare of gardens surrounded by pine trees and oak forest.
About the Villa:
The house is in two parts, separated by a large covered terrace, with BBQ and garden furniture and a truly splendid view over the lake. In the main house there is
- A large beamed sitting room with wood burning stove and dining area (48sqm),
- Modern kitchen
- Master bedroom with its own bathroom and separate toilet.
To the other side of the terrace are
- Three independent double bedrooms, each with their own shower room and toilet, and their own direct access out onto the garden facing the lake.
- There are also two single beds that can easily be moved into any of the bedrooms as needed.
The gardens slope away towards the lake to a second tier, reached by a few stone steps, where there is a large pool (16m x 6m), bordered by lavender and two olive trees! Equipped with loungers, parasols and pool toys, it set in an orchard surrounded by trees. The pool has an alarm but no barrier, and may be unsuitable for very small children. Below the sitting room, is the garden room which houses a second fridge-freezer and washing machine.
Within walking distance – of about 10 minutes – is the tiny village of Aiguines, which has no less than 4 restaurants, a small grocers, bakery and the delightful ‘Autour de la Table’ selling local and home made produce and a selection of hand picked wines! Overlooking the village is the glorious 17th century Chateau, with its decorative roof tiles and Romanesque bell tower.
The house is set in a remarkable area, the National Parc du Verdon. The Gorges, only a few kilometres away is known as the mini Grand Canyon, and two roads weave dizzyingly to the North and South of it, clinging to the cliff edges. The southern road, known as the Corniche Sublime, starts its climb from the village of Aiguines itself, so it really is on your doorstep! The Lac Ste. Croix, with miles of excellent swimming or sailing is a short drive down the mountain side. Pedalos and canoes can be hired for venturing up the amazing blue waters of the Gorges du Verdon. For more challenging activities, such as paragliding and rock climbing, information can be found in the local tourism office in Aiguines. Over the Galatas bridge, 15km away, is the medieval village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, known for its Fayence pottery, and its dramatic setting in the rocks of the Gorges. 20km or so away is the bustling market village of Aups, where you will find all your shopping needs. Wednesday and Saturday are market days, full of local produce and colourful stalls, and there is a supermarket on the outskirts of the village.
Nearer still, down by the lake is the village of Les Salles-sur-Verdon, which has a butcher’s and many other shops and its own lively market day on Thursdays.
The nearest main town is Draguignan - 50 km away, which is serviced by Les Arcs train station – 15 minutes by car outside of the town.
The sea and beaches of St Tropez, or Sainte-Maxime are between 1 and a half to 2 hours drive away, (depending on the seasonal traffic down by the coast!), and easily manageable for a day trip. But despite the numerous activities, and places to see, you will find it difficult to leave the poolside of your own villa
