The Village House:
The accommodation is on three floors.
The ground floor comprises a large bedroom with two single beds, a bathroom with bathtub, shower, sink & toilet, a sitting room (which can be used for additional sleeping space - extra beds in storage) and a utility room.
The first floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and fireplace. There is a double bedroom and bathroom equipped with power shower, sink & toilet.
The top floor - a large living room with fireplace leading to the roof terrace overlooking the valley and lake beyond.
We have now refurbished the two floor apartment directly below the house, which, whilst it is the same building, has a separate entrance. Large beamed living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. Ideal for friends or teenagers who want a little independence. Price negotiable and photos available.
The Location:
Callian - one of a string of fortified medieval villages - an ideal place to sample authentic French life and a convenient base from which to visit the many attractions of Provence. The nearest beaches are thirty minutes away; the nearest watersports at the Lac St Cassien, literally down the road. The famous Gorges du Verdon is an hour's drive west - Monte Carlo, an hour's drive east.
The Village:
Callian. Of course, the village has its 'petanque' pitch as well as a friendly tennis club. From May-September the streets, whilst never overcrowded, buzz with ambiance - frequent 'fetes', open-air movies and busy bar terraces. In the spring, mild, sunny days, in the autumn, delicious game dishes, truffles and cepes, and in winter, the cosy comfort of log fires. Within a five minute walk of the house you find the bakers, butchers, grocers, newsagent, post office, bars and restaurants. Within a ten minute drive, a Farmers Market, two supermarkets and a large choice of restaurants and specialty shops.
Ski:
Winter Season: Skiing/Tobogganing – Gréolières Les Neiges is the nearest resort and only one hour from Callian. Relaxed and informal. Drive to Mons, then RN85 and follow the signs. All equipment and clothing can be rented. Ski passes very reasonable. No charge for tobogganing on the lower slopes. Suggested return journey via Gourdon and Grasse.
