The domaine:
The quiet residential domain of St Pierre, just 3km from Tourtour, offers a safe and varied environment for a family holiday. There are 4 tennis courts (book-able in July/August), a 24 x 12m communal swimming pool with changing rooms and showers, a beautiful ornamental lake and many lovely walks. There are also two restaurants within walking distance of the house.
We carried out a number of improvements to the property in 2008, including:
- doubling the size of the main terrace, so there is now a pleasant, shady sitting-out area overlooking the pool as well as the original dining area;
- adding a small lawned area on the far side of the pool for extra sunlounging space;
- terracing and planting the hillside below the pool to create a delightful lower terrace from which to enjoy the view and catch the early morning and late evening sun;
- upgrading the pool and patio furniture so that guests can relax in even more style and comfort!
Local attractions:
La Caille-Perdrix is the ideal base from which to explore this unspoilt part of Provence. Local attractions include: mountain biking, riding, fishing and golf; the spectacular Gorges de Verdon, France's answer to the Grand Canyon, with rock climbing, canoeing and white-water rafting; the Lac St Croix for swimming, sailing, windsurfing and boating activities; in the winter, skiing just 2 hours away at Isola and Val d'Allos. And, for the less adventurous: many pretty villages, including Salernes famous for its tiles and Moustiers for its decorative porcelain; lively Provencal markets, antique/craft fairs, art exhibitions, concerts and fetes; an excellent choice of restaurants, ranging from the local tabac, to those with a Michelin star; wine-tasting in the many domaines in the area producing Cote Varois; the coast (not to mention the night-life) at St Maxime and St Tropez. And for those who wish to do simply nothing at all, this is also the perfect place to relax and unwind.
