Callas is perched on a hill that faces down to the coast 30 kms away. Drive through vineyards and winding roads to this truly traditional little village, with small squares (including the central market square), fountains, the ruins of a 13th-century chateau above & a working olive mill below. The medieval streets include wider, stone step-streets & narrow, arched passages. There are many other hilltop villages to visit nearby, including popular Bargemon 6km away (galleries, arts & crafts, numerous restaurants). Drive to the nearest Riviera beaches in 30 mins- you are in easy reach of lively Ste Maxime or St Raphael, & even chic St Tropez. Alternatively head inland for lake/mountain pursuits (including famous Gorges de Verdon & Lac Ste Croix) & skiing (Val d’Allos, Isola etc.). Golf & spa 15 mins away. Delight in the local restaurants and many other activities (listed). La Machotte is an hour from Nice/ Toulon airports (slightly longer to Marseilles) or half hour to Frejus car train.
