Stylish village houses with private gardens
The Main House has been the subject of a complete renovation and provides a stylish interior, where contemporary comfort blends with the traditional features of this seventeenth century former olive mill. The acacia-shaded dining terrace winds down to further terraces and a most attractive decked plunge pool. There is a table-tennis table at the very bottom of the garden, under the twelfth-century Saracen tower. The Small House, perfect for a romantic getaway, is set back from its neighbour with its own private garden. Both houses used to be in the grounds of the former Chateau, since replaced by La Chapelle de Notre Dame, and are tucked away in the oldest part of Aups. Guests enjoy the convenience of walking the couple of minutes to the Boulangerie then breakfasting in the seclusion of their own garden before setting out (or not!) to explore the beauty of this special corner of Provence.

The friendly market town of Aups, with a population of 1800, retains a medieval village atmosphere whilst providing essential services to the area; Credit Agricole bank, pharmacy, doctor's surgery, supermarket, boulangeries, boucheries, and a good selection of restaurants. The winding narrow streets with their ancient flower bedecked houses are fascinating to explore. Aups is a 20min drive to the wild and dramatic Gorges du Verdon - the deepest gorge in Europe - and the Lac de St Croix, for swimming or wind surfing in its brilliant turquoise blue waters. Terraced vineyards, olive groves and pine forests surround the town whilst the pretty neighbouring villages of Cotignac, Villecroze or Tourtour are all delightful to visit and discover on foot. Further afield Aix-en-Provence, St Tropez or Cannes and the beaches of the Cote d'Azur are just over an hours drive. Low cost airlines serve Marseille, Toulion and Nice. High speed train station at Aix en Provence TGV.

Aups reverts to a working agricultural village off season and this can be an ideal time to visit. Often with warm sunny winter days but sharp temperature falls at night. The famous winter black truffle market on Thursdays, the regular produce markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays - there always seems to be some activity taking place in the main 'Place' under the plane trees.
