A home in the hills

La Garde-Freinet has attracted many Scandinavians and other Europeans over the year looking to escape the heat and traffic of its more famous neighbours: St. Tropez and Ramatuelle. You are 25 minutes from both of these and 15 minutes (if you use the shortcuts) from the beach. Temperatures cool as you rise in to the hills and you are within walking distance of the provencal village with its picture perfect square.

This is an unpretentious property that invites its guests to relax. The kitchen is open and very much a part of the living space. Dining can take place either indoors or out and there are four en suite bedrooms in total. The pool is not large but perfect for a cool dip and the house is ideal for families. Lots of walking and eating possibilities for fans of these pursuits.
