Laze in the pool, nibble olives from the market, gaze over Provence. Inside, English meets classic French. Fabulous for families

Set up the barbecue, take dinner under the pergola and absorb the panorama; it swoops south to the Massif des Maures and ends in the Mediterranean. This spacious, secluded, 18th-century house, its thick walls oblivious to summer’s heat, stands in eight acres at the top of a long track.

There’s masses of space to spread out in two sitting rooms, two terraces, and a summer kitchen so it couldn’t be better for families and those wishing to escape the hubbub. You’ll find peaceful walks among the terraced olives and pines.

Enjoy the hinterland of the Var: the market comes on Tuesdays to medieval Lorgues (5km). Take a coffee in the town's dappled shade; stop off for wines at Château Les Crostes. And if you fancy a day on the beaches, head off for the Riviera; lovely St Maxime and Fréjus are less than an hour away.

Crispin & Trikia Holworthy:

  • You’re 5 km from Lorgues with its picturesque streets, squares, fountains & shops. You’ll find many restaurants & cafés offering delicious Provençal cuisine. There’s fine dining at Château de Berne & the famous Bruno... a truffle inspired restaurant
  • Provence is famous for its produce, so you'll love Lorgues’ bustling Tuesday market. You can buy baskets, clothes, pottery & much, much more. Sample local produce & choose from an array of delicious food to take home & eat under the shade of the pergola
  • The Var region is full of pretty villages to explore. Well worth visiting is picturesque Cotignac, Salernes famous for its potteries, hilltop Tourtour known as ‘the village in the sky' & Entrecasteaux with its stunning Château ... to name just a few
  • The sandy beaches around Sainte Maxime & Frejus are the nearest & only 45 minutes away. Have lunch in one of the beach restaurants and relax on sunbeds. Or from Sainte Maxime take the ferry across the bay to Saint Tropez & mingle with the rich & famous
  • North in 50 minutes the unspoilt turquoise Lac St Croix with villages, beaches for swimming & picnicking is a must to visit. Hire a pedalo, kayak or electric boat & venture up the stunning, breathtaking Gorges du Verdon at the end of the lake.
  • Lorgues is in the middle of the famous wine making region of Côtes de Provence. Nearby there are many vineyards to visit for tasting & buying the excellent wines ... including Château Les Crostes & the renowned Château de Berne both just 15 minutes away

"We have recently stayed at Bastide Oleander as a family group of ten. The whole holiday was superb and the house is beautifully furnished and every detail has been thought of. The bedrooms are comfortable, the linen is excellent and the house is immaculately clean and well maintained. The pool is perfect and was checked and cleaned during our stay too. The setting is dramatic and the nearby town of Lorgues is fascinating and the Tuesday market is a must. It is like staying in the home of a friend who has provided everything one could possibly wish for. "

"We have just enjoyed a wonderful two-week stay at Bastide Oleander. The house is beautifully appointed, well maintained and afforded excellent space for two couples. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms together with solid floors and walls meant we all enjoyed comfort, privacy and sleep. We spent most of our time enjoying the gorgeous pool and eating outside. The hilltop position afforded wonderful views, 180 degree skies and a lovely breeze that was welcome in the heat of July. We enjoyed the Lorgue market, excellent local restaurants and trips to pretty villages. Trikia and Crispin are lovely too."

"Bastide Oleander lives up to expectations. It is well appointed and has gorgeous white cotton bedlinen in every room. We joked frequently about the well kitted kitchen. We thought we had found them out on a couple of occasions, "what, no ice cream scoop, what, no rolling pin?!" but everything we needed was there if we just looked. The view from the house and garden is just breathtaking and we and our guests rarely wanted to do anything other than relax, eat, drink, dip in the pool and soak up the view. Be prepared for the long rubbly drive to the house: but worth it for the view and seclusion."

"We had a wonderful and very memorable holiday at Bastide Oleander, and are already looking at dates to go back next year! The house is beautiful, the pool and outdoor areas are brilliant and three generations were very comfortably housed in the pretty bedrooms and well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The surrounding area is beautiful, the coast is an easy drive, there are lovely markets to visit almost every day, special restaurants, and lots to do should you desire to leave the pool, which we hardly did! Really a brilliant holiday, we have no criticisms at all. "

"Bastide Oleander is a beautiful house in a lovely location. The house is superbly well equipped, absolutely everything we needed was to hand. The outside areas and the pool are first rate and the location is quiet and secluded. This part of France is beautiful and we particularly liked the Gorge du Verdon and the pretty villages and towns all within a 50km radius of the house. Our party of eight adults were very comfortable in the property which is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and well maintained. We would definitely recommend it."

"Bastide Oleander was a wonderful house with lots of character and wonderful views! It was the perfect place for our family to get together, with plenty of space, places to eat, great pool & facilities-and only a short distance from Lorgues! We loved it ! We would recommend it!"

"Bastide Oleander is a spacious, magical villa seemingly without neighbours in a marvellous setting with spectacular views. We (8 of us) never ate indoors even once! A first rate pool. It is rare to find such a special holiday rental with quality fixtures and fittings - usually I can't wait to get back to my own bed, not on this holiday. We were lucky enough to meet Triskia and Crispin who were so warm and welcoming - providing personal suggestions from restaurants to shopping! We would recommend this villa and hope we can return as we have such special memories of our family holiday."

"Bastide Oleander is stunning. If the property has not featured in the pages of an Interiors magazine already then it really ought to! The beautiful french- style decor and attention to detail is outstanding. The setting is charming and our children enjoyed the swimming pool on a daily basis. The most special place we have ever stayed."
