A three storey house and garden with sea glimpses in the 'vieux village' named for the Mimosa trees which flower in profusion in winter

Just below a ruined medieval castle in the oldest part of the village, the house has 12th-century roots. It's a family home with nooks for reading one of the many books in the library, or writing in the study and lots of steps, staircases and landings. The master bedroom on the first floor is spacious and airy with a great view, the others are a floor above and smaller with beams but there are sea views from all.

Meals in the terraced garden are under a riot of subtropical flowers and trees, with birdsong by day and cigales on summer evenings - no traffic noise. The kitchen is well equipped and on the first floor next to the dining area. Shops, bars, a weekly market, good restaurants (and tourists) are a 10-minute walk along narrow streets with vaulted arches.

Spend happy days at stunning sandy beaches (15 minutes by car) with a picnic, or wander round lively marinas spotting yachts.

  • 12th Century village house set in a hilltop village with views across The Mediterannean. Once owned by a renowned Artist and has been in our family for 25 yrs. Wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beaches, hiking, cycling and the lovely surroundings.
  • Beaches are approx 10 mins by car just down the hill to Le Lavandou, which is a lovely seaside town with all amenities and a large promenade. There are dozens of beautiful beaches along this coastline all with clear azure water and sandy beaches.
  • Bormes is well known for its wonderful gastronomic restaurants and local produce. Plenty of choices with lovely terraces, cafe culture and delicious cuisine. Art galleries, shops, historic buildings and churches, beautiful gardens and amazing views abound
  • A full Summer Cultural program with concerts at the Chateau, in the Churches and Squares, street fairs, street musicians, art exhibitions, the famous Mimosas Corso in Feb with flower-decked floats parading. A vibrant, friendly and active community.

  • Miles of hiking and mountain biking (hire in Le Lavandou) direct from the house. The wonderful wilderness of Massif des Maures stretches for miles behind the village providing beautiful trails to explore. Activities sailing, tennis, diving, windsurfing,
