The “La Lavande” studio apartment is modern, open, yet cosy. Step through the stylish wooden door into your enchanting retreat. You’re sure to feel right at home the moment you arrive!

In the bright entryway with a coat rack, you can conveniently set down your bags. The very well-equipped, open-concept kitchen offers everything you need to prepare a delicious French meal. Of course, it features an induction cooktop with oven, a refrigerator with freezer compartment, a dishwasher, and a Nespresso machine. But the small kitchen appliances—such as a hand mixer, toaster, electric kettle, pans, pots, and baking dishes—along with plenty of kitchen utensils and tableware, offer you the best opportunities to let your creativity run wild in the kitchen. The counter, which can be used from both sides as a work surface or dining table, is perfect for cooking together.
The cosy sleeping area is located on the north side. Here, the comfortable 180-cm-wide box-spring bed ensures a restful night’s sleep. Built as a frame around the bed, the built-in closet offers plenty of storage space for your belongings. The bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower, has an elegant, modern design and is equipped with ample storage for your toiletries. Of course, you’ll have access to free Wi-Fi and a TV with many German-language and international channels.
In front of the living area is the furnished south-facing terrace, shaded by a Topazienne—a traditional Provençal structure. Here, you can enjoy your meals in peace and let your mind wander.
Whether you’re relaxing on the sunny Bellevedère, on your own terrace by the house, or on one of the other terraces and open spaces on the property; swimming in the 12-meter pool; or exploring the property’s hill with its small forest trails, clearings, and open spaces: From everywhere, you’ll have an unobstructed and spectacular view of the surrounding hills, and from the higher areas, all the way to the sea.
Thanks to the size of the property, you can continually discover new, beautiful spots where you can unwind and enjoy the diverse flora and fauna.
A private organic wastewater treatment system purifies the wastewater without chemicals, and our excellent, natural fresh water comes from a 160-meter-deep natural spring on the property.
Approximately 20 m from the house is the 12 x 6 m pool, which is between 1.10 m and 1.80 m deep. There’s plenty of space here for swimming, playing, and splashing around. Surrounding the pool are spacious terraces with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas. Our pool house offers a sheltered, shaded area with seating and a table.
Below the pool is our recently renovated boules court (pétanque) with another furnished terrace under palm trees—yet another spot to enjoy.
You can park your car conveniently and securely in our large car park.
