Apartment with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden, Swimming Pool
La Marjolaine is a pretty villa set in the countryside of the central Var, less than 30 minutes from the beaches of the Cote D'Azur and also less than 30 minutes from the stunning Gorge du Verdon and close to many delightful villages that abound in this area. It is set in a calm, quiet area only minutes from vineyards and many degustation opportunities!
The apartment forms the whole lower floor of the house, opening directly onto the pool area with large patio and garden area for long, lazy days relaxing. There is a private BBQ area and ample space for covered car parking, with your own entrance to the grounds and to the apartment. There are lovely views over the vineyards to the Maures hills. We are completely private and not overlooked at all.

Local activities in and around Les Arcs, Cote d'Azur/Provence
The Villa is ideally situated just 5 minutes from exit 36 (St Tropez/Draguignan) on the A8 Autoroute du Soleil, and only 45 minutes drive from Nice Airport. Less than 30 minutes south are the beautiful mediterranean beaches of the Cote D'Azur, with St Maxime being the closest. Here can also be found a large variety of restaurants and bars, and access to all kinds of watersports and activities associated with beach life. St. Tropez is normally a 45 minute drive around the coast, but a pleasanter journey is to take the ferry across from St. Maxime. These operate aproximately every 15 minutes in the sumer months.
Driving about 30 minutes north will find you in the stunning region of the Gorge Du Verdon, (see link below) second only to the Grand Canyon in scale and beauty. Within a 1 hour radius, you can find yourself in Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins, Nice and Monaco to the East, while West will lead you to Aix-en-Provence, Marseilles, Toulon. There are numerous medieval vilages in the area, all offering typical Provencal charm and beauty,
Of course, we are in the centre of the Provence vineyards, and within a 15 minute driving radius there are too many local vineyards and wineries to list. Suffice to say, you will not be disappointed if Winetasting is your passion!
Quite close by you can go horseriding, canoeing, fishing, and there are 6 superb Golf courses within an hours drive, with the best being only 10 minutes away! This also boasts a very comfortable Spa, so maybe partners can indulge in both!
In short, you can satisfy most interests easily within a short drive from the villa. Should you wish to just chill out and relax, the house is set in a delightfully calm, quiet area, and the pool and surrounding patio is completely private and secluded, and is ideal for quiet lazy days improving the tan or reading under the Olive trees.
From the Autoroute A8, take exit 36 (Draguignan/St Tropez). After exiting the Toll, take first left after appx. 500m, direction Vidauban. Turn rt. into Chemin des Valises after appx 1 km.
