Charming Chic, secluded villa within walking distance from Lorgues

Escape to your own charming secluded villa in the Var nestled in 10 acres of land and olive trees . The classic sun-kissed Provençal stone Villa is full of charm, and convenientally located just over an hour from Nice and Marseille airports, and 20 miles from St Tropez and the French Riviera. Featuring stunning terraces for al fresco dining, private swimming pool with a fabulous new Summer Kitchen, and spacious gardens with scents of Provence. All bedrooms have air conditioning and the oldest part of the house recently renovated with designer bathrooms.

Beautiful shading mulberry trees and plants adorn the tiered terracing outside the house, along with a wonderfully large covered area for al fresco relaxation, outside seating and dining tables that can cater for twenty. On the other side of the house, you can relax in the shade of a large pool house which overlooks the unusually shaped beautiful pool . There is a 9 meter pool house with a new summer kitchen - housing an outdoor Liebherr fridge/freezer, dish washer and Weber BBQ and even an Ooni pizza oven. You can relax and unwind or if you prefer play Ping Pong adjacent to the pool house.

The house itself has five bedrooms (3 en-suite) as well as four bathrooms and a separate cloakroom - making Mas Dinina the perfect place to holiday with family or friends. In addition nestled in the grounds is a fabulous romantic cabin with a king size bed and en suite bathroom. This also is perfect addition for yoga/meditation space as well as overflow accommodation.

All bedrooms have the benefit of newly installed reverse cycle air conditioning units to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Guests have access to the whole property exclusively. We have re wilded the land, encouraging rare flora and fauna and beautiful wild flower meadows. This is contrasted against beautiful dramatic landscaping adjacent to the house. The Villa is surrounded by a 20,000 sq.m olive grove of which you can roam.

Lorgues can be found in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France, in the middle of an abundance of vineyards and fields of olive trees. It is situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Gorges du Verdon, so you are in the perfect position (only 40 minutes) to enjoy the Riviera beaches and glamour or the breathtaking scenery and adventures of France’s greatest canyon.

Lorgues is a small fortified provençal town, with its tight-packed streets, medieval towers, fountains and St Martin church whose grey stones glow pink as the sun sets. Many of its buildings are painted in a multitude of Provençal colors with contrasting shutters which create the perfect backdrop to the most popular and largest market in the area.

There are two large supermarkets, a plethora of bakeries and banks, newsagents, chemists, bars and cafés.

There are also plenty of restaurants that will cater for all your holiday needs, ranging from France’s finest truffle Michelin-starred restaurant (Chez Bruno) to more modest local Provençal fare and pizzerias. Almost every direction you go there is a vineyard, producing its own local wines and ready for tasting!

Mas Dinina is only a few minutes drive to the centre of Lorgues.
