About this property

18th century restored stone house in a large mature garden with 360 degree views

Le Mas du Vieux Moulin is a beautifully restored 6 bedrooms / 5 bathrooms authentic dry stone house, set in un-spoilt Provence hinterland but within easy reach of the vibrant towns and beaches of the French Riviera.

It boasts a beautiful 15-meter infinity pool, stunning 360 degrees views and a large private garden ensuring total privacy with the extra convenience of being within walking distance to the village.

Set on a hillside with stunning panoramic views towards the valley, the mountains and the medieval village of Seillans (voted one of 20 of the most beautiful villages in France by The Guardian in April 2019), the property was originally a farmhouse. It is now a gorgeous family retreat, which comfortably accommodates 6 to 8 adults and their children.

The house has been restored and furnished with attention to detail to retain its authentic charm and grace with the added comfort of air-conditioning throughout. Inside the house, the original large wooden beams have been preserved and lots of care has been put into choosing the right materials from the rustic wooden floors and shutters to the large stone tiles and spiralling stairway. Two stone terraces surround the house, one with a lounge area for relaxation, the other with a table and chairs for al fresco dining.

Naturally centred around outdoor living, the property has a stunning 15-meter infinity pool set in an acre of garden planted with olive trees, lavender, sweet-smelling bushes and old pine trees. The large pool deck is equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas and a covered lounge area but guests might prefer to take a siesta in the hammock under the shade of the property’s mature trees. An invitation to unwind, provencal-style, the house also offers its own private “terrain de petanque”.

The house, boasting a stunning 360-degree view, offers its guests a private hideaway in a quiet and authentic setting. It is hard to believe that one is only a few minutes walk to the village’s cobblestone streets.

Provence tends to be seen as a summer destination but with its mild climate, so much to do in the area and our spacious interiors, our house is a comfortable getaway destination for friends and families at all time of year.

Perfect stay
Absolutely gorgeous villa! My family and I have visited the South of France every summer for the last 15 years and this is one of the best villas we have ever stayed at. Karine was a wonderful host and her house manager Camelia was very helpful. The amenities are exactly what you need for a perfect holiday and the view is to die for, we will hopefully be back again very soon!

Amazing stay
I cannot speak highly enough about our stay in this home in Seillans. From booking with Karine, to checking in and out with Caroline, it was perfect. Caroline was always available to answer questions and give suggestions on places to visit. We enjoyed the property and it’s quiet location. The pool was a wonderful area to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of the village. Caroline was able, ahead of time, to set us up with a wonderful Chef that was available to cook several meals for our family of 9 ( including a 3 and 7 year old). Her name is Louis and she was wonderful. We spent most of our time outside, but there is a very nice dining area inside adjacent to the kitchen. And plenty of room and comfortable furniture in the living room area. So, if you are looking for a beautiful hillside home this is the perfect place for you!

Home away from home.
From the moment we entered the property, it was everything we hoped for and more. The home was beautifully decorated in the style of French country, with a touch of well defined contemporary and perfect in every way. The living room was spacious and seated all of us comfortably. The kitchen and dining room served us well, with all of the meals we enjoyed at home. There are plenty of outdoor seating areas on the property to enjoy alfresco dining, or just a casual glass of wine. It is absolutely necessary to rent a car, prior to your arrival, to be able to travel the French countryside and visit neighboring villages. Most of the bedrooms are on the second floor with a fabulous ascending staircase, so be mindful of that. Two of the guests were 80 and had no problem. I have nothing, but positive things to say about renting this property. The system in Seillans of disposing your garbage is an experience, so be prepared! One must pack the trunk of your car with what ever needs to be discarded and drive it down the road to the recycle/disposal bins and one by one drop the bottles into the disposal. At first we thought this is crazy compared to our system of curbside pickup, but after we accepted this to be just the way it's done, we found it a humorous experience that was one to tell the tale of. Love the home and loved the experience. It's off the beat and track from the touristy places and that worked well for us. Don't miss the neighboring wineries! The tasting is free

Our Trip to Seillans
We had an amazing stay at the house. It was in a beautiful surrounding village with plenty to do. Cannes and Nice are not too far in the car to which we regularly visited and the property owners and staff were there if we needed anything. We will most definitely be returning, the house was absolutely beautiful and most definitely covered all our needs.

The perfect French holiday home!
We absolutely loved Karine's property! The house is beautiful, exactly as described and just such a relaxing place to be. We travelled as a family with 3 children aged 6 and 8 and a 6 month old baby. The children room in the attic is perfect and there was everything available we needed for the baby (travel cot, baby bath, high chair etc). The communication pre-arrival was fantastic and the check in seamless. The only slight issue was that the air-conditioning did not work in one of the bedrooms, but Caroline (the manager) resolved this really efficiently, arranging for delivery of a portable AC unit. We had the most magical holiday and couldn't recommend this house enough.

Amazing property!!
Over the past many years, we have rented many homes during vacations across the US and Europe. Usually looking for higher end and larger homes to accommodate family and some friends. We have been fortunate that pretty much all homes have been excellent and at times amazing. Yet none compare to Karine’s home. It is exquisite! A place that you love the moment you arrive and find it hard to leave. It delivers comfort and luxury. As a super host, Karine was great from the start, helping us in any way we needed. Caroline who greeted us when arriving was equally great and helpful during the home walk through. Karine has an amazing gift setting up a home that feels truly luxurious yet very welcoming. That’s hard to do. We’ve been in homes that were luxurious but cold or sterile. Karine’s design details made us fell like this could be our home, and not like you’re intruding on someone else’s. Comforting and welcoming. The interior and exterior designs are stunning. Kitchen is great, with a large stove that for us as foodies was welcomed. Outdoor areas flowed well with the kitchen area, easy to walk in and out, sit in the very comfortable outdoor seating, eat at the fabulous outdoor dining. Loved the grill! We had 10 people there throughout, it never felt crowded. That flow between indoor and outdoor living takes full advantage of all the outdoor “zones” which are at multiple levels across the rolling hill, such as the play area, with ping pong table and Boules game. The infinity pool which is private with full view of the village. By the way, the views! Wow!! And, very private location while still easy walking to the village. Inside, the living room and dining area was extremely comfortable and with a (for those from the US) a Restoration Hardware like feel but better. Each bedroom unique, great bedding (slept very wee) and decor. Showers and toilets very comfortable. Washer and dryer easy to use, with an ample laundry room. Our only complaint is, a week was too short! Next time we will stay longer.

Not as advertised.
The home was lovely but we had no air conditioning for the first full week we were there. We complained to property manager upon arrival and she said she had solved problem because previous tenants had it set to HEAT. We ended up buying five fans so that we could sleep at night. When cleaning crew reported we had fans in each room the following Saturday, repairman was called and he spent four hours there and replaced a huge canister. I told Caroline upon departure that I felt we had a refund coming, but, of course, no response. House is in more remote area but it was a wonderful place to spend with nine family members. We would like to go back again in two years, but with lack of response from owner and property manager we will look elsewhere.

Beautiful stay in gorgeous area
Loved this house via vrbo pictures and it more than lived up. The style is in wonderful keeping with the history and environment. Great fun cooking, eating, and drinking the local wines in and outside the house. Sleeping arrangements extremely comfortable and the manager and cleaning crew were fabulous. Being able to walk into the village for the boulangerie and cafe as well as shopping are a big plus. Gardens, pool, bells from the village all magic. We visited many ‘villages perche’ in the area and enjoyed lovely markets and great outside restaurants. Highly recommend!

Fantastische plek!
Wij verbleven een week in dit fantastische huis. Gelegen in een waanzinnig grote tuin ligt dit volledig gerenoveerde huis. Het uitzicht is echt adembenemend. Het zwembad is met z'n 15 mrt groot. Het huis is ruim, koel ( maar heeft ook airco in elke kamer) en van alle gemakken voorzien. Alles is fantastisch onderhouden en ook het contact gedurende het verblijf was laagdrempelig en prettig. Een absolute aanrader!

The perfect dream house
This is the perfect house with the perfect views (yes 2 « views » not only one!!). It is like being in a dream. So peaceful yet walking distance from the village, amazingly renovated. The ideal get away from everything. Karine has done an incredible job in renovating this house to a perfect standard thinking of the details one will probably fail to think of. Her team is doing an incredible job to smoothen any issues we could have or challenges we might face. I will definitely come back!

Wonderful stay at Le Mas du Vieux Moulin
We recently rented the lovely Le Mas du Vieux Moulin with our close friends for a week to celebrate our milestone birthdays. We were 4 couples with 3 teenage kids: 11 people total. There was plenty of space for all of us and we never felt crowded. The whole interior of the house was very tastefully decorated: modern but comfortable. The rooms were airy and bright with wonderful views of the surrounding landscape. Beds were excellent. The bathrooms seemed all new and the entire house was very clean. The house was very well equipped: The enormous kitchen had an ample supply of dishes, glasses and utensils. The washer and dryer were welcome as was the rack for drying clothes outside. There were plenty of towels and high end soaps and lotions. The grounds were just beautiful and very well maintained. Star jasmine, lavender and sage plants are everywhere and gently scent the air. We used the large table just outside the kitchen multiple times a day. A huge infinity pool overlooks the beautiful village of Seillans. A large decked area surrounds the pool and has plenty of lounge chairs and covered seating. A ping pong table and petanque are at hand. The owner, Karine, was very responsive and helpful from the first interaction on. For example, she shared a link to beautifully compiled information about the house and surrounding area with tips for restaurants, excursions, etc. She had also made a restaurant reservation for us and recommended a chef to come over to cook a meal for us. The housekeeper, Caroline, was also very nice and helpful. She met us at the house when we arrived and promptly answered any questions we had during our stay. The Var region is very picturesque with its perched villages and green hills. There are several other villages nearby and many opportunities for sightseeing, hiking and biking. There are also several very good restaurants in Seillans that we dined in. Seillans was also a home of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. There are numerous pieces of their art to see in the tourism office. We all loved our visit and made many life memories. Everyone wished we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend Le Mas du Vieux Moulin and hope we get to visit again soon. Merci!

Fabulous Family Accommodation
Our family and their partners have just returned from an excellent two week holiday in Le Mas to celebrate my wife and my 60th birthday. We were a large family group of 8 adults and our 4 month old grandson and the accomodation was perfect for us all. The conversion of the old mill into a modern contemporary home has been beautifully done. The villa sits in a commanding location with terrific views over Seillans , which is a short walk away. It was hard to drag ourselves away from the pool area, but there are many lovely hill top villages in the area and we would certainly recommend a day trip to the Verdon Gorge for spectacular views. Our greatful thanks to Karine and Caroline for their help and advice during our stay.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
We stayed at Karine's property for 6 weeks this summer! It's was a magical experience and perfect in every way. The home, the view, the yard, the pool, the village - all of it was unbelievable! We loved the convenience of being able to walk into the center of the village to grab a pizza or just stroll through town every evening. We also walked to the grocery store right down the street almost everyday to pick up what we needed for the day's adventure. It was perfect! The view is something you can't get anywhere else. We could see for miles and also had a magnificent view of the village right from the pool! The location is wonderful for exploring all areas of the South of France and Provence. We traveled all over and were always happy to have this amazing, quiet and relaxing place to come home to at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

The house is in a stunning position with lovely views of the village and the valley. We loved the recovered wood and ironwork in the renovation. The pool is perfect. The owner and manager were great with communication and information on the property and surroundings was comprehensive.

Wunderschönes Haus in toller Landschaft
Wir haben unseren Osterurlaub in Karins und Vincents Haus verbracht. Das Haus liegt liegt wunderschön in der Nähe des Ortes Seillans in ruhiger Lage. Vom Haus hat man einen schönen Blick auf Seillans und die Landschaft. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr großzügig geschnitten. Es fehlt an nichts: In der Küche findet man alles, was man zum Kochen braucht. Sat TV, DVD Player und WLAN ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Der Garten ist sehr gepflegt und groß. Auf dem Grundstück sind überall Sitzmöglichkeiten. Das Haus ist insbesondere für Familien mit Kindern geeignet. Der Service von Karin, Caroline und Ouna war vorzüglich und außerordentlich freundlich. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. Vielen Dank Karin!
