About this property

Idyllic villa just outside the picturesque village of Claviers

You'll find the villa situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, commanding breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. It is just over ten minutes' walk from the splendid hilltop village of Claviers, and just over a couple of kilometers from Bargemon (voted one of the most beautiful villages in France). Nestled among terraced olive groves, with a spectacular infinity pool, the house enjoys a fabulous, secluded setting. Yet within 45 minutes to an hour you can be in the Côte d'Azur resorts, sunbathing on the white sands of Fréjus or La Nartelle beaches, kayaking in the Gorges du Verdon, or enjoying life in Cannes or St. Tropez.

The airports of Nice Côte d'Azur (1h) and Marseille Provence (1:45) are within easy reach.

The property itself is set in over an acre of terraced olive groves in a peaceful hillside location. The villa and grounds are South facing and enjoy maximum day-long sunshine throughout the year. A bamboo covered pergola provides the main terrace with shade for summer relaxation and dining.

The house is is equipped with a gas bbq, multiple sunbeds and garden furniture. The poolside has garden furniture, parasols and in the afternoon benefits from the shade provided by a large oak tree. The generous-sized overflow pool is 11m x 4m (with safety alarm), and is complemented by its own terrace, situated beneath the olive groves. A boules ground and extensive private gardens provide other opportunities for enjoyment during your stay.

The three bedrooms are over ground and first floors. There is a double and a twin on the first floor, and on the ground floor a double room with an additional single bed. Also on the ground floor is a fully-equipped kitchen and large open-plan living area, from which you can glimpse the pool on one side and enjoy the breathtaking views over the surrounding scenery on the other. Upstairs, in addition to the two bedrooms there is a toilet and, leading off the landing, a small "solarium" terrace with a coffee table and chairs, ideal for a morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or to enjoy a book with the green hills of the Var stretching into the distance as a backdrop.

There is ample parking over the property, comfortably enough for four cars.

A rambling garden path leads though the stepped olive groves onto a quiet country road, from which Claviers is approximately a 10-minute walk . Here you will find bars, restaurants, a boulangerie and a thriving boules scene...

Little piece of paradise

We had an amazing stay at Bastidon des Oliviers and couldn’t have wished for a better place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the south of France. The house is all you want for a relaxing stay (very accurately shown in the photos), with a beautiful garden, fresh pool, several terraces to enjoy food and drinks, and quiet and peaceful surroundings. There’s even a pétanque area! The bedrooms are comfortable, dark at night and as quiet as can be for a restful sleep. There’s a big book with local recommendations, and we could’ve easily stayed another week enjoying the beautiful nature and cute French towns. Also make sure to get some bread from the bakery in Claviers, which is the best baguette we’ve ever tried (and my boyfriend comes from France!) Communication with the host was very smooth, and although we didn’t have any problems, I’m sure they’d be able to solve it as soon as they can if the occur. Thanks so much for our wonderful week, would absolutely return.

Pure Bliss

Our family stay at this wonderfully peaceful villa turned out to just what we all needed. The villa is set amongst very ancient olive groves and looks over the hills of Bargemont. Our whole group were thoroughly relaxed within minutes of arrival with everything already in place. The infinity pool next to the house where you can look out over the hills is magical. Cannot wait to go back.

Peace, views and sunshine

It was just what we were looking for- a quiet and peaceful holiday with lovely views. Just over an hour from Nice airport, tucked up in the hills near pretty villages. The house was light and spacious, the pool had great views and we could walk to the boulangerie. Very helpful hosts and local contacts.

Fabulous location

We really loved our time at Bastidon des Oliviers villa. The accommodation, facilities, pool and setting were all excellent. We particularly appreciated the peace and quiet of the location and the proximity to Claviers and Bargemon - as well as the many other hilltop villages. We would definitely recommend both the villa and area and certainly hope to be back.

Lovely Villa in great setting

We had a really enjoyable stay at the villa. The setting is superb, with lovely views all round and the pool is delightful. The villa itself is very comfortable, extremely well equipped and furnished and very well looked after. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to provide information on how everything works as well as the local area and we very much appreciated the fact that they were on hand if needed. We would definitely return as the area is also very beautiful and has so much to offer.

Lovely

Spent a lovely week in Claviers. Ideal location to explore the many villages and not too far from the coast. Villa was very comfortable, loads of space inside and out. Owners on hand when we arrived to show us around and welcome us. The kitchen and bathrooms could do with a little updating, but that is only a little comment. Would highly recommend to others.

Brilliant vacation

My friends and I enjoyed one of our best ever holidays staying at the villa accommodation at Bastidon des Oliviers last summer. For us it ticked all the boxes for a perfect vacation. The villa was well located between two delightful villages – Clavier and Bargemon that provided an excellent choice of restaurants and comestibles – the morning stroll to get the bread and fruit in Clavier was a joy in itself. The villa was comfortable, excellently maintained and well equipped. We all particularly enjoyed the privacy offered and the views from the infinity pool. A brilliant holiday, we’ll be back for two weeks next time. SSJ Topsham, Devon.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a family of four who have settled on this place to enjoy its outstanding setting, the pool and the gardens and the surrounding area. We have traveled extensively around France over 20 years and this villa captures all of the things that we have loved and dreamed about during that time.

Why they chose this property

If like us you enjoy the climate, scenery, tranquility, food and wine of the South of France, then this is the ideal villa for you.

You will feel completely immersed in the countryside, breathing in every day some of the most breathtaking scenery that you'll ever see. From the villa you won't set eyes on another property - except the villages of Bargemon and Claviers clinging to the hillsides north and south.

In the evenings we like to walk on the quiet back path into Claviers to enjoy the bar or the excellent restaurants, or to pick up a pizza to bring back to the villa. In the mornings we repeat for our croissants and bread.

But you might want to hop in the car down to the coast in an hour, whether white sandy beaches or resort towns of Cannes or St Tropez, or to kayak in the Gorges du Verdon or even in the Winter head up the hills for some skiing.

What makes this property unique

A stunning setting most of all from the terrace and pool, and a location that feels completely secluded. But in just over 10 minutes' walk you'll find restaurants, a local bar, a mini grocery store and much more.
