Authentic restored sheepfold surrounded by century-old olive trees


Located in the heart of the Pays de Fayence, Cannes, Saint Tropez, Nice and Monaco, near the village of Seillans classified "one of the most beautiful villages in France", to the east of the Var, our property, 'LA BOUGANE' is in the center of a centenary olive grove.

The medieval village of Seillans is ranked among the most beautiful villages in France with its famous restaurants, shops and cobbled pedestrian streets.

You will stay in a 4000 m2 garden in terraces planted with olive trees, oaks and cherry trees, located on the Route de Bargemon, 1.5 kilometers from the village.

You can also enjoy the proximity of the famous Côte d'Azur with its beaches, museums, via the Cannes Croisette, Cap d'Antibes, the Promenade des Anglais in Nice and the Royal Casino in Monaco in an hour. .
Without forgetting, of course, the jewel of the jet set and Brigitte Bardot: Saint-Tropez and the Pampelone beaches.

In this magnificent restored villa of 140 m2, with all the comfort and charm of Provence, in the peace and in the middle of the forest, you will spend your holidays surrounded by olive trees and by a superb swimming pool.

The house on one level, consists of a very large living room and a large American kitchen, 3 bedrooms each with a sink, as well as a large bathroom with garden view window, bathtub -shower and storage. The toilets are independent.
The romantic master bedroom is equipped with a queen-size bed, a television with DVD player, a closet, a chest of drawers, a dressing table and a sink.
The other two bedrooms are equipped with 2 single beds each, cupboard, chest of drawers and sink.
The kitchen is equipped with a double sink, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a fridge-freezer ****, an electric oven, a microwave, a filter coffee maker, a Krups coffee machine, all the crockery and the necessary storage.
In addition, you have an additional freezer located in the garage.

A detail that is very important:
In summer, the living room is equipped with powerful wide-vane air conditioning calculated for the whole house and the 3 bedrooms are fitted with ceiling fans.
The house is very well insulated, the freshness is guaranteed!
For the winter, each room is heated by an electric convector and of course, there is a fireplace and an insert.

Free WIFI access in the house.

Magnificent exposed beams will immerse you, as soon as you arrive, in a Provencal atmosphere.

The living room opens onto a large terrace tiled in travertine marble and shaded by canisses with a breathtaking view of the villages of Seillans, Fayence and the Saint Arnoux mountain.
You can have lunch and dinner there to the sound of cicadas.
Towards the South on another terrace also tiled in travertine marble welcomes you with table tennis and table football and white lounge.
In the garden, a pretty round table with its stone benches, will be the ideal place for a Provençal aperitif or an afternoon snack.
Also in the garden, a little further, a volleyball or badminton net is at your disposal (rackets provided).

The swimming pool (11.50m x 5m) with magnificent views of the mountains, surrounded by large beaches is furnished with 2 lounges and 6 deckchairs, and also accommodates a basketball board.

You will have a wonderful stay in our beautiful property, La Bougane and we will be at your service and at your disposal so that these holidays are unforgetta

Wonderful family holiday
We stayed for a week with our three boys, 12,11 and 8. We had a wonderful time. The house was an perfect base for us all. We enjoyed time by the pool, on the terrace, the boys played table tennis and I loved the peacefulness of the house. All that and still within an hours drive to so much more. We visited the gorge du verdon, the beach and aqualand at Frejus, the water park at the nearby lake and markets in Fayence. Seillans is a very pretty village and we enjoyed a very pleasant family meal in the square one evening. Everything was communicated very well before check-in and we coordinated to meet Serge at the property on arrival. He was exceptionally helpful in making sure we had everything we needed and set up the pool area for us with cushions for sun loungers and pool toys for the kids. We initially were a bit surprised not to have a shower in the bathroom, only a bath, but this did not materialise to be a problem as there was also a very effective outdoor shower by the pool if you preferred. All the bedrooms also have their own sink and vanity unit which would be helpful if you had a number of adults sharing. Overall we had a really great week and we would be very happy to return.

Lovely stay in a quiet location !!
Gorgeous villa in Seillans! The pool area is beautiful and the house is great for a family of 6 or a group of friends. A car is definitely needed!! Although only a half an hour walk into Seillans village, it's very hilly and wouldn't be a good walk at night. The hosts were lovely and very quick to respond. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fantastic location and pool
Lovely old property, the open plan layout was very useful. The bedrooms are quite basic and we didn't have many towels but the kitchen area was well equipped and the seating area comfortable. The real joy of this place is the outside space: fabulous terrace with amazing views. A wonderful pool surrounded by olive trees with plenty of seating to follow the shade as the day progressed. And the basketball, volleyball, table football and table tennis were really appreciated by the children. Our host was very attentive and responded immediately to all messages.

Relaxing vacation in a French country home with a 5 star pool
We had two beautiful weeks in mid-July 2023 at this countryside house. It was just what we had hoped for, spacious and comfortable, in a quiet rustic location. We were delighted with the local village of Seillans, and also loved discovering other pretty historic villages in the area. We had delicious local restaurant meals (2 visits to La Gloire de Mon Pere for vegetable risotto!).This house was an ideal base for our day trips to nearby destinations (Grasse, Antibes, Gorges du Verdon, and more) and was the perfect refuge from the heat. The A/C and stunningly beautiful pool kept us happy and cool with many blissful days of not doing much at all - just our holiday rhythm. The kitchen was well-equipped with excellent appliances, cooking utensils, plenty of dishes and flatware, making it very easy to prepare meals. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio, under the shade of the bamboo awning in the mornings, and out in the open later in the evening when we could watch the stars appear. We applied mosquito repellant and burned citronella candles but couldn't escape some bites. Yet it was worth it to soak up as much French country as possible. It will make us happy during our long Canadian winters to remember our time in this special place. (Please note I mentioned a need for new pillows and towels to Claude and he was very gracious and intended to make necessary upgrades!) I recommend this vacation home to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway in a beautiful part of France.

A real gem of a place.
La Bougane is a home from home, very relaxing and such a beautiful spot. We had 4 nights here and the kids loved all the activities - the basketball, table football and ping pong were especially popular. I loved all the places to sit and relax. The terrace overlooking the pool and olive grove towards the mountains is very special and the view is one to remember. Claude was so helpful and on hand via text to answer any questions we had and was very helpful in getting the TV sorted so we could enjoy the Lionesses winning the Euros! The pool is just lovely and there is always a bit of shade to be found from the trees so that you can sit and relax and choose to be out of the full sun. We really enjoyed our time here and loved Seillans, had a great pizza in Fayance and two awesome days at Lac de St Cassien - such a beautiful place at La plage Americain. Thank you Claude and Aline, we had the best time!

A lovely, authentic home from home in Provence
The swimming pool is fantastic - it’s a great size and perfect for a family holiday. The villa is set out well and provided a comfortable home to stay in for 10 days while we explored the fantastic surroundings. It’s close to Nice (about 50 mins drive), the pretty local villages and the lake (15 mins drive), which has great water sports and activities - well worth a visit.

Rustic charm
We had a lovely relaxing week here. It is in a delightful spot, surrounded by trees. It is very peaceful but only a short drive into Seillans (which is a really charming little town). The large living / kitchen area is comfortable and attractive. Views in all directions are very nice. The pool is great and we all enjoyed spending a lot of time swimming and playing games. The property comes with a selction of board games and toys for the pool. Our sons enjoyed the basketball hoop. We also had some intense family table-football and table tennis sessions. Worth noting that there is only one bathroom and a small separate toilet (although there are washbasins in all of the bedrooms). There is a bath with hand held shower nozzle but no shower unit. The property has real rustic charm and we felt very relaxed there but it is currently in need of some maintenance (eg peeling outside paint, wobbly paving slabs by pool, some broken sun loungers). The surrounding trees also mean quite a few mosquitos in the evenings (take some repellant).

A wonderful week at The Bougane House.
We spent a week at The Bougane house and enjoyed every minute. The house catered for all our needs, including our two young boys who enjoyed nothing more than jumping in and out of the pool for hours on end. The local village of Seillans is stunning and is well worth visit as are the surrounding villages. We're hoping to visit again soon.

Un havre de bien-être.
La maison de Claude (le propriétaire) fait partie de ces endroits où l’on se sent bien et immédiatement à l’aise. C’est à la fois simple et aménagé avec goût. La maison est équipée de tout le nécessaire, il n’y manque rien. La propreté est irréprochable et la literie très confortable. Le coin piscine est spacieux et le bassin de belles dimensions pour pouvoir y nager à son aise. L’endroit est particulièrement calme et approprié pour qui recherche un séjour loin des tumultes de la vie, tout en étant à quelques minutes en voiture du très joli village de Seillans. La communication avec Claude est rapide et efficace. Nous avons affaire ici à une personne de bon goût, très réactive et qui a soin de faire en sorte que le séjour se déroule pour le mieux. Il est à noter que Claude ne vit pas sur place, mais en cas de besoin il est possible de faire appel à Serge qui habite à quelques kilomètres de la propriété. Serge (que je salue ici) s’occupe de la remise des clés et entretient la piscine. Nous recommandons la maison de Claude et y reviendrions avec plaisir. Un grand merci pour tout, Claude.

Ruhe und Entspannung in der Natur, einfach wunderbar. Ein großes Haus mit 3 Schlafzimmern und vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten im Innen- wie im Außenbereich. Viele Freizeiteinrichtungen wie Volleyballnetz zwischen den Olivenbäumen, Tischtennisplatte und ein Kicker standen zur Verfügung. Der Pool war nicht beheizt. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet, vor allem gute und neue Töpfe. Einziges Manko, war das Bad. Es fehlt eine Dusche. In der Badewanne zu duschen war sehr umständlich und kein Vergnügen, aber man kommt zurecht. Wir waren nur zu zweit dort.
