Beautiful old stone villa with private pool & spectacular view, very peaceful

Le Rayol is a carefully renovated (early 2000s) natural stone villa standing in 15 acres of terraced olive-groves, maritime pine trees and grass. Additional renovations are planned for spring 2025. The house faces south-east and the house-front and terraced patio (for 'al fresco' meals!) are covered. Here you will find peace and quiet, summer breezes, carrying the scent of lavender, thyme, rosemary and pine, and a 'forever' view to die for.
In the white washed clear and simple decor of the house you will also find some family antiques. The windows have wooden shutters on the inside and out. There is a 11x5 m outdoor private swimming-pool and a breathtaking open view over the hills towards the sea. Easy winter-living: you will find central heating and a fire place for the cooler months of the year. The house also adjusts well for 2 people. There are no immediate neighbours. Shaded parking. Outdoor furniture provided. Please note that the last 800 metres or so of road to the property is not tarred and its condition varies depending on the weather. After many weeks of heavy rain (very rare during the main season) one has to drive carefully to avoid small rock protrusions. No need for 4x4 vehicles. WiFi internet is available from mid-May to end of September.

Wonderful
Lovely property, beautiful and very peaceful location, Nicole (housekeeper) really helpful and went out of her way to help us when we arrived late and overtired having broken down on the way. Lovely views from pool. Sebastian very helpful also. One of the bedrooms accessed from the outside, which wasn't a problem to us but might have worried parents with younger children. Very nice restaurants in nearby Bargemon, market in nearby Fayence, kids had a wonderful time on pedalos in the lake about half hour drive away.

Ferry tale holiday
We just spent a week in this beautiful old house together with our small children. Finding ''the perfect house'' for holiday is like winning at the lottery ..and we did. The location is very beautiful and peaceful with idlic old olive trees and spectacular view over the valley. There is the perfect place to break from the outside noise and connect with the nature. The house is charming and very tasteful furnished, the swimming pool has a very good size. I found everything more beautiful than the pictures show. We spent most of our time outside of the house enjoying the pool and the nature, we cooked lovely lunches and dinners with the fresh food from the local market which is small but provides first quality products. Would definitely be on my list to ''go back to''.

Simply perfect!
My wife and I and our 4 kids, (6, 11, 15 and 17yo) spent a week in July at this beautiful house. We found the house to exceed our expectations. We've stayed in many summer houses throughout the years and we rate this house as undoubtably one of the absolute best. The location on the hill side surrounded by the trees gives the feeling of total isolation. The 10m pool was very clean and perfect for cooling down in and for the kids to splash around in for hours each day. The kitchen was well equipped and relatively cool. The house is furnished with quite a lot of antique pieces but we were mostly only inside to sleep or make food. All bedrooms have an adjacent bathroom which was extremely convenient considering how many people we are in our family. We ate out a couple of times in Seillans, both were excellent experiences. Cannes is about 60 minute drive and worth a visit. There's a small supermarket in Seillans for essentials but a larger one in Fayance (13 min drive). We felt very welcomed by Sebastian, the property owner and was immediately responsive by email when necessary. We highly recommend this house.

Charmante, ruhig und traumhaft gelegene Steinvilla in der Provence
Le Rayol ist traumhaft und sehr ruhig gelegen. Wer Ruhe sucht, der wird sie genau dort finden. Die jeweilige An- und Abfahrt erfordert auf den letzten ca. 2-3 Kilometern bei Gegenverkehr und auf den letzten 800 m unbefestigter Wegfläche gute Nerven, ist jedoch machbar. Ein tiefer gelegter Sportwagen ist auf der unbefestigten Wegefläche wohl nicht das hierfür besonders geeignete Verkehrsmittel, Allradantrieb ist nicht erforderlich. Das alte und gut ausgestattete Steinhaus hat seinen eigenen Charme. Der Blick, insbesondere in Poolnähe ist toll. Wir, ein Pärchen, haben Mitte bis Ende September 2023 auf Le Rayol sehr angenehme Zeit verbracht. Lohnend ist ein Besuch im nahe gelegenen Seillans, dort kann auch im Chez Hugo eine gute Alltagsküche bei zugewandter Bedienung genießen. Neben vielen anderen Orten, wie Fayence, insbesondere an Markttagen, ist in der Nähe das authentische Bergdorf Mons besonders hervorzuheben. Weiter weg lohnt u.a. das Örtchen Cotignac am Markttag (Dienstag) und dort in der Nähe die Cascade von Sillans.

Urlaub zwischen Wildschweinen und Rehen
Hier gibt es französische Bäuerlicher Idylle. Abgeschieden vom Jetset leben. Wer absolute Ruhe und einen Ort zum Abschalten sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Der Außenbereich mit Pool ist großzügig angelegt und die Örtlichkeit ist so abgelegen, dass man keine Bedenken haben muss, unter Beobachtung zu stehen.

Haus in Alleinlage
Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche im Haus in Südfrankreich verbracht. Es gibt insgesamt 4 Schlafzimmer (eines davon auf der Galerie) mit je einem eigenen Bad mit Dusche und WC, das war sehr praktisch. Das Grundstück ist in Alleinlage mit Pool, man sieht keine Nachbarn, sehr ruhig, wunderbar. Anfahrt von Seillans circa 20min über zum Teil Schotterstraße, daher etwas weitere Wege überall hin.

Superbe maison dans les bois
Très belle demeure isolée que l'on atteint au bout d'une route non revêtue. Au grand calme, vielles pierres, mobilier ancien, très bonne literie... Des pièces joliment décorées, sur plusieurs niveaux. Annonce conforme avec la réalité. Très bon accueil d'Amel et très bon contact avec le propriétaire. Nous n'avons vons pas utilisé la piscine car nous sommes venus fin octobre. Nous recommandons cette location.

Wunderschöner Ort
Hat man den abenteuerlichen Weg zur Liegenschaft geschafft, erwarten einen ein tolles Haus, ein grossen Pool und eine fantastische Landschaft mit grandioser Aussicht. Der Weg an die Küste der Côte d’Azur ist etwas aufwändig, aber wer nicht unbedingt ans Meer will, ist in le Rayole gut aufgehoben. Wir haben die Abgeschiedenheit genossen.

A wonderful house in a beautiful place
A wonderful house in a beautiful place; sitting amongst olive terraces, with a fine vista looking east over wooded Provencal hills with no other house or road in sight. Also, it’s set in a clearing in the woods at the end of a very long drive so is very quiet and completely private, but not isolated, the hilltop village of Seillans is a 15 minute drive away and has a really excellent restaurant on its cobbled square. The house itself is comfortable, well equipped, elegant and the owner is pleasant and helpful. It is special, and we couldn’t have been happier there.

Ein Paradies in der Provence
Zwei Wochen (Ende August / Anfang September 2018) haben wir Eltern mit 3 Kindern eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem phantastischen Anwesen verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, der Standard ist hoch und es bietet einen entsprechenden Komfort. Ob im Haus oder zwischen Freisitz, Poolbereich und unter Olivenbäumen findet jeder seinen Platz zum Lesen, Chillen, Relaxen oder auch arbeiten (wenn es sich nicht vermeiden lässt - die Anbindung an die moderne Kommunikation funktioniert sehr gut). Die Abgeschiedenheit - man hört wirklich kein Zivilisationsgeräusch - und die phantastische Aussicht machen die Lage sehr attraktiv und garantieren nachhaltige Erholung. Ganztägig ist auf Grund der Plateaulage bei entsprechendem Wetter Sonne garantiert und man sollte sich viel Zeit für den Blick in die Weite erlauben, es ist hochgradig entspannend. Auf Grund der Lage kann man aber nicht erwarten, dass die Versorgungswege kurz sind, wobei wir diese für Frankreich als normal beizeichnen würden. Viele Ausflüge zu interessanten Plätze in und rund um Nizza, Cannes, Antibes, Frejus, etc. sind in angemessener Zeit möglich, das Meer und schöne Strände sind in ca. 45 min. erreichbar Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können uns vorstellen, wiederzukommen.

Beautiful house, calm and away from it all!
We spent a lovely week in Sebastian's fantastic house, decorated with much taste. The beds were very comfortable in the 3 bedrooms, and the sofa bed was okay. The pool was big and clean, and we enjoyed being far away from any neighbours, but still only a 10 minutes' drive from Seillans. We highly recommend the restaurant "Le gloire de mon père" in Seillans.

Séjour à Seillans
J'ai passé une semaine de vacances avec ma mère et une amie dans un lieu de rêve, tout à côté du village de Seillans dans le Var. La maison, une ancienne bastide provençale restaurée, se niche loin des regards et de la route au milieu d'une forêt de chênes et de pins. Construite dans une clairière d'oliviers centenaires et de cyprès, la maison et sa piscine surplombent une vue magnifique sur les collines verdoyantes, la vallée et les monts bleutés à l'horizon. Pour nous qui recherchions repos et calme, l'endroit s'est révélé tout simplement paradisiaque. Aucune autre maison en vue, aucun bruit de voiture ni de voisinage. Nous n'avions pour seuls compagnons que les grillons et les cigales, les oiseaux, les papillons et de temps à autre un âne qui braie au loin. La maison reste fraîche malgré la chaleur, elle est décorée avec beaucoup de goût, les meubles anciens lui donnent un charme, une patine et une âme. On s'y sent bien, loin du monde mais dans un cadre enveloppant. Si nous avions envie de sortir de notre bulle, nous pouvions nous promener à Seillans ou Fayence, deux villages tout proches qui sont restés d'authentiques villages provençaux. Notre semaine de vacances dans ce cadre idyllique pourrait se résumer en trois mots: luxe, calme et volupté! Elsie
