About this property
Family-friendly cottage in nature, near Lake Esparron and the Verdon Gorges
A peaceful stay in the heart of Provence
Welcome to Gîte Galoup, an independent 45 m² holiday cottage located on the ground floor of our traditional Provençal farmhouse, in a small hamlet surrounded by Mediterranean scrubland, pine trees and oak trees.
Here, you can enjoy a peaceful and family-friendly setting, ideally located for exploring Lake Esparron, the Lower Verdon Gorges and the Verdon Regional Natural Park.
A comfortable cottage for the whole family
Galoup comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests. It has a master bedroom with a 160 × 200 cm bed and a children's sleeping area with two 90 × 200 cm bunk beds. A baby cot is available on request, and the bunk-bed ladder can be removed for added safety.
The living area opens onto a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, air-fryer oven, 3-burner gas hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, coffee machine, kettle and toaster. You will also find a sofa bed, TV, Wi-Fi and washing machine.
The cottage also has a private terrace and a private parking space.
The farmhouse's walls are around 1 metre thick, helping to naturally keep the cottage pleasantly cool during the summer. In winter, central heating is included in the price.
And to make your holiday start as soon as you arrive: the beds are made for you!
Enjoy the outdoor spaces
Children can enjoy a play area suitable for children up to 12 years old, while the whole family can enjoy a game of pétanque or make the most of the large green spaces for outdoor play and relaxation.
These outdoor areas are shared with our family and guests staying in our second cottage, while your accommodation remains private.
Nature right from the doorstep
Nature and hiking enthusiasts will love the location: trails start directly from the cottage, including routes towards Lake Esparron and the Lower Verdon Gorges.
The lake can be reached on foot or by 4x4. On foot, the route is approximately 3 km with 160 metres of elevation gain. It is a beautiful but fairly challenging walk, so good walking shoes are recommended. The surrounding area is also ideal for mountain biking.
Around 3.5 km away by car, you will find the village with its local shops and services, including a bakery, butcher, mini-market, pharmacy, café, snack bar and pizzeria.
A region full of things to discover
From the cottage, you can easily explore the Verdon area and its many attractions, including Lake Sainte-Croix, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Gréoux-les-Bains and its thermal spa, Quinson and its Museum of Prehistory, and the lavender fields of the Valensole Plateau.
A wide range of activities are available nearby, including canoeing, electric boat trips, pedal boats, swimming, tree-top adventure courses, horse riding, hiking and mountain biking.
We live on site as a family and are delighted to share this little corner of Provence with our guests.
A wonderful place to slow down, enjoy nature and share special moments with family.

Philippe est d’une extrême gentillesse et nous avons été très bien accueilli, nous avons eu toutes les informations nécessaires pour passer un bon séjour
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et avons bien sympathisé avec Philippe.
La maison était très propre à notre arrivée et avions une petite surprise dans la réfrigérateur.
Merci encore à Philippe pour son accueil et sa gentillesse.
Très bon accueil et séjour agréable. Si vous aimez la nature et la tranquillité aucune hésitation. Merci à philippe pour son écoute. Je conseille vivement cette location (logement très bien équipé, commerce a proximité)
Philippe, le propriétaire, est une personne très sympathique ! Mais comment ne pas l'être quand on vie dans un environnement aussi calme, en pleine nature.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le logement (bien équipé et pratique) l'environnement et les possibilités de visites et de loisir du secteur.
Pour un ressourcement il y a pas mieux.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, au calme, dans la nature. Phillipe et sa famille sont vraiment très accueillants, intéressants et sympathiques ! Merci !
Nous avons passé une semaine délicieuse et profité pleinement de la nature et du lac. Les hôtes sont très accueillants. Nous recommandons cette adresse !
La propriété familiale est à l'écart du village de St julien, sur le chemin du lac. Vous pourrez d'ailleurs vous y rendre à pieds si vous n'avez pas peur d'un retour un peu pentu.... Philippe et sa famille sont des gens charmants qui nous ont accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Le logement, quant à lui, est bien entretenu, simple mais dispose du nécessaire.... Un soin particulier a été apporté à la literie: propre, neuve et extremement confortable. (ce qui ne vous laissera pas indifférents après une journée de marche!) Je recommande donc.
Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances, accueillis par des hôtes charmants. La maison est fraîche et calme, au cœur de la nature et à 2 km du village où nous avons pu trouver tout le nécessaire.
Idéal pour se ressourcer.
Lieu magnifique avec un parfait accueil.
Cadre merveilleux.
Je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui recherchent le calme à la campagne et tout confort !
Merci à cette famille pour les prestations 👍
