About this property

Heart of Charming Town, 30min to Beach or to Gorge De Verdon

La Renardiere is a village house located in the picturesque, small town of Montferrat. Montferrat is one of the VAR’s famous 13 villages, in the heart of Provence and equal distance between the beaches of the Riveria and the Gorge du Verdon. The town is an authentic French Village, untouched by tourism and charming in every detail. You’ll see school children racing to school, hear the town bells chiming, the town’s river babbling through the village, and become one with the locals.

The house is a 500 year old stone structure, a prominent home on the town’s main street and steps away from the town square. It has north and west facing facades and receives lovely secondary light on the lower level, and then direct light the higher you reach in the home. The house is 4 storeys plus the cave – equalling about 2400 The main floor includes a modern kitchen, new washer/dryer, fireplace and dining area for 8, with access to the cave. The second floor - queen bedroom with new ensuite, fireplace and large living room. The third floor is the Master bedroom with King Bed and new ensuite. The fourth floor contains the third bedroom with large double bed and new ensuite, plus a great room equipt with Television, movies and DVD player with access to the roof terrace and sweeping views of the town’s roof tops and the valleys beyond. The cave is accessible from the street for storage of bikes and equipment for outdoor pursuits. Parking is steps away at the Place des Allees.

The town of Montferrat includes a boulangerie, a cafe, two bars, two hotels, Grocery store and two restaurants. The town also has a soccer field, tourism office, picnic grounds, Doctor, a children’s park, library and community center. On the outskirts of town you will find a working Farm which sells some of the best Chevre (cheese) in the region. The town is famous for its picturesque waterfalls known only to the locals (and those with a great map!) For a 45 minutes picturesque hike, there is a beautiful chapel accessible by multiple trails and accessible year round. The town is geographically rather central to Aix en Provence (1.5 hrs), Nice (1.5 hrs), St. Tropez (40 min), and the Gorge du Verdon (30) . All highlighting different aspects of the PACA (Provence Alps Cote D’Azur) The neighboring towns of Bargemon (8 kms) boast some of the best art galleries in Provence. The house does not have a private pool, but Bargemon has an amazing communal pool. Chateau Double (2km) provides vistors stunning views of the Canyon, and cliff side dining 8 months of the year. Day trips, could include Cannes or Grasse, both 1 hour away. Or, for further adventures Monacco, Nice, or Avignon are all under 2 hours away.

Concierge and cleaning services during your stay are available upon request at any time during your stay, and we can certainly provide any further details relative to the surrounding area and opportunities to enhance your visit to Provence.

Un séjour au top
La maison est très bien agencée, confortable et agréable pour un séjour entre couples d'amis. Bien placée entre les Gorges du Verdon et le littoral. L'accueil de Sylvain était parfait. Nous recommandons sans problème.

Es ist das schönste Haus im Ort, Zuhause und mittendrin im Dorfleben. Wunderschöne Erfahrung!
Wir fühlten uns Dank nettem Empfang durch Sylvain, dörflicher Kommunikation und wunderschöner, gehobener Unterkunft sofort wohl und zuhause. Nach inspirierenden Tagestouren in die Umgebung ( Côte d'Azur, Gorge du Verdun, Lac du Saint Croix, Grasse, malerische Dörfer der näheren Umgebung) kehrten wir in unser Nest zurück und genossen die Ruhe und die Dachterrasse. In der Nähe gibt es einen kleinen Wasserfall, der nach 15 Min. bequem erreichbar ist, worin hartgesottene Dorfbewohner und Besucher eine wahre Abkühlung erhalten. Sehr romantisch! Das Restaurant gibt es leider nicht mehr, auch nicht den Tabakladen. Aber das hat uns nicht gestört, da wir meistens gekocht haben. Einen leckeren Kaffee bekommt man auch in dem Restaurant/Bar Le Relais. Alles in allem ist das Haus nur zu empfehlen und wir sind dankbar, in dem besonderen Zuhause als Gäste die besondere Atmosphäre genossen zu haben.

Exceptional accommodation in a charming hilltop village
We spent a memorable two weeks with our two young-adult daughters in this beautiful home in the charming hilltop village of Montferrat. As other guests have commented, the house is decorated to a high standard, has every comfort and is spotlessly clean. We loved cooking in the very well-equipped, open kitchen and eating at the large table in the dining room on the ground floor, but what we particularly enjoyed was sitting on the roof top terrace, sipping rose and soaking in the 360 degree view and watching the soaring swallows in the evening. All the essentials like paper towels, dishwasher detergent, napkins and bathroom tissue are there for a good start. There were even picnic essentials like insulted picnic bags and picnic plates and plastic cups, folding chairs and a picnic umbrella are on hand. Lot of fun DVDs for the late evening after full days of touring. The townspeople were welcoming and curious about 'Les Canadiens'. We shopped at the bakery and surprisingly well-stocked grocery store and drank espresso at the bar opposite the main square. One evening there was a band in the square with tables set out and dancing. We felt so privileged to have such an intimate, inside view of French village life. For large shopping days, we went to Carrefour in Draguignan. Be sure to visit the wine aisles. There are wonderful wines available in 2.5 litre boxes. Get the higher end ones and you won't be disappointed. Guy, the owner, is an excellent communicator and makes the whole process run smoothly. He left tons of information about the house, town and surrounding area. Sylvain, his local contact, is charming, helpful and also an excellent communicator. He speaks almost no French but we all understood each other perfectly. He was always available, although we really didn't need to avail ourselves of his services. We have recommended La Renardiere to interested friends and will surely return, ourselves. Our only complaint is that two weeks wasn't nearly enough to both see the many sights nearby and relax more on the rooftop terrace and just enjoy the town. Next time we will book for 4 weeks. All in all, an unforgettable holiday.

A GEM IN THE HEARTH OF PROVENCE
We were three couples in our sixty and stayed at the Renardière from Sept 27th to Oct 4Th. The house surpassed all of our expectations. It is beautifully decorated, ultra clean and has all accessories you may need from kitchen utensils to laundry soap and wood for the fireplace. There are 3 rooms all on separate floor and each with its own peculiarity. We had the top unit but count 45 stairs to go up!!! Better not to forget anything. Sylvain the housekeeper is at your service during the whole stay. He greets you with a warm welcome and tours the property explaining everything. Should you need anything he is there to help you. The only caveat is that if you have mobility problem this property is probably not for you.The whole is way better than on the picture. In town do not miss the restaurant La Voute. The owner Guy and his wife Mercedes are simply adorable and the food exquisite and reasonably priced. Anyone we met in the village was nice to us and seemed to appreciate our business. There is a good cafe/tobacco store where they serve a super expresso or for those with a more delicate palate and creamy cappuccino. The grocery store has everything you may need and the small bakery has fresh bread and croissant daily. We went to la Bastide des Moines and truly enjoyed our buffet style meal. Contrary to comments on trip advisor we found we had good value for a fix price of 25 euros although the wine was very ordinary. Jacqueline at the restaurant le Relais will greet you with excellent family dining. The location is ideal to visit les Gorges du Verdon, St-Maxime for its boutique and restaurant, St-Tropez for its glamour, Callas for its olive oil, Draguignan, Chateau Ste-Roseline for its excellent wine and the beach of Tahiti not to be missed although on the expensive side. Finally dealing with the owner was smooth and efficient and his contract is clearly written. Once payment has been made you will receive all the infos you need to truly enjoy your stay. Thanks for keeping such a beautiful property available to us. It is truly a gem in Provence.
