Description

LE CONTADOUR (Haunt of artists and poets) is a charming Provencal
stone villa built on seven dry stone terraces covered with ancient
olive, lemon, oleander and fruit trees. It sits perched, 250 m. above
the Var Valley with extraordinary views south to the Mediterranean
Sea.

The medieval village of GATTIERES is only a short walk away, having
every facility, including 2 excellent restaurants, a supermarket
and artisan baker. NICE IS A 20 MINUTE DRIVE AWAY. Within the peaceful
grounds of the villa is a beautiful pool surrounded by exotic flowers

The architect designed luxury apartment within the villa, consists
of a beamed sitting room furnished with antiques and has a south-

one can dine under the ancient olive trees..

There are two very comfortable bedrooms, sleeping 4 people, one having

balcony facing south down the valley, and the second charming bedroom

toilet, with large spot-lit mirrors, toiletries, hairdryer, and luxury
bath robes and towels.

A whole range of wardrobes and drawers is available for your use. The
whole, specious, bright apartment has retained its Provencal style,

maximum of comfort and luxury during your stay at Le Contadour.

Attractions

Gattieres village is only a 20 minute drive from the major
attractions on the riviera seafront. It is a lively French
Provencial village, full of character and animation dating back to
Medieval times, and evidence of this period is in every village
street. One of the local rituals is to walk up to the village in the
morning and sit with a cup of steamy frothy coffee and a croissant,
watching the locals greeting each other with kisses flying
everywhere!

During the month of July, there is an open air professional youth
opera performed in the village square. All the costumes are made by
talented ladies from the village. There are also many art and
sculpture exhibitions, street parties, and numerous concerts.

Two excellent restaurants cater for all needs,from wild boar, to
lobster flambeed and one can dine out in the charming gardens
attached to each restaurant.

In the surrounding areas, you are never far from real Provence
with its fascinating mountain villages, steeped in history, the famous
Mercator National park, to the well-known coastal attractions of Nice,
Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez, and Antibes, to mention but a few.

You are only a ten minute drive to the motorway leading to the border
of Italy, where, within 50 minutes one can be dining on pasta and
amore, or exploring the exotic markets. Safe beaches are only 20 mins.
drive away, at St laurent du Var and Nice.

There are 16 golf courses within the area.
For art lovers, we are inundated with art galleries and museums where
the fabulous light of Provence attracted the Impressionist artists for
many years.Truly, one can say that here at Le Contadour we are central
for every type of exploration and delight, yet, out of reach of the
"madding crowd".
