2 Bedroom Villa in Claviers

There are glorious views from Villa Charmante over the perched medieval village of Claviers, in Provence, to the hills beyond. It is totally private and secluded - no other property overlooks the Provence villa, terrace or pool as we have olive groves to one side and to the rear, a small wood to the other side, and to the front (south and south west) we look down on Claviers with its 900 year old church. 
 
The Villa has accommodation for 5 to 7 plus a baby in a king-size double, a triple, an occasional third bedroom with double sofa bed and cot available on request. 
 
Prices for the Villa are per week and include electricity in peak season (May to September), linen, towels, final clean, pool maintenance and welcome hamper with fine wine and local produce. 
 
Villa Charmante is a modern villa built using many traditional materials such as ancient oak beams, terracotta tiles, handmade local bathroom tiles from Salernes and antique doors, to mention just a few of the delights of the property. The inside is stunning with large windows and high ceilings allowing plenty of light to bathe the spacious 175 sqm interior. It is a villa of great charm and character with all modern conveniences. 
 
Striking entrance with elegant staircase to a magnificent and spacious (9m x 6m) lounge. With a high ceiling and superb acoustics, there are massive oak beams and a full terracotta tiled floor. Second lounge area with large fireplace, television and DVD player. This lounge area curtains off to form an occasional third bedroom with high quality sofa bed. 
 
Master bedroom with king-size bed and en-suite bathroom. French doors to a terrace that is bathed by the morning sun. Separate cloakroom WC on ground floor (lounge) level. Triple bedroom on the upper level with adjacent shower room and WC. 
 
Swimming pool open April to October with roll on thermal cover (to reduce night time heat loss in the cooler months) and regulation safety alarm. Sunny terraces with areas shaded by olive and cypress trees. Plenty of loungers and cushions, parasols and built in barbecue. Two exterior dining tables with chairs, one beside the barbecue, the other on the second terrace overlooking Claviers. Private driveway with parking for two cars.

Large dining room on same level as the kitchen. French doors to poolside terrace and patio door to second terrace overlooking the village of Claviers Kitchen with electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Utility room with washing machine and iron. Television and DVD player with a selection of DVDs. HiFi with selection of CDs. Lots of books and games for all ages.

Historic Claviers has a bakery, grocers, post office, restaurants, bar, boules court and market day. Sister villages of Callas and Bargemon (recently voted one of the prettiest villages in France) have more shops, restaurants, cafes, bank, market days etc.  
 
The area is popular for rambling with many paths through pine forests and olive groves. Our favourite is the 1 ½ mile walk from the villa to the Chapel of St Anne high on the hill above for magnificent views of Claviers, Callas, Bargemon and the surrounding countryside. 
 
Skiing - there is a small skiing resort 45 minutes from Villa Charmante open in mid winter or the main resorts of the Alps are a 2 hour drive. 
 
The Cote d'Azur and South of France have long had a special appeal. Combine the Mediterranean climate, wonderful Provencal cooking, superb wine and the rich warm scenes that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne and you have all the makings for a fantastic holiday!
