Vacation Rental Description
Stunning self catering rental in private parkland.  
La Pierre Qui Chante is close to all the amenities in the area - hill villages, shops, supermarkets etc and yet it is in extensive grounds, and is a tranquil and secluded paradise.  
 
Approaching along the long level drive through wooded parkland you finally arrive at the fishpond and fountain at the front of the house, and are confronted with a wonderful view over the foothills of the Alps to the North. Looking out from the kitchen door past the stone pillars and the shaded terrace you can see 'the stone that sings' and the large kidney shaped swimming pool. 
 
There is a fully equipped modern kitchen. A large sitting/dining room overlooks the fountain and fishpond near the entrance porch. Each of the 2 floors has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and WC, accessible from the size able entrance hall with mezzanine. The property is a tasteful residence well maintained by the owners. Here there is total privacy owing to its commanding position on the top of a low hill, and views nearly all the way round, sometimes glimpsed through trees. 
 
It is the setting that makes this house truly remarkable. There are no close neighbours, and because of our position on a hill no one overlooks us. This is not easy to find in an area, which is more and more sought after because of its beauty and stunning scenery. In spite of this we are only half an hour from the coast, and close to the 7 local hill villages (the nearest are St Paul en Foret 2km, and Fayence, about 5 km). 
 
Once you arrive you are in your own private paradise. The amount of land here protects you from the outside world, and gives children lots of space to explore without them having to leave the property. The land could be described as wooded parkland, and has a variety of indigenous trees. There are interesting walks and stone walls, making it a wonderful spot to walk or do your early morning 'constitutional' before having breakfast on the terrace. Ample easy parking. 
 
 
You follow the long driveway through natural woodland and finally arrive at the fountain and fishpond outside the house. The amount of land here is a protection from the outside world. This unique hilltop position, a registered bird sanctuary, ensures total privacy. To awaken each morning to the stunning views of the mountains lifts the spirits for the rest of the day.  
 
It is a nature lover's paradise with the variety of different trees, such as olive, fig, mimosa, oak, pines, and an abundance of wild herbs. The therapeutic smell of the pines, lavender, wild thyme and marjoram, combined with the music of the cicadas and occasional golden oriole during the day, and the tree frogs and scope owl in the evenings, make this a truly magical place. There are paved terraces on 3 sides of the house facing East, West and South, and over 200m around the pool.  
 
This is a quiet area, approached through vineyards and olive groves, with expansive views over the foothills of the Southern Alps. It's a welcome retreat after the bustle of the day spent sightseeing etc. The whole region has stunning scenery and the charming hill villages all have events and festivals during the summer.  
 
However, Nice Airport is only 50 minutes away. Good restaurants abound, and there is a delightful variety of shops and markets. Lots to explore in the vicinity and further afield. There are gorges, rivers and spectacular scenery. Rocky crags and mountains in the distance. A fantastic holiday area! Parking in all local villages is free.

    Owners Profile
    A shop in Fayence village Living in the Fayence area since 1976

    It was in 1989 that we first saw La Pierre Qui Chante. It was rundown and the land was thick forest, but we could see the potential. After a lot of difficulty selling our previous house we finally managed to complete the purchase and move in. After two years we let the house and returned to the UK staying there for nine years
    Over the years since we have cleared the land around the house and brought in much needed light. We have also opened up the amazing views which were blocked with the dense trees.
    Now the house is a cared for and comfortable home, and we ensure that everything is ready for you to enjoy your holiday without problems.
