Charming cottage at the foot of the hills

In the heart of the Sainte Baume massif and opposite the Garlaban, next to the lovely village of Gémenos, 15 minutes from the creeks of Cassis, 20 minutes from the beaches, 20 minutes from Marseille, 20 minutes from Aix en Provence, come and discover our gîte in a farmhouse in the 18th century in which we renovated a character accommodation on 100m2. The cottage is newly furnished with all modern comforts, but the soul of the place has been preserved: the old wine tank in the center of the barn offers dim lighting under your feet and gives the whole depth of the living room with its ceiling over 4 m in covered mallons. You can enjoy a snack under the pergola with a panoramic view of the Garlaban so dear to Marcel Pagnol or you can rest on the sunbathing on the old area to tread the wheat.
This exceptional cottage can accommodate 7 people, it includes:
A 35m² living room with table and chairs, lounge area with sofa bed, flat screen TV.
3 bedrooms (one bedroom with double bed and single bed, one bedroom with 2 single beds, one bedroom with double bed)
2 shower rooms, an independent wc.
an equipped kitchen, with fridge, freezer, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, and all small household appliances.

A large semi covered terrace, with garden furniture, sunbathing, barbecue.

Dream family vacation for lovers of countryside and calm.
A swimming pool is available to you from June.

A 5-seat SPA is available by reservation. € 10 per person per 1/2 hour.
A deposit of 400 € is requested on arrival and refundable on departure.

Tolle Lage um Land und Strand zu erkunden

Wir haben jeden Tag eine andre Stadt besichtigt und waren im Anschluss noch an einem Strand. Danach zurück im Ferienhaus noch mal in den Pool und den Grill haben wir auch oft benutzt. Die Besitzer wohnen gleich neben an und sind immer erreichbar und stellen Feuerholz oder helfen auch mal mit Knoblauch aus :-) Das Haus ist ideal für eine Große Familie oder 2 kleine. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt

Wir haben Mitte/Ende August zwei erholsame Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus verbracht. Das Ferienhaus ist ruhig in den Bergen gelegen, bis zum Meer fährt man ca. 20 Minuten. Das Haus besteht aus zwei Geschossen, wobei das untere Geschoss aus einem Raum besteht, in dem Ess- und Wohnbereich sowie die sehr gut ausgestattete Küche untergebracht sind. Im Obergeschoss befinden sich die Schlafräume, 2 Badezimmer und die Toilette (Bad und Toilette leider ohne Tageslicht/Fenster). Im OG ist zu beachten, dass dieses aufgrund der Dachschräge nur eingeschränkt begehbar ist, nach 2-3 Schritten beträgt die Höhe nur noch ca. 1,50 m. Auf der Terrasse ist an einem großen Tisch Platz für mindestens 8 Personen, am Morgen kann man hier gemütlich im Schatten frühstücken, am Abend sitzt man allerdings komplett in der Sonne. Der Pool ist für eine Erfrischung ausreichend groß und Kinder können entspannt plantschen (die Poolreinigung wird selbst übernommen). Das WLAN ist (wie leider zu oft in Ferienunterkünften) nur teilweise nutzbar, da häufig die Verbindung abbricht. Für Streaming nicht geeignet. Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war jederzeit sehr angenehm und freundlich und bleibt so absolut positiv in Erinnerung. Wer es gerne etwas ruhiger mag, ist in diesem Ferienhaus gut aufgehoben.

Maison Calme et confortable

Si vous chercher un endroit reposant et agréable, une maison bien aménagée avec jardin et entrée privée et piscine, alors ne chercher pas plus loin. A 20 minutes de la mer et une petite demi-heure d'Aix en Provence. Vous serez accueilli par un couple charmant et efficace.
