A former farm turned into a hamlet of four holiday cottages on a hillside near Bandol with a panoramic view of the countryside. From the public road, a tarmac drive of approximately 100 metres leads to the property’s gate after passing the private parking area that has enough space for about fifteen vehicles. The gate opens onto a hamlet with four different-colour houses and a communal area: a small square that overlooks the countryside as well as several roads and alleyways bordered by flowerbeds and travertine slabs, each identified with a different name to highlight their identity. With foundation walls between 60 centimetres and one metre thick, most of the houses were built prior to 1945, before being fully renovated in 2020 with contemporary materials, double-glazed joinery and reversible air-conditioning units in order to create a holiday cottage business.
At the top of the hill is a two-storey ochre and yellow house, with a large glassed-in room on its southern side, topped by a large patio. Upstairs are two flats with three bedrooms, while the garden level is waiting to be converted into two other accommodations. The current owners’ house, also with two storeys and ochre in colour, is located on the lower part of the property and has three bedrooms as well as its own swimming pool, accompanied by a triangular pool house. A small red house with two storeys as well a blue one that shares a common wall with that of the owners, each includes a one-bedroom flat. In addition, most of the buildings are topped with barrel tile single-pitch or gable roofs.
The property also includes a former agricultural storage building, which was transformed into a meeting room and faces the swimming pool reserved for guests. A nearby triangular building includes shared infrastructures: a summer kitchen, laundry room and a lavatory, while a small cottage is used for storage. Lastly, the property with approximately one hectare and completely surrounded by vineyards, includes a more natural, non-landscaped section to the south, a variety of trees, a flowerbed planted with lavender and a boules’ court.
