The 'gite' has 5 double bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, living/dining room, kichen, garden and pool. The easiest thing is to look at our own website .... www.lamaisondufaiencier.com.

About our home

As you step inside this 400 year-old 'maison de maitre' onto the flagstone floors, 'La Maison du Faiencier' exudes a sense of history. From the vaulted hall you enter a stylish living/dining room, separated by an archway from the exceptionally well-equipped kitchen. Both, look on to and have access to a charming courtyard (ideal outdoor eating area) which leads into the 350 m2 walled garden. There you can sit under the shade of the vines and fruit trees or take a dip in the pool (7mx3m). Throu

    This is an excellent place for walking, given its proximity to the Gorge du Verdon and its lesser known lower gorges and lakes. Panoramic views in abundance. Local markets can be experienced each day of the week and there are plenty of delightful medieval, hill-top villages to explore. Local beaches and swimming at the near-by lakes. Mediterranean coast is 1 hour's drive away.
