About this property

Magnificent sweeping views of the Mediterranean from our romantic hideaway

We have had many appreciative comments from our guests, some of whom have returned again and again. The atmosphere is incomparably romantic, private and 'away from it all' yet just a few minutes' drive to beaches, markets, villages and shops.

A detached cottage unseen by others in the secluded hills beyond the old and elegant seaside town and working fishing port of Bandol, located on approximately four acres of terraced slopes on a hilltop with a spectacular view of the Bay of La Ciotat, 'Port Vignoble' is beautifully restored, furnished and equipped, sleeping, ideally, anything from a couple to a family of four. It is centrally air conditioned and heated. Hidden by our pine woods off the country road that runs from Bandol to the ancient village, French doors open onto the large terrace in the front onto an aerial view of the Mediterranean across vineyards descending to the sea. We have two bedrooms, shower room, large kitchen-dining room, sitting room and laundry room. Newly centrally air-conditioned and heated.

Equally magnificent at night, it is surely 'the real Provence!

Many famous historic areas, such as Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, St Remy, Les Baux, Arles, Nimes, the Camargue, etc. are within easy reach, as is the Cote d'Azur, with St.Tropez, Cannes, Nice, St. Paul de Vence, from one to two hours' drive away. We are between the cities of Toulon (about 15 minutes' drive) and Marseille (about 25 minutes) which are both endlessly fascinating, Mediterranean cities. More immediately, we are between two of the most famous wine châteaux of Provence, where fine wines can be tasted and purchased at local prices. The towns of Bandol, Sanary-sur-Mer, La Ciotat and Cassis have wonderful restaurants as well as domains where wonderful Provençal wines can be found.

Please do have a look at the video, by clicking left on the first photo. It will speak louder than words! The video is number 25 of "pictures", or just click "video" on the menu at the top of the page. We hope to have you at our romantic hideaway.

Please note that upon your arrival, our housekeeper, Mme De Jorna, will have opened the house, will greet you at an agreed time and give you the keys. She will come to receive the keys on your departure and clean the house afterwards. Please read the welcome brochure before your stay to familiarise yourself with the house and the area. Her fee is to be paid at the end of your stay as specified in the brochure. You will need to make contact with her in advance in order to arrange a meeting time.

Have a wonderful stay!

Nous avons eu de nombreux commentaires élogieux de nos invités, dont certains sont revenus encore et encore. L'atmosphère est incomparablement romantique, privée et "loin de tout", à quelques minutes en voiture des plages, des marchés, des villages et des magasins.

Un cottage indépendant invisible des autres dans les collines isolées au-delà de la vieille et élégante ville balnéaire et du port de pêche en activité de Bandol, situé sur environ quatre hectares de pentes en terrasses au sommet d'une colline avec une vue spectaculaire sur la baie de La Ciotat, 'Port Vignoble' est magnifiquement restauré, meublé et équipé, pour dormir, idéalement, d'un couple à une famille de quatre personnes. Il est centralement climatisé et chauffé. Cachées par nos pinèdes au large de la route de campagne qui va de Bandol au village antique, les portes-fenêtres s'ouvrent sur la grande terrasse à l'avant sur une vue aérienne de la Méditerranée à travers les vignes descendant vers la mer. Nous avons deux chambres, une salle d'eau, une grande cuisine-salle à manger, un salon et une buanderie. Nouvellement climatisé et chauffé centralement.

Tout aussi magnifique de nuit, c'est sûrement « la vraie Provence !

De nombreux quartiers historiques célèbres, tels qu'Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, St Rémy, Les Baux, Arles, Nîmes, la Camargue, etc. sont facilement accessibles, tout comme la Côte d'Azur, avec St.Tropez, Cannes, Nice, St Paul de Vence, à une à deux heures de route. Nous sommes entre les villes de Toulon (environ 15 minutes en voiture) et Marseille (environ 25 minutes) qui sont toutes deux des villes méditerranéennes sans cesse fascinantes. Plus immédiatement, nous sommes entre deux des plus célèbres châteaux viticoles de Provence, où les vins fins peuvent être dégustés et achetés à des prix locaux. Les villes de Bandol, Sanary-sur-Mer, La Ciotat et Cassis possèdent de magnifiques restaurants ainsi que des domaines où l'on trouve de merveilleux vins de Provence.

N'hésitez pas à regarder la vidéo en cliquant à gauche sur la première photo. Il parlera plus fort que les mots ! La vidéo est le numéro 25 de "photos", ou cliquez simplement sur "vidéo" dans le menu en haut de la page. Nous espérons vous avoir dans notre refuge romantique.

Veuillez noter qu'à votre arrivée, notre gouvernante, Mme De Jorna, aura ouvert la maison, vous accueillera à une heure convenue et vous remettra les clés. Elle viendra récupérer les clés à votre départ et nettoyer la maison par la suite. Veuillez lire la brochure d'accueil avant votre séjour pour vous familiariser avec la maison et la région. Ses honoraires sont à régler à la fin de votre séjour comme précisé dans la brochure. Vous devrez prendre contact avec elle à l'avance afin de convenir d'un rendez-vous.

Passez un merveilleux séjour!

Wir haben viele anerkennende Kommentare von unseren Gästen erhalten, von denen einige immer wieder zurückgekehrt sind. Die Atmosphäre ist unvergleichlich romantisch, privat und „weg von allem“ und doch nur wenige Autominuten von Stränden, Märkten, Dörfern und Geschäften entfernt.

Ein freistehendes Cottage, das andere in den abgelegenen Hügeln jenseits der alten und eleganten Küstenstadt und des aktiven Fischerhafens Bandol nicht sehen können, auf einem etwa vier Hektar großen terrassierten Hang auf einem Hügel mit einem spektakulären Blick auf die Bucht von La Ciotat, 'Port Vignoble' ist wunderschön restauriert, möbliert und ausgestattet, ideal zum Schlafen, alles von einem Paar bis zu einer vierköpfigen Familie. Es ist zentral klimatisiert und beheizt. Versteckt von unseren Pinienwäldern abseits der Landstraße, die von Bandol zum alten Dorf führt, öffnen sich Fenstertüren auf die große Terrasse an der Vorderseite mit Blick auf das Mittelmeer über Weinberge bis zum Meer. Wir haben zwei Schlafzimmer, Duschbad, große Wohnküche, Wohnzimmer und Waschküche. Neu zentral klimatisiert und beheizt.

Bei Nacht ebenso großartig, ist es sicherlich „die echte Provence!

Viele berühmte historische Viertel wie Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, St. Remy, Les Baux, Arles, Nimes, die Camargue usw. sind leicht zu erreichen, ebenso die Cote d'Azur mit St.Tropez, Cannes, Nizza, St. Paul de Vence, ein bis zwei Autostunden entfernt. Wir befinden uns zwischen den Städten Toulon (ca. 15 Autominuten) und Marseille (ca. 25 Autominuten), die beide endlos faszinierende Mittelmeerstädte sind. In Kürze befinden wir uns zwischen zwei der berühmtesten Weinschlösser der Provence, wo erlesene Weine zu lokalen Preisen verkostet und gekauft werden können. Die Städte Bandol, Sanary-sur-Mer, La Ciotat und Cassis haben wunderbare Restaurants sowie Weingüter, in denen wunderbare provenzalische Weine zu finden sind.

Bitte schauen Sie sich das Video an, indem Sie mit der linken Maustaste auf das erste Foto klicken. Es spricht mehr als Worte! Das Video ist die Nummer 25 der "Bilder", oder klicken Sie einfach auf "Video" im Menü oben auf der Seite. Wir hoffen, Sie in unserem romantischen Refugium begrüßen zu dürfen.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass bei Ihrer Ankunft unsere Haushälterin, Mme De Jorna, das Haus geöffnet hat, Sie zu einem vereinbarten Zeitpunkt begrüßt und Ihnen die Schlüssel übergibt. Sie wird bei Ihrer Abreise die Schlüssel entgegennehmen und das Haus danach reinigen. Bitte lesen Sie vor Ihrem Aufenthalt die Willkommensbroschüre, um sich mit dem Haus und der Umgebung vertraut zu machen. Ihr Honorar ist am Ende Ihres Aufenthaltes wie im Prospekt angegeben zu entrichten. Sie müssen sich vorab mit ihr in Verbindung setzen, um einen Termin zu vereinbaren.

Haben Sie einen wundervollen Aufenthalt!

Une villa très agréable et au calme près de la mer
Surplombant la baie de Saint-Cyr / La Ciotat, la maison est aménagée de façon personnalisée : le cachet des années 30 coquet car à la fois rustique et raffiné. Nous nous sommes très vite senti comme chez nous dans cette villa et avons profité au mieux de la terrasse bien équipée et dotée d'un splendide et reposant point de vue sur la baie. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié - le fait de trouver (et laisser disponibles pour les suivants) les consommables essentiels, ce qui évite de les transporter ou de courrir au supermarché le premier jour ; - la confiance du propriétaire et de la personne en charge du ménage ; - les petites routes étroites (et pentues !) idéales pour des balades en vélo jusqu'à la mer ou dans l'arrière-pays (nous conseillons d'amener une carte IGN au 25000 ou au 100 000ème pour mieux les explorer) ; - la grande terrasse offrant en permanence des coins ombragés ou ensoleillés et un pint de vue magnifique sur les collines environnantes et le rocher de La Ciotat ; - l'absence de télévision et de wifi qui permet de se retrouver vraiment en famille. Bref, ce lieu nous a permis de profiter de la mer dans le calme, la beauté et avec le confort idéal pour un séjour estival ou printanier.

Really wonderful
This is a charming cottage in the woods with spectacularly beautiful views. We spent all our time on the terrace. Everything was convenient and attractive. The owner was responsive and helpful with anything we asked. The area has amazing beaches, and there are great places to visit all over Provence.

Amazing views from terrace - highly recommended.
We rented this house for a trip to the area to enjoy some local food and wine for a short weekend getaway. It's a very romantic house and perfect for a couple or a family with two children. The house itself is very nice, and has all the required mod-cons, but the highlight is the amazing views from the house and the large terrace. We spent all of the time we could out on the terrace and ate of our most meals there, "al fesco" as they say. One of the best views of any house we've ever rented and we'd go back just for that. The local area is perfect for exploring. We spent some time in the nearby medieval village, Le Castellet and visited the Sunday market not too far up the road for regional farmers produce such as olives and the like. If wine is your thing (it is ours), there's Chateau Pibarnon down the road and the now internationally known Chateau Ott (made famous by it's shapely bottles and of course Paris Hilton's favorite Rose). We would come back here and the owner was particularly accommodating, providing ideas for local activities. May come back in summer with our kids, or maybe just the two of us again and leave the kids at home!

Gemischter Eindruck
Das Haus ist dringend renovierunsbedürftig und es steht viel zu viel Kram herum. Die Lage mit Terrasse und Meerblick ist dagegen herrlich.

You pay for the view
The view, peace and quiet on the terrace are exceptional. However, the house or cabin is small (only for 2 people realistically) and rather cluttered with many wicker chairs, cabinets, etc. The bed is uncomfortable and a challenge to get in and out (140 cm in a room 180 cm wide). Appliances are new, but overall it is time to invest in bath and bedrooms, given the price.

Why they chose this property

Never had we seen anything more beautiful or romantic!

What makes this property unique

The area is rural, replete with beautiful vineyards and ancient walled villages--La Cadière d'Azur, Le Castellet, Evenos, the Saint-Baume and Signes--as well as lovey seaside towns all along the coast. Quieter and less 'honky tonk than St Tropez and Cannes, there are beautiful sandy beaches in Bandol, Les Lecques, Sanary-sur-Mer, La Ciotat and Toulon. There are magnificent calanques by the sea in Cassis and between Bandol and St Cyr sur Mer. Marseilles and Toulon offer everything in the way of charm, touring and shopping. Not far away are Aix-en-Provence, the Camargue, Arles, Nîmes and Avignon. It is Provence by the sea.
