About Julia Deans
We are a Toronto-based family of four and started visiting the Callas area while living in Asia with young children. We have a wide variety of interests but all love coming to Callas to relax, explore, and immerse ourselves in all things French.
Julia Deans purchased this house in 2005
Why Julia Deans chose Draguignan region
We bought our villa after renting in the area for many years. Every time we left, we had a longer list of things to do on our next visit, and so we knew we'd never get bored! The list now includes everything from great markets and restaurants to running routes and basketball courts to beaches and cultural sites - we love sharing it with our guests. Callas is also a great place to relax - have a morning cafe au lait in the square, a leisurely lunch on the terrace and an afternoon reading under the shade of the mulberry tree or by the pool. Perfection!

incredible retreat
We stayed at this amazing Villa for two weeks, starting at the end of September. It is a spectacular location. Very relaxing location with complete privacy and the owners have done an exceptional amount of work to keep everything impeccible. The location is ideal for short and long day trips to all the places you will ever want to see. We highly recommend this beautiful home and location to anyone considering a vacation to this area.
wonderful vacation home
Two couples shared this lovely home for 10 days. the location is wonderful for exploring and the home is luxurious. The kitchen is well set up and there are lovely areas to eat outside. the pool is great.
there is a local hostess who was very helpful. We highly recommend this beautiful home.
Nice Provencal holiday again!
My husband and I and our almost-16 year old son, stayed here for 2 weeks. Weather was lovely and hot, and we had a very relaxing time overall. We enjoyed being able to walk into Callas for early-morning croissants and bread, and the Hotel Du France in town was excellent value for lunch, and really good cuisine overall. We splurged again at the Michelin restaurant (Gorge du Pennafort) and once again found the 18 courses delicious, but just too much food - a la carte next time for us! We were pretty lazy and didn't leave the house except to shop for food, or eat out - the places we wanted to visit were a bit far away so we opted to chill by the pool most days. The pool was good, and we especially enjoyed the company of 3 chickens who roamed the flower beds looking for bugs to eat. We sat out and BBQ'd most evenings - the BBQ was excellent - we wished there was some comfy outdoor seating to relax a bit more in - but we played cards and games at the table a lot. The stereo and TV/DVD in the house was good - we watched a couple of films and listened to music most evenings. Amandine, the house manager, was excellent, and responsive to the few things we needed while we were there (more pillowcases and a minor dishwasher repair - all taken care of very easily and no hassle to us).
All in all, a very relaxing and easy vacation, in a wonderful area of Provence, with typically-excellent food and wine abounding. Julia provided tons of useful information and checked we were OK once there - making the overall experience even better!
From the moment we walked...
From the moment we walked through the door, I
wished our stay could have been longer. There
were 6 of us (3 couples). We enjoyed the house, the
garden and surrounding area. It was our first visit
to Provence. Peaceful, comfortable, inviting and
memorable. The Deans have created a lovely retreat
that we made all our own - if only for one week.
Thank you. Veronica Pantin

We always wish we could stay longer! The villa is very
comfortable, the garden is gorgeous and the village is
charming. Provisioning is easy; the village has an
excellent butcher/charcuterie, great wine shop and a
bakery, not to mention the herbs straight from the
garden.
Felt like home the minute...
Felt like home the minute we walked in the door. Great base for day travel. Village was friendly and within easy walking distance. Terrace was perfect for the evening glass of wine.
Location
fabulous markets, walking/hiking/running, museums and historic sights, beaches, cycling
