19th Century Holiday Home in Cotignac, Var - Infinity Pool and Superb Views Reviews

I spent a week here with a group of friends and we absolutely loved it!! The house is perfectly located with breathtaking views across the valley, yet it is only a couple of minutes drive or short walk into the beautiful village of Cotignac (the walk took us about 1/2 an hour from the path at the back of the house).

The house itself was very stylish with travertine floors, wooden beams and modern fittings. Outside there was a lovely terrace where we ate most of our meals, good sized gas BBQ, a table tennis table, plenty of loungers and seating and of course the gorgeous infinity pool with views looking down the valley! Couldn't recommend it enough, we will definitely be back!!

The house is very well equipped and we had everything we needed, and the pool is absolutely stunning with great views. A little bit of paradise in Cotignac. We loved it. Thank you .

The property is situated up a windy track from the main road, but when you get to it, wow is it worth it! The infinity pool looks out over the surrounding countryside with no other properties in sight. The outdoor dining area is an ideal setting for long evening meals. The kitchen is well equipped and there is even Sky TV which was useful for the Lions tour!

Cotignac is either a 30 minute walk or a 10 minute drive away and is full of character. Don't forget to take a basket from the pantry to the Tuesday market. There are restaurants aplenty in the area and we didn't find a bad one. We also visited the spectacular Verdon Gorge, but go early as it does get busy.

We will be coming back I'm sure.

My family and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Johns fantastic house.....and we loved it!!! It was so peaceful, no neighbours, so the kids (9 and 7) could shout and scream all they wanted! A fantastic setting overlooking beautiful countryside. The house has everything what you need. Internally it's a fantastic old beamed house with plenty of space. Outside is brilliant, if you have kids like ours they loved it in the swimming pool, the table tennis, Jenga and the open space. Wherever you sit you are always close to the pool so you can watch the kids. You can walk into Cotignac, if you go the right way, it takes about 25 minutes. Or it's a short 10 min drive with loads of parking and never too busy. Cotignac is a must place to visit, the place is full of history. It's very french and the people are a delight,but booking restaurants is recommended as you will struggle to just turn up in the high season. The surrounding towns are all worth a visit.

If you want to get away from the day to day stress and strains of life then I would recommend this place

If you are looking for complete privacy and tranquility with the most stunning views yet with under 10 minutes distance from a completely charming, picturesque and friendly village in the most beautiful and interesting area of France... then look no further!

We really appreciated the quiet, rustic setting. The property was the perfect base for us to explore Cotignac, Aups, Tourtour, Entrecasteaux, and other nearby villages. A visit to Château La Coste, located north of Aix-en-Provence, is highly recommended; as well as booking a house tour at 'Cap Moderne' (featuring inspiring modernist architecture by Eileen Gray, and Le Corbusier) in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. If you need a relaxing break, I do not think it gets better than Cotignac and the French Riviera. Excellent local organic rosé, white, and red wines during our week made our stay even better!

The house is tastefully renovated and well equipped and is spectacularly located on a hillside with an expansive view of the surrounding countryside. Best to rent a small SUV to handle the access road. There's a pleasant easy walk over the hill into town.

We went as a family back in September and we loved it so much we're going back this September. They say location, location, location and this lovely Bastide ticks all the boxes. Privacy, a lovely house, a pool to die for and magnificent views. Lots of character and has had a sympathetic make over with a modern twist. There's 7 of us with an age range of 29 to 69 and it suited us all. Loved all the open plan living space and the big kitchen was great for us all to muck in, and the large gas bbq meant we barbied nearly every night. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and with 3 bathrooms there were no queues. Hilarious table tennis matches, boules, cards and chilling with a good book were the order of the day. Cotignac, a five minute drive from the house, is

delightful and very 'French'. Virginia and Glen who manage the property were brilliant. I couldn't recommend it enough.

The house is lovely, very well restored, with all the facilities one could hope for - including wi fi in the middle of nowhere!

The property was immaculate and everything worked well. The manager and his wife were more than helpful and were both charming. We were recommended (and thoroughly enjoyed) La Table Des Coquelicots Restaurant, and the Creperie Sarrazire. Cotignac itself is delightful, with a weekly market that is well worth a visit. Good local shops with supermarkets within 5 miles, and a new Spar just South of Cotignac.

Visits to Gorges de Verdon and Sillans-la-Cascade are a must, and we would (and have) recommended the property.

We loved our week at Johns property just outside Cotignac, fabulous setting, secluded but close enough to enjoy the hill top walk into town for the bustling weekly local market. Total privacy, incredible views and stylish accommodation with all you need including a wonderful pool, table tennis, comfortable loungers, whether you want the sun or shade. We popped in to the village to collect fresh croissants from the delicious bakeries each morning and ate out in the evenings at several charming restaurants.. Virginia and Glen could not have been more helpful
