With the best weather in Europe on top of all of this, Provence is understandably famous for its quality of life. Situated in the Heart of Provence, the Var offers some of the loveliest scenery in southern France. Sillans la Cascade is a medieval hill village in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It has a spectacular 42 metre high waterfall (which you can see from our property) and idyllic walks in unspoiled countryside.

Our 18th century Olive Mill faces full south across its own valley. The property has 30 acres of hills, ancient woodlands of pines, oak, and laurel, wildflowers (orchids), herbs (thyme, rosemary, mint, lavender, fennel, marjoram), cherries, plums, apricots, figs, and wild asparagus. Olive trees grow by our own river (fishing is possible). The Domain is completely private, but within easy walking distance of the village. The property has been restored to provide three completely independent dwellings, each with its own private pool set well away from the others.

You will enjoy the authenticity and the the charm of this period property, which has been lovingly restored by its architect owner. The extensive gardens , hills and valley are perfect for exploring - the river helps make the Olive Mill an unforgettable and unique holiday. You can swim in the series of shallow pools in between the cascades and even walk behind our 10metre high waterfall ,which also has a large pool in front of it.

THE STUDIO is a restoration of the southernmost part of the 18th century olive mill, with direct access to the grounds overlooking our valley and the hills beyond. It is completely private, with its own pool to the west of the property.* The Main Room is 30 meters square, with an impressive stone vaulted ceiling and a west-facing window. It is very comfortably furnished with good quality modern and period furniture, cd player and tv. Sleeping accommodation is provided for two (large double bed: 1m60 wide).

* The Kitchen is south-east facing, with a dining area (table with 2 stools). It is fully-equipped with small refrigerator, electric hob with four elements, micro wave oven, electrical appliances (kettle, toaster, coffee maker), and good quality china, glasses, and cutlery.

* The Shower Room faces south, with large shower, basin, water closet. There is also a washing machine, ironing board and iron.

* The Grounds immediately surrounding the studio have been landscaped to provide a grassy terrace with dining furniture and wonderful views across the valley leading down to the river.

*The private and secluded pool (inground, reinforced concrete, 5.5m diameter) is to the west of the studio, secluded and surrounded by oaks, pine, ash, fig, and cherry trees. It has outstanding views which extend for miles. Kitchen herbs (rosemary, thyme, fennel, and mint) grow abundantly and there are mature fig trees for shade and fruit. Wild asparagus is plentiful in spring.
