Les Lauriers | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Var Mons

A four-bedroom villa in Var that commands views across the Pays de Fayence—this is where families and groups discover that the French Riviera doesn’t require beachfront proximity to deliver total satisfaction. Les Lauriers occupies a hillside elevation above one of the region’s nine perched villages, positioned between the medieval architecture of the Var’s historic settlements and the Mediterranean coast 30km south. The village itself sits at walking distance: a steep descent through country lanes gets you to fresh croissants and evening aperitifs; the climb back rewards patience with perspective.

Inside Les Lauriers

Les Lauriers sleeps 6 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, distributed across a split-level floor plan that manages to feel neither cramped nor echoing. The ground floor opens with a living zone featuring television and deep seating, its dual patio apertures framing the valley beyond. Adjacent sits the kitchen-dining combination—intelligently outfitted with a Nespresso system, substantial dining table seating, and direct terrace access via sliding doors. A utility room houses laundry equipment; a guest WC and hallway provide the necessary infrastructure of comfort.

The principal bedroom anchors the ground floor: a double with air-conditioning, en suite shower, and separate WC. This room maintains privacy from the upper levels, ideal for guests seeking separation or mobility accessibility.

Upstairs reveals three further sleeping spaces. A super king-size double leads the arrangement—air-conditioned with en suite shower facilities. The second upper bedroom contains a king-size double with air-conditioning. The third provides twin beds, air-conditioning, a wash basin, and flexibility to accommodate a cot for younger guests. A family bathroom serves the upper corridor, completing the three-bathroom arrangement.

Throughout, air-conditioning operates in all bedrooms; ceiling fans manage downstairs circulation. The interior palette leans toward understated country elegance—the sort of space where worn fabrics and contemporary comfort coexist without pretension.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The swimming pool—8 metres by 4 metres, reaching 2 metres depth—sits on the upper terrace and carries a safety alarm system. Heating is available on request, extending the season into shoulder months when the Mediterranean still holds chill. Sun-loungers tier the surrounding deck; the view encompasses the village castle framed against distant ridge-lines. The south-facing orientation ensures prolonged afternoon and evening sun penetration.

Below the pool level, a second terrace accommodates al-fresco dining; a gas barbecue anchors the space for evening entertaining. A covered seating area with table and chairs bridges the zones, functioning as breakfast spot or afternoon retreat when temperatures peak. Steps and terraced pathways navigate the sloping grounds naturally, connecting pool level to the boules pitch positioned lower. Table tennis equipment occupies covered storage nearby.

The terrace views operate as a permanent guest—the valley unfolds continuously, the castle silhouette shifts through hours of light, and sunsets transform the western horizon into amber and rose without artifice. Once settled into a lounger beside the pool, the magnetic pull of the property becomes apparent: why venture further when the visual satisfaction is immediate?

Location: Var and the Surrounding Area

Var’s perched villages define the regional character, and Les Lauriers occupies the gateway to this ecosystem. The immediate village—accessible by foot in under ten minutes—functions as morning bakery stop and evening restaurant destination.

Seillans, 15km away, carries official designation as one of France’s most beautiful villages, with atmospheric alleyways and viewpoint restaurants justifying the drive.

Lac de Saint-Cassien, 20km south, transforms into summer recreation hub—canoe and kayak rental, paddleboard hire, lakeside picnic beaches, and established fishing venues. The oak and pine forests encasing the region contain hiking networks, river gorges at Siagne (12km), and moderate cycling circuits suitable for varying fitness levels. Rock-climbing sites and waterfalls punctuate the interior landscape.

The Mediterranean coast materializes 30km south. Cannes—40km away via the D563—serves as the primary coastal hub, with ferry services to Île Sainte-Marguerite and boat excursions to Saint-Tropez, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and further coastline. Antibes (50km), Nice (64km), and the beach towns near Théoule-sur-Mer (36km) and Saint-Raphaël (35km) offer alternative coastal days when hillside scenery temporarily yields priority. The Verdon Gorge—approximately 70km northeast—represents France’s most dramatic inland canyon system, featuring white-water rafting, canoeing, and observation pullouts.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational family groups benefit most from Les Lauriers’ layout—the ground-floor principal bedroom accommodates less mobile guests or grandparents seeking privacy, while upper bedrooms cluster younger family members within supervision range. Families with children find the heated pool reduces seasonal anxiety, pool safety alarms provide tangible reassurance, and the boules pitch transforms into entertainment without screen dependence.

Extended friend groups (6-8 people) appreciate the balanced sleeping configuration—no one doubles on sofas, yet shared kitchen and living zones maintain communal gathering points. Couples seeking moderate group dynamics work well; the multiple terraces allow retreat without isolation.

Active guests (cyclists, hikers, golfers) leverage proximity to Terre Blanche and forest networks without commitment to resort infrastructure. Those seeking French village experience—morning markets, evening restaurant culture, genuine settlement interaction—find authentic immersion without tourism infrastructure.

Remote workers considering extended stays benefit from stable Wi-Fi, dedicated work surfaces, and the psychological reset that hillside removal provides. The location avoids the intensity of beachfront properties while maintaining coast accessibility for occasional days.
