Charming Bastides with pools on a pristine vineyard in a stunning location

The Bastide was glorious. The setting is incredible with the outside space and view of vineyard and hills. The house was so beautifully decorated with the most well-equipped kitchen ever (better than ours!). Even the outside kitchen was very well kitted. The pool area was private and the pool heated, and it was often cleaned. Julie-Anne and David were wonderful hosts. Easy to contact; very helpful and friendly; but never intrusive. The area was great- nearby village busy and welcoming. We visited St Maxime quite a bit; St Tropez and Monaco, which were lovely days out. I did find the booking on VRBO confusing as unclear which bastide was which but they both looked so lovely that we were unconcerned. This holiday was 5* and I would not hesitate to recommend it, thank you!

Lovely week with amazing house 🏠! Perfect hosts

Host…loveley!!!! House…perfect!!! …and everything else was incredibly good!!!! Thank you so much Julie and David!!! …we‘ll be back soon…:-)))!!! Sonja, Evan and Chris

Fantastic home and wonderful host. The Bastide (2) was beautiful - clean, very spacious, and a wonderful blend of old country French and modern clean finishes. All the conveniences with absolutely gorgeous grounds and pool. Of particular note were the multiple outdoor ‘rooms ‘ for dining, relaxing, cooking, taking in the views and of course - drinking the local wines. Julie-Anne was an exceptionally gracious and friendly hostess. Will definitely return!

We stayed in Bastide 1 which is home to the owners of the property out of season. During the season, they rent out Bastides 1 & 2 and live in another property close by. They are therefore on hand to deal with any queries or issues ; not that we had any - everything was perfect. Bastide 1 is a few minute drive (15 minute walk) to the nearest town, Le Plan de la Tour, which is small and full of character, but has all the main amenities including bars, restaurants, grocery store and of course a boulangerie ! Sainte Maxime is around 10 - 15 minutes away by car and is a lovely town to explore. Much larger than Le Plan de la Tour (but not too large) and full of character as well as nice eateries and shops. Back to Bastide 1 - the setting is pretty much perfect for me. It is a few hundred metres off the main road so very quiet and not overlooked. The house is adjacent to a vineyard which you can see out of the bedroom, kitchen and lounge windows. The views from the house and the outside areas are sublime - beautiful manicured vineyards and lush, rolling hills. The only noise to be heard is made by birds ! There is a spacious terrace at the front of the property as well as a pool and outside barbecue and cooking area ; if you like outside living, you will love this property. Inside is very cosy and has retained lots of character. It is very tastefully decorated and the main lounge/living room is very spacious and comfortable. There are 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin) in the main house and there is a separate building next to the pool (10 metres from the main property) which houses the third bedroom and a lovely bathroom. We really didn't want to leave this property and would love to return again.

Spectacular! The only thing better than La Bastide itself was the warm and welcoming nature of the owners and hosts, Julie-Ann and David. They opened their magnificent home that sits within their vineyard on the outskirts of Le Plan-de-la-Tour. Of all our trips to Europe this was one of the best and I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future. The location is ideal for cycling, hiking, exploring everything that Provence has to offer, or simply relaxing by the pool. My only complaint is that the time went by far too quickly. Thank you Julie-Ann and David for a wonderful trip!

Excellent, everything was as shown or possibly better. The house is near a village that seems untouched and has everything, restaurants grocery etc. the proximity of house to nearby sights works perfectly The owner, Julie was just as other reviewers said, very helpful, seemed to be very "hands on" and yet totally respected your privacy. Will certainly return hopefully .

Despite the stunning pictures, Bastide 2 was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Stunning location, very high spec, so tasteful, beautifully furnished and equipped, the owners have thought of absolutely everything to make your holiday a lasting memory. The owners Julie-Anne and David are charming hosts, helpful and were delighted to help us make the most of our short time in Plan de La Tour. Their suggestions were invaluable. A big thank you! We shall definitely return as soon as we can. Really, I couldn't recommend this beautiful house more highly.
