Puntayucca

The property is called Puntayucca, which translates to 'Yucca Point' in Spanish, providing a hint that it is not a typical Provençal farmhouse. Rather, it is a unique, one-story abode blending the features of a riad and a farmhouse. The living area is a delightful blend of antique and contemporary decor, locally-sourced pottery, and Moroccan textiles. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools to prepare delightful al fresco meals and lazy lunches. Choose from one of the two terraces - one open and one covered - that gently curve around the spacious pool deck and terrace pool. The garden is lovingly maintained, overflowing with Mediterranean agave, palm trees, and flowering shrubs that spill down to a lower level with a shaded orchard and cactus garden. The villa also features a private boules court, providing an opportunity to experience the quintessential Provence game. Nestled between vineyards and rolling hills with stunning views of the coastline, Puntayucca is conveniently located within easy reach of the historic fishing port of Cassis, and the beaches of Les Lecques and La Madrague, both of which offer sailing, deep-sea diving, and fishing. The Calanques National Park, with its breathtaking scenery, can be explored by boat or on foot via the meandering walking trails. Additionally, St-Cyr, 5km away, offers tennis courts, bike rentals, riding stables, an 18-hole golf course, and local markets. The Mediterranean coastline of the Var region is a treasure trove of sandy beaches, hidden coves, and charming resorts. The Calanques boasts some of the most stunning scenery in France, with narrow inlets set into vertiginous limestone formations, especially to the west of Cassis, a popular tourist destination dating back to Roman times. La Ciotat is a picturesque old port village with a large and crowded beachfront. Across the bay is St-Cyr-sur-Mer, featuring lovely sand beaches at Les Lecques and the charming small port of Madrague. Bandol, a pleasant seaside resort, produces some of the best vintages from southern France and boasts three expansive beaches sheltered by high wooded hills. Inland, Le Castellet is a remarkable old fortress perched high on a hill and a former stronghold of the lords of Les Baux, while La Cadière-d'Azur is a picturesque medieval village with breathtaking views over a sea of vineyards towards the Massif Ste-Baume.
