At Vidauban and nearby there are endless opportunities for the adventurer, from hiking, mountain biking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing and white water rafting on the river Argens, as well as sailing on Lac de Sainte Croix. This villa also makes an ideal base for golfing holidays in the south of France, with two 18-hole golf courses nearby, plus horse riding, adventure playgrounds and quad biking.

Insider Tips

“A really sweet and comfortable little villa near the village of Vidauban, a village where you’ll find most things for your daily needs during your stay. There are two good restaurants here, the most famous being La Bastide de Magnan: this is lovely for lunch and, if you are here during the warm evenings, you can dine in the garden under the plane trees - a memorable experience. The other restaurant, La Concorde in the main square, is also very nice and offers slightly simpler food. For wine lovers there are lots of good quality estates in the area, the Domaine Jal, Saint Julienne and Chateau Astros to name but a few.”
