About this house rental

Le Vieux Moulin is a large restored 18th century Provencal house overlooking the medieval village of Seillans (listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France with its restaurants, shops and cobbled pedestrian streets). A short walk down the back lane takes you there.

A swimming pool with a magnificent view of mountains and village sits on the opposite side of the large olive tree grove. Vestiges of the original Vieux Moulin (old olive mill) greet you on the driveway leading up to the house. The stream which powered the mill burbles along at the bottom of our adjacent field.

The house has a large outside terrace, tiled in travertine marble and shaded by wisteria, ideal for balmy outdoor dining and a wonderful view of the village and the Esterel mountains. Outside tables and chairs can seat 8 people.

The house reflects the spirit of the artist who originally restored it: floors tiled in travertine or traditional Provincial terracotta, handpainted Spanish tiling in the bathroom and kitchen, artworks and antiques both inside and out.

The setting is extremely peaceful and comfortable and a short drive takes you to the markets of nearby villages (Fayence, Bargemon, Mons), the museums of Vence and Antibes or the glamour and excitement of La Cote d'Azur (45 minutes to Cannes, an hour to St. Tropez or Nice).

The house has three upstairs bedrooms and a full bathroom (with tub/shower, toilet and bidet) plus a bonus living room (or bedroom) upstairs which opens to fields outside. There is an additional toilet downstairs with an antique sink carved from a single piece of stone. The three bedrooms have queen size beds and one of the rooms has a dividing wall, creating an additional single bedroom. Each bedroom has a desk and wonderful views.

The kitchen was fully renovated in 2011 with a new double sink,dishwasher, gas range, electric oven and ample prep space. An in-kitchen table seats four and a separate dining room seats eight comfortably. The easily accessible outdoor veranda has a fabulous view of the 12th century village of Seillans.

The living room has a television, DVD player, house library and CD sound system. There is is a couch, two large armchairs & ottomans for lounging, along with a small desk.

The separate dining room can also be used as a study -- it has an additional large antique table by the window and a printer/office supplies in an adjoining cupboard.

This farmhouse is a very special place. It is wonderfully authentic with stunning views of the pretty village of Seillans. The rooms have an simple and eclectic feel with unique furnishing that hint to the homes artistic owners past. You arrive in the picturesque village of Seillans the drive up to the home through a mature Olive grove. The home is set in a large garden with a good sized pool that enjoys wonderful views of the village. The whole family loved our stay here where we were transported back in time to an elegant restful place.

We have been coming to this lovely vacation villa for 17 years. The location is exactly right - tucked away in sweet French village, close enough to the Côte d’Azur for day trips. We love the authenticity of the home with thick stone walls to keep the house cool on the warmest days.

My friends and I stayed here for a week in August 2023 and it was truly superb! The pool and overall ambiance of the home and grounds make for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. Quickly Shay's home felt like our home which was lovely. Shay and her property manager, Faye, were very attentive and eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We hope to be back!

We have had an excellent holiday here. Beautiful views into Seillans. The house was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The pool was great. The house is very convenient for walking into the town and as a base to visit the coast. Faye, the property manager, was lovely and very helpful. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

The house felt like a home from home in a beautiful setting. It had the feel of a much loved home. A retreat from modern life. We spent most of our time on the stunning terrace. Beautiful. Authentic.
