A surprise for many buyers looking at houses available on the market in the South of France are the number of properties that still have old fashioned dated interiors, with sometimes rather gloomy and dark furniture or not very nice tiles from 70’s or 80’s.
In contrast, here are 2 superb properties the first property re-visited by a Belgian owner with alot of taste and another by a British interior designer, both currently for sale.
The bastide set in a dominant position with a stunning view over the hills of Var close to the popular village of Lorgues was built by a Belgian owner. Completed quite recently with much care, the elegant furnishings and stone floors convey a timeless classic style to the house. Rooms are perfectly proportioned and bright, and the layout is well thought out. There is a feeling of serenity when visiting this house, that seems to whisper this a just reward for a life of work or the perfect getaway. It is reminiscent of the abbey of the Thoronet located not far away, and yet it is only an hour from Nice airport. As pictures speak more than words, here are some of the views of the interior and outside.

Part of a Chateau, with spectacular open views over the surrounding grounds and vineyards to the west of Lorgues, is a house renovated by a British interior designer. The clever combination of stone from the original chateau, and a more recent and sober provencal style, gives the house charm and character. A fairly open plan with a nice hallway, stairs and landing ensures there is plenty of light in the house. All 3 bedrooms have their own shower rooms/bath rooms, and there is an option to buy an additional studio. As the chateau is managed like a secured domain, you can use the large pool or tennis court without having to worry about maintenance. No wonder it has attracted international residents who mostly use it as their perfect holiday home. The price has just been reduced, so it may not remain on the market for very long !
