Exceptional Manor House with Private Pool, centre of medieval Seillans Reviews

Lovely house in a wonderful town location. Fantastic pool and garden with great views and restaurants and shops on the doorstep.

Many activities nearby including swimming in lake Cassien, boating, walking, horse riding, site seeing - we even went quad biking in the mountains.

We would definitely return and recommend to our friends.

This is a fantastic character building, on the edge of an atmospheric medieval village. It is very spacious, in good order throughout, and fitted with high quality furnishings. The garden is large, laid out on multiple levels with terraces providing plenty of scope for outdoor dining, and while on the edge of the village, feels quite secluded and private.

Seillans is a pretty village, without ever feeling too touristy. A boulangerie is a couple of minutes walk down through the village - ideal for early morning croissants and baguettes. There are two restaurants directly opposite - the chatter and bustle from these drifts up to the conservatory adding to the atmosphere in the house in the evening.

The house is well suited for anyone who wants to experience the character of Seillans - everything is a short walk away. If you're looking for total peace and quiet you would be better off looking for a villa deep in the woods, but this I think would be missing out on everything on offer in the village.

There are plenty of opportunities for activities and day trips in the surrounding area. Walking is well catered for, there are a number of marked trails in the area, with leaflets produced by the local tourist office.

The owner was helpful, and always responded to queries promptly. The local guardian was friendly and accommodating, dealing with our unusual arrival and departure times without problem.

In all, Seillans is a good base for exploring the surrounding area, the house itself a really atmospheric location from which to experience it.

3 generations of our family(5 children and 5 adults) spent 14 wonderfull days in the villa at Seillans. every detail of the promotion of this accommodation was accurate and , for me, exceeded expectations. impecably clean and well maintained, the location exceptional for dining , exploring and relaxing. i will bore my friends to death with my stories of this stay and could not really note any dislikes. our 5 year old grand daughter wrote in her daily diary"today i lived in a beautiful house".

I would just like to thank Andy and Lisa for allowing us to share their beautiful home . The whole experience from our first phone call to our departure could not have been more seemless. We gathered to celebrate my birthday a group of family and friends from mid 20's to mid 50's and everyone without exception had a wonderful time. The property is stunning - the photographs do not do it justice, the gardens are a vertitable larder supplying us with lemons and limes for g and t's , grapes for cheese and figs a plenty for baking stuffed with

locally sourced goat's cheese, magnifique ! The welcome we received from the local restaurants was outstanding particular thanks to Eric proprietor of La Gloire de Mon Pere who made my birthday so memorable and to his Dad for the wonderful Millefeuille he baked (Andy you were right it is truly amazing !)

The location is perfect for exploring - so close to Antibes and Cannes , St Tropez is good for a spot of people watching, St Maxine is

also worth a visit.

As you can gather a fabulous time was had by all. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and area so any one of my friends. We hope to return again soon , my Uncle has actually suggested making it an annual event !

We booked Mason Hirondelles for a big family holiday, with people coming from the UK, Ireland, and the USA, with ages ranging from 76 to 2. It was the 'Americans' first trip to mainland Europe, and our parents were viewing it as possibly the last big family holiday where we were all together, so it needed to be good. It was. The house itself is beautiful and spacious (enough room for my 17 year old niece and 16 year old nephew to escape the oldies). The pool was gorgeous (and private) as was the garden. Seillans itself is absolutely stunning and exactly what we wanted. The house is in the middle of the village and is a few steps from two lovely restaurants on the main square. We all agreed that we had the best holiday ever and this house and village will forever be in our hearts. Allan

Andy and Lisa's lovely home was the perfect base for our No Boundaries Art Workshop's stay in Provence this past June. This beautiful vila is perfectly situated overlooking a charming square with a bubbling fountain, is steps to the petanque courts where the locals invited us to play, and a two-minute walk to our favorite restaurant, La Glorie de Mon Pere, where we were serenaded by strolling musicians and welcomed like a regular from our first meal. The villa is spacious, with plenty of room for our group of artists, with well-appointed bedrooms, most with views of the town and surrounding hills, and a very large dining room with a separate sitting room. We couldn't have been more pleased and are hoping to return next year. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We were 11 friends, all "Girls" (between 20 and 57...), who shared a wonderful week at Andy`s and Lisa`s property. The location of the house is just exceptional, looking over the landscape of La Provence and also situated in the middle of this lovely ancient village.

The house itself is very large and well equipped with all you might need, the garden with its pool is a little hideaway with figue- trees, olivetrees and all kinds of blooming flowers. Getting into contact with the local people is easy as the Petanque- ground is just in front of the house!

We will surely come back again!

Wir haben in Seillans zu sechst eine Woche Veloferien gemacht. Wunderbare Gegend und ein schönes Dorf. Vor dem Haus liegt der wunderschöne, Platenen gesäumte Dorfplatz. Nächtelang haben wir hier Boule gespielt. Links unter dem Haus liegt das Restaurant "Le Gloire De Mon Père". Sympathisch, gutes Essen, gute Weine, die uns Sommelier Ludovic mit grosser Sachkenntnis und nicht weniger Charme näher gebracht hat. Der Platz ist das Restaurant. Zauberhaft. Und über all dem trohnt das Haus von Lisa und Andy Wheaton. Das Haus ist noch schöner, als es die Fotos versprechen. Es ist äusserst gut ausgestattet und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Terrassen, der Pool, der Garten, die Zimmer, die Bäder: alles schön und von guter Qualtiät eingerichtet.

Diese Haus eignet sich für grössere Gruppen hervorragend. Es ist luxeriös, aber es protzt nicht. 5 Sterne sind genau richtig!

Wonderful house in glorious location. Fantastic views all round from the lovely garden and pool and just a short stroll to some great restaurants. Loads to do in the area with the beach, mountains and lake (swimming, boating and fishing) all within easy reach in the car. Seillans is a beautuful village and lovely base for a holiday in Provence, I would highly recommend.

The property was ideal for 14 of us to celebrate a family birthday together. The house, the gardens and the beautiful surroundings were perfect. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed and made welcome. The house location is within walking distance of local restaurants, bars and shops. We only now need to find an excuse to be able to use again. Thanks to Andy & Lisa for allowing us to have such a memorable holiday.
