Bastide Avellanne - Besse-sur-Issole

Bastide Avellanne is a charming fortified Provencal demure dating back to 17th century. Totally refurbished in 2011 it welcomes you with spacious light rooms in country style, all with modern en-suite bathrooms and independent apartments with every comfort. Surrounded by vineyards Bastide Avellanne is set in a private park of 3 hectares, where the colours of the olive trees and centuries old oaks blend with the perfumes of lavender and rosemary, creating a small mediterranean paradise in where you will find a heated swimming pool and summer bar, hydromassage pool, tennis and petanque courts. Bastide Avellanne is the ideal location to visit Provence. Situated only 30 minutes from the sea and from the Cote D'Azur between Cannes, Saint Tropez and Hyeres, (from where the ferry to the nearby Islands of Porquerolles, Portcros and Levant departs) with its hundreds of kilometers of white beaches, rocky capes and wild bays is considered the most beautiful coastline of France. It is also close to the National Park of Gorges de Verdon and to the most picturesque Provencal villages and towns like Bormes les Mimosas, Thoronet with the 11th century Abbey, Aix en Provence, Le Baux de Provence, Saint Remy and Nice with its international airport.

Tranquility and luxury, the perfect place to unwind
The welcome was warm and the hospitality second to none. We spent our time relaxing by the pool or enjoying visits to many local places of interest. Particularly memorable was the drive along the Gorge du Verdon. Dinner at the Bastide was delicious and the setting very romantic. Our bedroom was extremely well appointed and comfortable. We will definately be back.

A wonderful retreat
My husband and I spent two nights at the Bastide Avellane in May. The Bastide is completely secluded and set amongst lovely gardens. The rooms are all simply but charmingly furnished and decorated, and are extremely comfortable. The evening meal, served outside if the weather permits, was delicious and the wine list excellent. The couple who run the Bastide, Steve and Valentina, were extremely friendly and welcoming, spoke perfect English and went out of their way to ensure we had all that we wanted or needed. I can think of few better places to spend a few quiet relaxing days and we will certainly return.
