The location is ideal for exploring the region:
For leisure activities, you are just a 30-minute walk through the forest to the Pennafort chapel, 2 minutes by car from the Pennafort Gorges, and within 10 to 30 minutes from the Saint-Endréol and Terre Blanche golf courses.
Callas is 10 minutes away, and Fayence, Tourrettes, Callian, Fréjus, and Sainte-Maxime (from where you can take a scenic ferry to Saint-Tropez) are 30 to 35 minutes away.
A bit further afield, you can visit Grasse, the Château de Grimaud, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and the Gorges du Verdon.
This list is far from exhaustive — the backcountry roads themselves are stunning, and you’ll discover many excellent wineries along the way.
Shops and amenities can be found in Callas, Le Muy (10 min), or Draguignan (20 min).

Veterinarian, I passionately manage the 9 hectares surrounding La Garidelle, made up of forest and vegetable gardens.
I’ll be happy to share with you its hidden treasures and eco-conscious features — including a natural swimming pool, phytopurification system, and sustainable water management.
As a golf enthusiast myself (handicap 6), I’d also be delighted to introduce you to the region’s golf courses — there are 7 of them within a 45-minute drive.
