Fox-Amphoux Bastide Rentals in Provence
Fox-Amphoux is a tiny village on a hilltop in the green, wooded back country of the Var, far from the coast and its traffic. The old houses gather round a small Romanesque church. Around it are oak woods, vines and the long views that come from being perched up high. It's very quiet. Our bastide here has seven bedrooms and sleeps up to 14.

Before you go
What guests ask us most before a stay in Fox-Amphoux.
Where is Fox-Amphoux?
In the Haut-Var, north of the motorway between Aix and the Riviera. Cotignac, a village under a tufa cliff, is around 15 minutes away, and Aups around 20. Marseille and Nice airports are each around an hour and a half by car, give or take traffic. You'll need a car to get anywhere.
How close are the Verdon lakes?
The Lac de Sainte-Croix, the big turquoise lake at the foot of the Verdon gorge, is around 40 minutes away. You can swim, rent pedal boats or kayaks and paddle up into the gorge from the lake. The Lac de Quinson and the lower gorges are close too. On hot days it's the easiest way to cool off.
How far is the coast?
Further than from many Provence houses, which is part of the appeal. The nearest beaches, around Saint-Raphaël or Fréjus, are roughly an hour and a quarter away by car, more in summer traffic. Guests tend to do the drive once or twice in a week and spend the other days at the lakes or by the pool.
