Luxury Villa Rental in Fox-Amphoux
A seven bedroom bastide for fourteen in the quiet interior of the Var, where Provence is still countryside and the Verdon lakes are half an hour away.
A Bastide In The Quiet Var
Fox-Amphoux is a very small perched village in the Var, in the quiet interior of Provence between the Verdon country and the coast. Its medieval core of stone houses gathers on a wooded hilltop around a church and a former Templar commandery, and the view from the top takes in vineyards, oak forest and the first hills of the Haut-Var. Cotignac, with its cliff dwellings and Tuesday market, is fifteen minutes away; Aups, the truffle capital of the region, twenty; the turquoise water of the Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Gorges du Verdon about half an hour.
Bastide Vitòri is a Provençal country house on that scale: seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms for up to fourteen guests, a pool, and gardens that run into the countryside. It is built for a large family or a group of friends who want Provence without the coast’s traffic, and it is the only home we offer in Fox-Amphoux, chosen because it is the kind of house that is hard to find.
You book it directly with The Luxury Rental, with a 0% booking fee. The same person who confirms your dates arranges transfers from Nice or Marseille airports, each about an hour and a half away, a chef for the week, and days out on the Verdon, in the lavender of the Valensole plateau, or down on the coast at Saint-Tropez.
