Bastide Fleur du Cap Reviews - Saint-Maximin

Embedded in magnificent scenery of pine and oak woods, vineyards, olive and lavender fields, the private country guesthouse 'FLEUR DU CAP' is nestled on a hill overlooking the medieval village of Bras, an ancient Templar site, right in the heart of Southern France's splendid 'Green Provence' region. A true refuge from the city life's stress and a place to rediscover the beauty and silence of nature amidst a unique landscape. You will stay in an authentic Provencal 'Bastide', a manor with a splendid south ...(see more)front, large breakfast terrace, visible wooden beams, terracotta-floors and traditionally lime-coated, hand colored walls throughout the house. 5 luxury b&b guest rooms (20 m2) and 2 self-catering studio flats (30m2) are available, all furnished with exquisite teakwood furniture, decorated in one of the warm Provencal colors and, of course, with their own private bathroom/WC.
