Beautiful restored Stone-built villa in a quiet rural setting.
Welcome to Le Bercail I have owned and loved this house since 1995 and it is my great pleasure to share its joys with a small number of guests each year. The house is secluded and tranquil but only two kilometres from the village of Entrecasteaux (less by foot down the "secret" Roman Road) and 40 minutes from the nearest beach. It has two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a small room with bunk beds for children and even two single beds in the room we normally use as a library/studio. There is a third bathroom and toilet down near the back door by the pizza oven. This is not easily accessible from the house. There is a shady garage for cars and lots of different levels, either grass or gravel for play and eating outside. There is a stone pizza oven/barbecue on the lower terrace which, together with the shade from the old oak outside the front door make two great places to eat out in the summer, The pool has been especially adapted so there is a very shallow end for children and is surrounded by railings with child-proof gates. The living room is large and open plan. There is a wood burner for anyone there in the winter but in the summer it is hot and is not needed. There is a grand piano, Sky TV, French Satellite TV and a Stereo System/CD Player. There is a wi-fi connection for internet junkies. The village is very lively in the summer with several bars and restaurants but if you wish there are some wonderful remote and beautiful walks.

We had an absolutely amazing week at this stunning villa! Fabulous location in a beautifully quiet area of Provence. The villa was cosy and welcoming and perfect for people wanting to explore local villages, markets and vineyards. Roy was a great host, very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t recommend it enough!
Villa was excellent, pool was excellent everything we could possibly need was provided. Roy was on hand to resolve any problems that we incurred altogether an excellent property in a beautiful location.

With two Kids and our dog we enjoyed our stay at Bercail very much. It was the Perfect place to live our provencial experience to the fullest. For questions and Support the Host and its local Team were always there for our Family Instantkaffee. Thanks again and best wishes. We would love to come back.
Het was prettig om bij aankomst de sleutel in het sleutelkastje te vinden. Het huisje was erg authentiek met twee zitjes, een heerlijk zwembad en tuin! In de omgeving zijn veel leuke dorpjes en wijnhuizen.

Le Bercail avec des températures élevées
Lors des journées chaudes consécutives, le manque de climatisation pose un inconvénient majeur.
Malheureusement la piscine qui pouvait fournir le refroidissement n'avait pas été suffisamment nettoyée avant notre arrivée. Par contre, après signalement à le propriétaire c'était rapidement résolu, donc grand merci à vous.
M. Dinsdale est un bon hôte, facilement accessible et ouvert et vue que nous n'avons pas vu, ni parlé à l'immobilière locale c'est un très grand plus.
La maison est charmant dans un cadre vert et le barbecue en gaz était fortement apprécié (certainement avec l'interdit des feux ouverts dans le Var).

Thank you Wendy. The heat this year was exceptional and it has been a constant struggle to keep the pool in top condition without adding lots of chemicals (which we try not to do). We have considered air conditioning, but on balance we prefer to consider the environmental impact and simply provide fans. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would look forward to seeing you again if you so chose.
Liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus mitten in der Natur mit Pool, Piano & unglaublich leckere Croissants im netten Ort. Das Haus liegt quasi genau zwischen der Schlucht von Verdon und dem Mittelmeer, alles gut zu erreichen. Danke, dass wir das Haus nutzen durften :)

Ein sehr schönes Haus, ruhig gelegen mit vielen Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten. Es ist sehr gut ausgestattet und es hat uns nichts gefehlt. Man merkt das der Eigentümer selber hier lebt und es sehr schätzt. Roy und Christoph waren immer sehr schnell und freundlich, um uns bei kleineren Problemen auszuhelfen. Nur als es tagsüber 40° Grad hatte, staute sich die Wärme in den oberen Zimmer erheblich. Aber zum Glück ist es ja nicht immer so heiß. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und habe von dort aus viel die schöne Gegen erkundet.
Roy was a great host - really good information and contacted us in a timely way to make sure all was well. Great house in peaceful and beautiful location.
Nous avons trouvé l’endroit sag splendide. Au niveau de la propreté, à l’intérieur, p.ex poussière au dessus de la cheminée, frigo non vidé…. Des détails qui peuvent être améliorer. L’extérieur avec la piscine et le barbecue est fabuleux.
La région d'Entrecasteaux offre le meilleur de la Provence.
La maison et son environnement immédiat sont très agréables et pleins de charme. L'accueil et les échanges avec Roy sont précis, chaleureux, facilitant grandement l'accueil, la prise de possession des lieux. Nous avons vécu 15 belles journées.
Wir konnten einen sehr erholsamen und fröhlichen Urlaub in diesem Haus erleben. Der Besitzer war immer kurzfristig erreichbar und hat sich super gekümmert. Das Haus ist groß, ohne direkte Nachbarn und sehr ruhig gelegen, jedoch nicht weit zum nächsten Ort. Die Einrichtung ist stilvoll, für jung und alt prima! Wir waren mit 4 Kindern zwischen 6 und 12, 2 Erwachsenen und einem Hund 17 Tage dort und würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.
Belle Maison : a regretter
Piscine envahie de guêpes , végétation pas taillée, pas de papier toilette en arrivant, il n'y a pas de volet partout et certaines fenêtres ne ferment pas.
Superbe maison, parfaitement équipée. Propre, magnifique endroit et très commode pour les déplacements dans la région du Verdon. Propriétaire réactif, tout est simple. Idéal pour famille ou amis.
La maison (ancienne) est agréable, calme, bien équipée. Elle est disposée agréablement dans un vallon Varois. La piscine est sympa. Le propriétaire est très agréable et soucieux que tout se passe au mieux. Un bon séjour!
