Ollioules is a historic Provençal village just 5 km inland from the coast, offering a more relaxed atmosphere than seaside resorts, while remaining perfectly connected.

A strategic base for travelers seeking no compromise between coast, countryside, culture, and nature. From here, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: beaches of the French Riviera, vineyards, hilltop villages, hiking trails, and world-renowned sites — all within easy reach.

Highlights nearby include Sanary-sur-Mer, Bandol AOC vineyards, Le Castellet, the Calanques National Park, Porquerolles Island, and the Paul Ricard Circuit.

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the west wing of La Maison LONG (“Voûtes en Ogives” side) and its two terraces, except 3 owner's closets.
Other parts of the house may be occupied.
👉 Entire house also available via separate listing.


THE EXPERIENCE

Step into the west wing of La Maison LONG—a characterful three-bedroom sanctuary where 16th-century stone architecture meets modern Provençal living.

This isn't a sterile villa rental. It's an authentic village home in Ollioules' village center, where you'll live like a local. It offers a rare balance: authentic village life, walking access to shops and markets, and easy access to the coast, vineyards, and iconic Provençal destinations.

Yes, the village gets lively in summer—festivals, evening gatherings, café culture. But behind 20-inch stone walls, you'll discover a peaceful cocoon that transports you to another world.
