About the property: The property is surrounded by a tranquil environment, close to Lake Saint Cassien and the Siagne Valley. It features a fountain and old olive trees, which are characteristic of the southern region of France. The property was named "Le Vallon des Oliviers" or "Olive Trees Valley" due to the presence of these trees. Over the years, the landscape has changed, and the valley is now covered with oaks and pines alongside the olive trees. We offer comfortable rooms with separate toilets and well-equipped bathrooms, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing stay.
