Ideally situated less than 10 min from Lac Ste Croix and 5 min from the market town of Riez. This charming gite, is one of two gites in the old farmhouse of Bel Air situated just off the Riez to Quinson road on the Plateau de Valensole, surrounded by lavender fields, truffle oaks and olive groves.

Christine and I have been letting holiday cottages for over 10 years. We are lucky enough to have acquired properties in beautiful places where we like to stay. We stay in them frequently ourselves and so like to keep them to the highest standards. Please come and visit one of our cottages in the Peak District, Dartmouth in Devon or in Provence in the south of France.

Gite Olivier is in the heart of the Park Naturel Regional du Verdon , an area of outstanding beauty. Lavender fields, olive groves and truffle oaks meet the foothills of the Alps. The park is home to a wealth of flora a fauna as well as wonderful scenery. The Verdon gorges, Plateau de Valensole and Verdon Lakes are some of the sights not to be missed. Lac Sainte Croix, the most impressive Lake, is less than 10 min away and has stunning blue water, perfect for swimming and watersports. The Plateau De Valensole embodies the quintessential image of Provence, with vibrant purple lavender fields, sunflower-filled valleys, and peaceful charming hilltop villages. The flowering fields are interspersed with shimmering olive groves and neat truffle oak plantations. Although there are many beautiful walks from the front door it is essential for guests to have their own transport to explore this wonderful area. Moustiers sainte Marie, the Gorges du Verdon, Greoux les Bains, many lovely old villages and the stunning scenery of Provence are on your doorstep..
