Where are you going? 

The holiday residence is located in Salernes which is located in Provence, the Var. I lived there in the period from 2006 to 2009 where I had a beautiful Bastide with my family and where I have been able to receive guests for 3 years .. With these guests I have walked in the area, cycled and drove by car to beautiful spots, where almost no tourists come. But also the famous places, Gorges de Verdon, the sea everything is within reach.

In Salernes I have lost my heart and is my second home. Now I have had the opportunity to buy an authentic house in the old Salernes. I still have to renovate, but it will be ready by May 2018. I would like to introduce you to this village and the surrounding area in this unique way. There are 5 bikes, there is a car of myself and take your own walking shoes. A good mood, possibly your sewing machine (There is a sewing machine available) then it will be a super week. Because of the sun, we start drawing and / or sewing in the morning. The afternoon is then free to do nice things. Of course we can change the planning if we feel like it and everyone agrees.

We make a joint household pot and start cooking food together. Everyone can also decide for themselves to do something themselves. Do you find a week shortage? Then just come a week longer! What are the costs?

Price per person 550 euros for a week with a participation of 3 people. Transport from the airport and workingmaterials 120 euro. For example, if you want to come with a group of 3 or with 2 then a week is 800 euros. I do not take into account before and after season because there is a lesson program. Transport is private. By car or plane. If you come by plane i can pick you up and drop you off again. The journey time from Marseille or Nice is 1.5 hours. We will clean all of us on departure, so no extra cleaning costs.

I am exited, You too? Sign up via the webshop. First inform  the weeks that are available by the contact form.. Then i can plan this. The week from 28 august  is already full. and the from 30 august up to 6 sept too. The video i posted shows many images of Salernes, the market, swimmingpool.
