Typical French villa in pretty village
By MARK HODGSON on 08-Aug-2026We really enjoyed staying here - perfect for a large family / two families. It was clean, well laid out and is well equipped. The owner went out of his way to assist, which was greatly appreciated. Check in and out was simple . The village is quiet albeit several quality restaurants. Overall a very nice villa and holiday.

A lovely family week in Seillans
By Rebecca Rowe on 25-Jul-2026We had a brilliant week in Seillans. The house was spacious and well equipped and the views were stunning. We loved the pool, it was perfect for our children ranging from 1 to 15 years old! All in all it was a wonderful stay!
Incredible home in a beautiful village
By Mike on 04-Jul-2026We LOVE this home, beautifully situated in an incredible village. We just got back from our second trip in two years, already planning to come back in 2027. The stone outdoor grill is a great asset- we ended up cooking on it most nights and there are many fantastic restaurants all within walking distance. The village is also centrally located to a lot of amazing stops among the nearby villages, the French Alps with the Gorges Du Verdon and beautiful beach towns along the Mediterranean.
Wunderbares Seillans!
By Carl Vinken on 01-Sep-2025Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Seillans!
Incredible
By Mike Doerr on 30-Aug-2025First of all the location is incredible- both within Seillans and the proximity to travel to either the mountains or the French Riviera. There is a square near the house where the town hosts events and concerts- a one of a kind experience of kid friendly community, music and fun.The house itself has multiple rooms to relax, a wonderful patio and pool for enjoying an afternoon dip and cocktail.One of our favorite experiences however was dining outside- we cooked on the Argentinian grill almost every night and ate our dinner on the outdoor table. It was a wonderful opportunity for connection and fellowship with our family and close friends.
