Property Details

This wonderful old Bastide is set up in the hills above Aups facing South with views towards the coast, Tourtour and Aups. Mount Sainte-Victoire, which is close to Aix en Provence, can be seen on a clear day from the terraces.

The Bastide de Borme is approximately 1km from the centre of Aups, so is within walking distance of local restaurants and activities.

The Bastide will be perfect for wedding receptions, executive retreats, workshops etc., as well as large group or family holidays.

Facilities and accommodation

Accommodation is over three floors. The ground floor rooms are adjoining. From here, there are two staircases, both going to the first and second floors. Each staircase gives you access to the bedrooms and bathrooms, but do not join, i.e. it is not possible to go up one staircase and down the other. To make it easier to describe, we are calling these the West and East Wings.

There are ten bedrooms over two floors, seven doubles and three singles, many of which have ensuite bathrooms.

The Bastide is suitable for disabled or wheelchair bound people, as the ground floor plus terraces and the swimming pool area all have slopes for easy access and manoeuvring. One double and one single bedroom can also be accessed by a slope, at the rear of the property, and there is a “sling” lift available for use for lowering into the bath.

Ground floor

Kitchen: Newly fitted in a traditional style, but with modern appliances. In a separate area next to the kitchen are a freezer, washing machine and storage area. From the kitchen you can go outside to a shaded area which is ideal to sit and eat or enjoy a cool drink.

Dining areas: There are a choice of dining areas, inside, in the shaded area next to the kitchen, near the poolside kitchen area, or on the private terraces to the front of the house.

Living rooms: There are two living rooms, one with an open fire, which we envisage will be used as a comfortable room for reading and relaxing. Walking through this room is another large room which can be used as a workshop area, or family get togethers, or a TV room. From this room are the stairs to the West wing bedrooms.

Also on this floor is a small cloakroom, with a toilet and washbasin.

First and second floors

Bedrooms: Ten bedrooms, seven double rooms and one single rooms and two twin rooms. Also two of the bedrooms in the West Wing have dressing rooms with single beds in. Most have ensuite shower rooms or bathrooms, or have a bathroom and toilet shared between two or three bedrooms.

Outside: To the East, a large heated swimming pool set in the terraced area, with Jacuzzi and poolside kitchen and dining area. There are many seating areas around the pool and the garden, which is terraced. To the west of the property is a barbecue area, which adjoins the front terrace. At the front of the property are two lower level terraces one with a pond and fountain which is fed from a natural source of water. This area will be a peaceful area to enjoy the sun and the view. From here you will go down the main stairway to the lower terrace which is used for parking and is large enough to park at least four cars. There is also plenty of parking towards the rear of the property (North) for additional cars.
