About this apartment rental
La Cascade takes its name from the small mill stream that tumbles down, right opposite the front door. It's part of an 18th century water-powered olive mill, Le Moulin de la Montre (spot the remains of the old sundial), and a small bridge leads to your private patio with wild fig and vines. You're only 10 min walk under the plane trees from the unspoilt village with its Wednesday and Saturday markets, bakeries, cafes and numerous exceptional restaurants. With 2 double bedrooms, a traditional kitchen, bathroom, separate WC and lounge (with an extra double sofa-bed), La Cascade enjoys a panoramic view over Aups towards the mountain ranges of Provence to the south. With many local festivals, a wide range of activities and delightful hill villages nearby it is ideally situated for exploring the beautiful, turquoise Lac St Croix (20 min by car) and the spectacular Gorge du Verdon (30 min). Parking at the Moulin for 2 or 4 wheels. Our normal change-over day is Saturday but there can sometimes be flexibility, so do ask.
Winter attractions include wild-boar and small game hunting and the renowned truffle market (every Thursday from end of Nov to early March) with the Fete des Truffes on the last Sunday in January.

I was in this oil mill more than 20 years ago for a family reunion. I have very fond memories of this place. It was nice to see that everything was still as I remembered it. A historic place in a beautiful, provincial town. The apartment is very well furnished. Some things are a bit old, but that underlines the historic character. If you are looking for a stylish, clean apartment, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a place with lots of charm and charisma, this should be your choice.

Michael bietet hier eine wunderbare Wohnung im Haus einer alten Olivenmühle an. Er war bereits in der Vorbereitung äußerst hilfsbereit und gab viele Tips zu Unternehmungen in der Gegend. Die Wohnung ist komplett ausgestattet , selbst einige Lebensmittel (und ein wunderbarer Rosé) waren vorhanden, so dass man nicht gleich zum Supermarkt musste - der aber in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar ist und wirklich alles bietet.
Wir wollten mit unseren Kindern vor allem schwimmen und haben Ausflüge zum Lac de StCroix, der Verdon Schlucht, Sillans-la-Cascade und in die Jabron-Schlucht gemacht.
Mit dem lokalen Touranbieter Vertigo (aus Aups) haben wir dort eine Canyoning-Tour gemacht, die wirklich empfehlenswert ist!
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen, leider war es nur eine Woche!

A quiet flat in a converted mill, with peaceful terrace and a wonderful, helpful host (by phone): I'd have stayed forever with very little encouragement. Everything you might need is to be found at La Cascade: a well equipped kitchen, bedrooms with views and/or water music, the fig-shaded terrace--and all just steps away from the village, and roads to dozens of places to visit and things to see.
