About this house rental
Le Vieux Moulin is a large restored 18th century Provencal house overlooking the medieval village of Seillans (listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France with its restaurants, shops and cobbled pedestrian streets). A short walk down the back lane takes you there.
A swimming pool with a magnificent view of mountains and village sits on the opposite side of the large olive tree grove. Vestiges of the original Vieux Moulin (old olive mill) greet you on the driveway leading up to the house. The stream which powered the mill burbles along at the bottom of our adjacent field.
The house has a large outside terrace, tiled in travertine marble and shaded by wisteria, ideal for balmy outdoor dining and a wonderful view of the village and the Esterel mountains. Outside tables and chairs can seat 8 people.
The house reflects the spirit of the artist who originally restored it: floors tiled in travertine or traditional Provincial terracotta, handpainted Spanish tiling in the bathroom and kitchen, artworks and antiques both inside and out.
The setting is extremely peaceful and comfortable and a short drive takes you to the markets of nearby villages (Fayence, Bargemon, Mons), the museums of Vence and Antibes or the glamour and excitement of La Cote d'Azur (45 minutes to Cannes, an hour to St. Tropez or Nice).
The house has three upstairs bedrooms and a full bathroom (with tub/shower, toilet and bidet) plus a bonus living room (or bedroom) upstairs which opens to fields outside. There is an additional toilet downstairs with an antique sink carved from a single piece of stone. The three bedrooms have queen size beds and one of the rooms has a dividing wall, creating an additional single bedroom. Each bedroom has a desk and wonderful views.
The kitchen was fully renovated in 2011 with a new double sink,dishwasher, gas range, electric oven and ample prep space. An in-kitchen table seats four and a separate dining room seats eight comfortably. The easily accessible outdoor veranda has a fabulous view of the 12th century village of Seillans.
The living room has a television, DVD player, house library and CD sound system. There is is a couch, two large armchairs & ottomans for lounging, along with a small desk.
The separate dining room can also be used as a study -- it has an additional large antique table by the window and a printer/office supplies in an adjoining cupboard.

This farmhouse is a very special place. It is wonderfully authentic with stunning views of the pretty village of Seillans. The rooms have an simple and eclectic feel with unique furnishing that hint to the homes artistic owners past. You arrive in the picturesque village of Seillans the drive up to the home through a mature Olive grove. The home is set in a large garden with a good sized pool that enjoys wonderful views of the village. The whole family loved our stay here where we were transported back in time to an elegant restful place.

We have been coming to this lovely vacation villa for 17 years. The location is exactly right - tucked away in sweet French village, close enough to the Côte d’Azur for day trips. We love the authenticity of the home with thick stone walls to keep the house cool on the warmest days.

This was my third visit to La Maison du Vieux Moulin, all be it separated by 15 years ! This year I was accompanied by children and grandchildren and we all had a happy experience. The property and the village is as beautiful as I remembered;it did not disappoint. The house is spacious and comfortable, cool even in the heat and there was always enough hot water for the six of us. The kitchen has been modernized since my last visit and it is well equipped and functions well. The pool was enjoyed by all of us-especially the children. We ate most meals outside, under the wisteria arbor facing the breathtaking view of Seillans, ever changing with the light. A truly magical place.
