Exceptional provençal property

CO EXCLUSIVE Designed by Robert Streitz, a disciple of architect Emilio Terry, La Casella is a gem built in 1960 and is a replica of an 18th-century neoclassical pavilion built for Madame de Pompadour in Fontainebleau. Upon entering the property, the lucky visitor to this unique Provençal jewel is confronted with a fabulous series of “sectors” in the garden. Each terrace has a different look and character from the next, but each is also a carefully considered Entity, with lush lawns and varied plantings in a clever balance of order and formality. With a total of eight terraces etched into the rolling terrain , each terrace has its own special season. La Casella is divided between the main house, with two double bedrooms each with en suite bathroom, and a single bedroom with access to an adjacent shower room, and 'Tom's Cottage', a house with two further double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and a single bedroom sharing a bathroom. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with elegant bathrooms and air conditioning. The two buildings are only a few dozen meters apart, they offer a feeling of individual space. Above the olive tree terraces is a summer house with a large swimming pool, equipped with sun loungers to enjoy the Côte d'Azur sun. From here the view extends across the estate to the Riviera Mountains.
