The rooms have a private entrance and a hairdryer in the bathroom. The Comfort and Superior categories can accommodate an extra bed on request. Each room has its own character thanks to its view, layout and capacity.

The outdoor areas include a garden and a terrace, as well as an outdoor swimming pool for sunny days. The rooms are air-conditioned and have a private entrance. Heating complements the indoor facilities, while the non-smoking rooms provide a comfortable setting for rest. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Overall, the property combines practical in-room amenities with shared spaces overlooking the garden.

Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume is a town in the Var, in the Provençal hinterland. Its centre is arranged around the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, a Gothic monument that defines the townscape and attracts visitors interested in religious heritage. The town’s streets, squares and Provençal façades make for a leisurely visit. The town suits travellers who want to combine heritage visits, walks and excursions through the Var countryside.

The Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is 2.6 km from l'Orée du Bois. At 5.7 km, the Musée des Gueules Rouges in Tourves tells the story of bauxite mining and the region’s miners. The Jardin de l'Enclos, 2.4 km away, is a pleasant place for a walk in town. For a higher vantage point in the surrounding area, Colle de Garrade is 1.3 km away. A roadside rest stop is also 2.9 km away; a car is useful for visiting the villages and sights scattered across the countryside.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks, with generally milder temperatures than in summer. Summer days are a chance to enjoy the swimming pool and terraces, although the heat can make afternoon walks less pleasant. You could start the day with a visit to the basilica, continue with the museum dedicated to mining history, then finish with an outing in the surrounding countryside. To explore further afield, plan to have a vehicle and allow time for the Var’s secondary roads.
