The outdoor swimming pool and garden make the shared areas an important part of life at this guest house. You can sit on the sun terrace or the other terrace, or meet other guests in the shared lounge with a TV. Outdoor furniture is also provided so you can enjoy the garden. The buffet breakfast rounds off the services available on site.

Free private parking is available without prior reservation. Wi-Fi is available free of charge throughout the property. The family rooms can accommodate different types of travellers, and air conditioning is a practical feature in the rooms.

Flassans-sur-Issole is a village in the Var, in the Provençal hinterland, among hills, vineyards and small towns. La Bastide de Monique is on the Route de Pignans, in a rural setting where a car makes it easier to get around. The village offers a quiet stop for travellers who want to explore the landscapes and heritage of the department’s interior, away from the seaside resorts.

In the village, the Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Church and the Clock Tower offer a glimpse of local heritage. The Château des Pontevès is 1.4 km away; the Commanderie de Peyrassol wine estate, known for its wines and contemporary art exhibitions, is 3.8 km away. Aoubré park offers outdoor activities and opportunities to discover nature. For a heritage visit, the Thoronet Abbey, a remarkable Cistercian complex, is 11 km away. The stations at Gonfaron and Carnoules provide train access to the area, followed by a road journey.

Spring and autumn are well suited to walks through villages and wine estates, while summer lets you enjoy the terraces and swimming pool after a day of sightseeing. You could combine a stroll through the village with a stop at the Peyrassol estate and a visit to Thoronet Abbey. The Var beaches are accessible for a day trip, but allow time for the drive to the coast. In September, vineyards add colour to the harvest season.
