The terrace extends these spaces, and sun loungers and parasols are also available. Free parking is provided on site, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the guest house.

The room has an en-suite bathroom, a shower, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. An electric kettle and dining table complete the amenities.

Besse-sur-Issole lies in the Var hinterland, among Provençal hills dotted with villages, farmland and vineyards. The village offers a stop away from the major seaside resorts, with a village atmosphere and roads connecting it to neighbouring communities. The area suits travellers looking to explore inland Provence by car, discover its heritage and alternate sightseeing with quiet moments.

Besse-sur-Issole centre is 1.5 km away. Nearby, Château des Pontevès bears witness to local history; Commanderie de Peyrassol combines a vineyard with an introduction to the wines of the Var. Thoronet Abbey, a remarkable Cistercian complex surrounded by forest, makes for a heritage excursion in the area. Sainte-Anastasie railway station is 5 km away, while Toulon-Hyères Airport is 28 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between villages, vineyards and more distant sights.

For a day out, you could spend the morning exploring local heritage and scenery, then visit a vineyard or head for the Var coast. Spring and autumn are pleasant for walks and sightseeing, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In summer, the seasonal outdoor swimming pool offers a refreshing break after excursions. The markets and neighbouring villages are also a chance to sample Provençal produce and discover the pace of life in the Var hinterland.
