About Lorgues

Lorgues can be found in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France, in the middle of an abundance of vineyards and fields of olive trees. It is situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Gorges du Verdon, so you are in the perfect position (only 40 minutes) to enjoy the Riviera beaches and glamour or the breathtaking scenery and adventures of France’s greatest canyon.  

Lorgues is a small fortified provençal town, with its tight-packed streets, medieval towers, fountains and St Martin church whose grey stones glow pink as the sun sets. Many of its buildings are painted in a multitude of Provençal colors with contrasting shutters which create the perfect backdrop to the most popular and largest market in the area.

There are two large supermarkets, a plethora of bakeries and banks, newsagents, chemists, bars and cafés.

There are also plenty of restaurants that will cater for all your holiday needs, ranging from France’s finest truffle Michelin-starred restaurant (Chez Bruno) to more modest local Provençal fare and pizzerias. Almost every direction you go there is a vineyard, producing its own local wines and ready for tasting!

Mas Dinina is only a few minutes drive to the centre of Lorgues.

SOME OF THE LOVELY THINGS OUR GUESTS HAVE SAID

"We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful property and it was perfect for our needs. Charmingly decorated and spotlessly clean, with everything you might need for a fantastic stay including lots of helpful information about the house and the surrounding area. We particularly enjoyed the outside spaces - both the large terrace for dining, just off the kitchen and the fantastic pool area."  
Francesca B

"I just wanted to say what a wonderful holiday we had at Mas Dinina. The house worked so well, it was lovely to stay in a villa that is a real home rather than just a rental. We loved the area too!"

Rowena

"Thank you James so much!  It's a real home rather than a holiday letting and has fabulous space outside and inside! We loved our stay!"

Rose H

"We are so delighted that we have found this charming French family property, surrounded by olive trees and in a very peaceful location. The house was perfect for our family ranging from 12 - 71 years! We celebrated a 70th birthday whilst staying and it couldn't have been a better house for such an occasion. The outside dining area, patio's and seating areas are just brilliant spaces for relaxing, eating, reading or enjoying a glass of local rosé. The pool is lovely with plenty of space to sit in the sun or cool off in the shade of the open pool house. The house is extremely well equipped and in particular the kitchen, it has everything you would ever need for entertaining. The bedrooms and bathrooms are really lovely, the beds are very comfortable. We loved our time at Maison de Lorgues and can't wait to return. We would recommend a day out at Sainte-Croix du Verdon or Antibes and an evening in Mougins."

"A perfect peaceful location. This property works well for either 2 families or a single extended family. With 4 bathrooms there are no more morning lines and the modernised and very well equipped kitchen makes life easy for the meal preparers. Lorgues is easy walking distance for those who want to burn off a few calories after enjoying meals at the local restaurants. It is a pretty, small town that has all the amenities one could need including 3 boulangeries and an excellent traiteur in the main street. The surrounding towns and villages all have their own special feel; we particularly liked Carces with its' amazing trompe l'oeil decorations on the buildings and the way new buildings - maison de retraite and a parking station - have been integrated into the local architecture. There are a lot of towns in the world that could benefit from seeing how it should be done. This a great property, clean and well managed and with all the facilities you could want."

It is rare for a holiday rental to live up to, and in most instances, exceed expectations. This villa does! The bedrooms are perfect for a large group with three rooms en-suite and the other two sharing a large shower room. All needs were comfortable and the rooms well decorated. The living space is perfect for a large group as there are several seating areas, a large kitchen and plenty of storage. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. Outside the grounds are extensive. The pool is lovely and large. The seating areas are well spread out so that people can have peace and quiet if needed. The villa is 1.2 miles from Lorgues and so getting bread etc in the morning is easy on foot or by car. It is equally easy to walk into town for a drink. The local restaurants are great too. Lorgues is stunning. We'd never been before but fell for the simplicity of the town whilst the history of the medieval centre is fascinating. We hope to return!
