Outstanding Contemporary Villa In The Heart Of Olive Trees

Salernes is a small Provençal town in the Var department, set in the Haut-Var inland between the Gorges du Verdon and the Massif des Maures. It has a long-established identity as a centre of traditional ceramic and terracotta tile production, a craft that has shaped the town’s character for centuries. The surrounding landscape is defined by oak woodland, olive groves, and limestone hills, placing it firmly within the quieter, more agricultural side of Provence rather than the coastal corridor.

The weekly market on Place du 8 Mai draws producers from across the Haut-Var. The town has a handful of working ceramic ateliers and small restaurants serving regional cuisine. Cotignac, Aups, and Tourtour are each within a 20-minute drive, offering additional dining, markets, and the Lac de Sainte-Croix for outdoor recreation.

Salernes sits roughly 80 kilometres from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, approximately one hour and 15 minutes by car via the A8 motorway. Draguignan, the nearest significant town, is around 25 kilometres away. The TGV station at Les Arcs-Draguignan connects to Paris Gare de Lyon in under four hours, and to Marseille in under one hour, making the property accessible without relying solely on air travel.
