Sara et Edouard
The Old Deffend is an old farm, which we wanted to keep in "its juice". Of course, comfortable for the modern people we are, but nevertheless not denatured! It offers different accommodation: The vault: you will appreciate, in summer the freshness of this room located on the garden floor of the house, in winter relax in front of its wood stove. It can receive you with family, or friends with its double bed and two single beds, but also welcome you for a relaxing business trip. Its bathroom, kitchenette, bedroom/ living room and garden make it a pleasant cottage. The workshop: from the ground floor to the floor, it offers a double bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchenette with 2 beds for children and a private outdoor area with garden furniture. Very nice to receive a small family, or a couple. Its pretty views of the countryside will not fail to seduce you! The library: you will be immersed in books during your stay! More than 3000 books, conducive to future discussions. Located on the first floor, with a beautiful view of the garden and the pool, this double room is very cozy, with shovel bath and sink a few steps from the bed (private toilets located outside on the landing) .
Welcome to you! We have been open since 2011, Edouard and I live all year at the Deffend Vieux. We are keen to open our house with ease, and propose you to stay away from the hustle of the world, in our haven of peace. We ask you to respect this place, atypical, offering an exceptional view of the hill and the possibility to walk without hindrance. Edouard is passionate about music, literature and the lyrical arts. For me, Sara, it’s more about nature, the vegetable garden and creating objects.
We welcome you in the heart of Provence, between Sainte Victoire and Monts Auréliens -massif de la Sainte Baume. Between vineyards and hills, Le Deffend Vieux is a farmhouse dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, which offers a wide panorama of the Sainte Victoire appellation-controlled vineyards, near the Canal de Provence. The Deffend Vieux, rooms or cottages in Trets en Provence, is for those who are sensitive to authenticity. The sIte is exceptional with direct hiking from home, on foot or by bike. The quiet and protected environment, the vineyards in organic farming and the hills close by. To see around: Hermitage of Saint-Jean du Puy - Basilica of Saint-Maximin with relics of Marie-Madeleine- The cave of Marie-Madeleine in Sainte-Baume- Villages of Provence: Puyloubier- Le Tholonet - Vauvenargues with the Picasso Castle Staying at the Deffend Vieux means being able to visit during the day Cassis, Aix en Provence, the calanques of Marseille, the Verdon or even Arles and Camargue
