Gîte du Pagoulin

Close to the city and the sea, the Gîte du Pagoulin is nevertheless located in the heart of the countryside. Here, amidst the fruit trees, you'll discover an unexpected panorama of the horticultural plain and the hills of Hyères.

Pagoulin, in Provençal, means "peasant", and with good reason: you're here on the land of the Barale family, farmers since 1800... "They were market gardeners, then farmers They were market gardeners, then horticulturists. The greenhouses were dismantled in 2000 ," recounts Karine, who opened the establishment in 2015. " The gîtes have been set up in the buildings of the horticultural farm where I have many memories with my grandfather ".

Outside, you'll meet Cachou and Pépète, the two donkeys and the hens who keep the children happy on the huge lawn where they have a slide and swing.

But if the country setting is a source of calm and authenticity, it doesn't imply any renunciation of comfort, or even aesthetics.

Inside, the decor is modern and uncluttered, with terracotta floors, warm, soft colors and wooden furniture custom-made by a carpenter. The quality of the equipment is evident in the bedding, kitchens and bathrooms.

And then there's Karine's dream breakfasts, with organic fruit juices and cereals, jams, chestnut cream and homemade cakes made with fruit from the garden.

The welcome here is like that of a family, which explains why many of our guests have been coming back for 3 years already... and for longer stays!

The establishment is open all year round and has a total sleeping capacity of 6/7 people, spread over 3 rooms or 2 gîtes.

In the immediate vicinity :

• all shops and amenities ;
• a bus stop serving the Tour Fondue (boats to Porquerolles), Toulon and Saint-Tropez;
• free shuttle bus to the historic center (1.3 km);
• the bike path, 3 km from the sea.

No need for a car, Karine can pick you up at the station.
