Our French dream started to build from the moment we, Tim and Brecht, went to Entrecasteaux, a village next to Cotignac, for the first time together. As from that moment, we both fell in love with the region. Just like so many before us.
We came to visit the region as much as we could and very often with our first dog, Odette, that we rescued from the shelter. Unfortunately she got sick after three years with us and we then both decided that if we would ever find our dream holiday home, we would name it after her. And so we did.
Villa Odette was born.
But just like so many other properties in the region, the house wasn’t in the best condition the moment we purchased it. But even with all the work we knew we were going to have, we believed in the incredible potential of the house. It already took us blood, sweat and tears to get it the way it is today, of which we are already very proud but we will continue to improve things year after year.
Villa Odette is a cosy and peaceful place, hidden in het hills of Cotignac and surrounded by trees & green in the very heart of the Provence.
The villa combines the best of both worlds, calm and peacefully located with an incredible view just outside of the centre of the village, but easily doable to go by foot to the centre of Cotignac, at only 1 km of the house.
The villa can comfortably host up to ten guests. There are four bedrooms and each bedroom has a private and spacious ensuite bathroom to its disposal.
As French summers can get quite hot, the infinity pool gives you the perfect refreshment while enjoying the endless view.

Plenty of space around the house to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. There is one large wooden table and another smaller one. At the pool we offer a small lounge set and of course sun beds to enjoy your book next to the pool.
Other information
The house does not have AC nor a barbecue. A coal barbecue is not allowed during summer as this is a risk for forest fires. But we do have a large cooking plate, a plancha, for cozy grills around the table together.
