Claviers House | Romantic 18th Century Olive Mill with Pool, Terrace, Privacy, Air-Conditioning

2 Bedroom House in Claviers

The Moulin de la Viste is a tastefully restored olive mill built in 1776. With high beamed ceilings, thick stone walls, and a central patio with original mill features it is airy, light, and cool in the summer. The Mill is simply decorated with a combination of modern and antique furniture and original artwork.
The fully fenced, terraced garden faces south with mature trees, bushes, and flowers as well as original mill troughs. There are no immediate neighbors so there is complete privacy in the garden and salt-water pool. A shady terrace by the front door is furnished for outdoor eating right above a babbling brook. There is a Weber charcoal grills and a charcoal-lighting "chimney" for outdoor cooking.
The Mill is in a rural area outside an unspoiled village on a single-lane, winding road 1.5km from the main road amid olive trees and woods and is surrounded by nature. Spend your days by the pool relaxing and reading or visit the many surrounding villages and natural sights on day trips. There are open-air markets almost every day in one of the neighboring towns.
The house is over two hundred years old and was built along a river so that the water would power the millstones that extracted olive oil. Some of those millstones can still be seen in the patio and on the terrace. The Mill's location on a river bank means that it can get damp and may need to be aired out during prolonged days of rain, such as in winter and early spring. However, the summer months are usually dry and sunny and the cool interior provides a welcome respite from the Provençal heat. The house has mini split heating/air conditioning but the A/C is rarely needed.
NEW in 2025:
Air conditioning mini splits
Induction cooktop
MIcrowave/convection oven
Washing machine
Please note that because the house is in a very rural setting, sometimes the internet breaks down and cannot be repaired immediately. It is provided by a DSL line and has very little bandwidth. If reliable internet is essential, please do not rent this house.
Every spring, as owners, we go to the Mill to get the house ready for the rental season. We complete any needed repairs, open the pool, and maintain the gardens. The Mill is a special place for us and we want our guests to appreciate it as much as we do. Your comfort and enjoyment are our priority as we prepare the house for the summer months.
Our caretakers will meet you upon arrival. Your beds will be made and linens laid out in the bathrooms and kitchen. We suggest you have your first dinner in the nearby village of Claviers at Restaurant Clavéro.
Take your meals on the terrace overlooking Le Riou, sip your coffee in the warmth of the morning sun. Shade for lunch is provided by an oversized umbrella and lovely trees. Dinner by the light of the setting sun is a relaxing way to end the day. Enjoy the cool evenings on the terrace listening to bird song and gazing at the enchanting Provençal night sky. Rest and rejuvenate at this special place.
PLEASE NOTE: RENTALS ARE ONLY FROM SUNDAY TO SUNDAY. If you are interested in renting the Moulin de la Viste, please include with your request a little bit of information about yourself and the other guests: who you are, where you live, why you wish to rent this house, etc. Thank you!

Summary: Beautifully restored old mill deep in the French countryside. Loved the outdoor dining with many butterflies and even a red squirrel! Excellent large swimming pool, loved the flamingo. Communication with owner and the local caretakers speedy and helpful. Calles and Claviers nearby, very quaint small villages. Visit to Pistou land next door an absolute treat! Make sure to stop by a supermarket on way in for essentials (shampoo/olive oil etc.) Lots of critters, as warned, so be prepared! A little tired in places (eg, towels have seen many washes) and few bits of updating needed on some of the facilities.

Summary: This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The house is located in a beautiful setting with lots of trees so plenty of shade, and very pretty well maintained garden. The pool is a great size and perfect for cooling off on a hot day. The house is beautiful and interesting and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well-equipped. Nice comfortable beds. There are lots of books and board games to borrow. Alain and Annick are very friendly and helpful, and were very patient while we practiced our French. Communication with Andrew was easy and he responded quickly to questions. Loved watching the beautiful butterflies and red squirrels, and even saw a wild boar that seemed to live in the field beyond the stream. Claviers was beautiful and we had a gorgeous meal at Le Clavero. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to others. Hopefully we will get back one day and next time we will definitely stay for longer than a week.

Summary: We really enjoyed staying in the house, which has a genius loci that one could perhaps describe as Villa Malaparte at the creek (not meant to be ironic). It has a very attratctive architectural design. Anouk an Alain took great care of the house, it was a pleasure to meet them!

Summary: We had a lovely week here, the house being in the Provencal countryside. Beautiful area and close to Claviers, Callas and Bargemon. The house itself had everything we needed and the dry riverbed at the end of the garden proved to be fascinating at night. Wild boar could be heard through the undergrowth and we saw on several occasions baby boar trotting through with their mother and a pine marten. Alain and Annick, who look after the property, were also very helpful. Highly recommended.

Summary: Private and perfectly nestled in the valley we all enjoyed the beautiful pool and modern facilities mixed with glorious old olive mill. The magical (and huge) butterflies swooping into the pool were a real treat. Playing cards on the patio and eating from the very well equipped kitchen was fantastic. It had a tasteful bohemian feel with vintage games and books on hand. A gem!

Summary: I stayed here for 1 week with my family including young children. We had a fabulous relaxing time enjoying the pool and staying cool inside the lovely old house. Lots of great walks close by and very nice restaurant in the village called L’Oliviers. Well equipped house and well looked after by Alan and Annick who were also super helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Summary: My wife and I chose this utterly charming converted olive mill as the destination to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. It turned out to be one of the most cherished experiences in our many years together. The setting is spectacular, overlooking a bucolic stream, with mountain views all around. The home is warm and cozy, just the right balance of rustic character and modern conveniences. Walks to the nearby village, afternoons reading by the pool, and gin-and-tonics on the patio are among our favorite memories.
