An enclosed garden in Provence
Les Olives is a small naturist estate of 1500 sqm, fully fenced, with no overlooking neighbours, in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume. You get there on a 15 minute walk from the town's historic centre, and Aix-en-Provence is only 30 km away. The property is planted with trees and flowers, you can hear the cicadas in summer, a genuine Mediterranean setting.
Florence and Lucas run the place and are described as attentive hosts, which comes through in visitor feedback on the quality of the welcome.
The accommodations
Two furnished units are on offer: the studio Les Lavandes, 40 sqm for 4 people, and the two room Les Romarins, 44 sqm for 4 people. Rates range from 72 to 895 euros a night depending on the season and the unit chosen, which leaves quite a spread between a simple off season stay and a high end rental in the height of summer.
The estate is affiliated with the Fédération Française de Naturisme, with a 10% discount for members. A detail that matters to regulars of FFN clubs looking for a stopover in Provence.
Pool and comfort
The heated pool measures 10 metres by 5, it is NF safety certified, a reassuring point for families with children. Terrace, garden and parking round out the amenities, in a setting built for relaxation rather than entertainment.
- Heated pool 10x5 m, NF safety standard
- Terrace and tree filled garden
- On site parking
- Fully equipped studios and two room units
Family atmosphere, not swinger
Les Olives champions a family style naturism, with no swinger dimension. That's what comes through in the reviews: couples and families particularly appreciate this peaceful setting, where nudity is lived without ulterior motives and where the diversity of naturist profiles is respected. Visitors of all ages find their place here, from the couple looking for a quiet weekend to the family on summer holiday.
This clear positioning, without swinging, makes it a different kind of address from swinger clubs or livelier campsites. Here, the mood stays calm, centred on rest, the pool and strolls into Saint-Maximin.
