B&B Apartments Les Glycines

The Dutch owners Remko and Sheila are happy to welcome you in their holiday accommodation in the Haute Provence near Sisteron. A former hotel-bar-restaurant from 1870, now converted into 3 comfortable rooms (chambres d’hotes or b&b) and 2 apartments (gites).

The house has a large garden facing south, which offers shade under the chestnut and cherry trees.

Its main feature is a beautiful large terrace of 150m2 sheltered from the sun by a magnificent wisteria (glycines). In the garden you will also find the swimming pool with terrace and sunbeds.

Private covered parking available for cars and motorbikes.

In the Alpes de Haute Provence, between Sisteron and Laragne-Montéglin, you will find the village of Mison-les-Armands. A couple of hundred meters outside the village, towards Mison-le-Village, you will find our B&B / Apartments rental Les Glycines surrounded by many trees and lush vegetation. The wonderful climate, about 300 sunny days a year, makes it an ideal place for outdoor activities.

From the house you can take varied walks and bike rides across the rolling hills and into the foothills of the southern Alps visible on the horizon, we have detailed maps available for you. Mountain hikes and climbing (e.g. at Sisteron and Orpierre) are popular local sports, as are horse riding and mountain biking.

An excellent way to get to know the neighbourhood: a 7 kilometer jogging (or walking) trip through the hills, over the plateau de Mison with a stunning view on the Büech river and the Gorges de la Méouge. Back at Les Glycines you take a refreshing dip in the pool.
