Location

Callas was originally  a sheep rearing area, later olive growing, so has its own Olive mill where growers take their olives for pressing. The origin of Les Micocouliers, was as two shepherds' cottages, each with its own bergerie or barn for the sheep, now providing plentiful storage space (cave): you can still see the iron rings to which the sheep were tied at night and the archways for  the big barn doors, which now lead onto the lower outdoor terrace and second bedroom and the Studio.

The Terraces outside are populated with Olive trees,  wild fig trees and walnut trees.  After heavy rain there is a large waterfall from the stream on the village side of the  property.

Wild boar are common in the area, Les Micocouliers is equipped with an electric fence around the main garden and pool, from property entrance to below the pool and with exit gates and automatic timer for the electricity.
