We love the communal facilities at this charming villa. There are three swimming pools, no less, including a wave pool, a spa, a restaurant, a supermarket, and tennis courts. You can also simply relax on the terrace shaded by the vine covered pergola and take in the countryside views. Inside, there’s a traditional French vibe, and the vistas from the main bedroom deserve a mention, too. Both bedrooms have air conditioning, which is handy for when the temperature rises. And when you feel like exploring, this villa is ideally placed. Port Grimaud is just a five-minute drive, while Saint-Tropez is also easily reached by car. Or let your host arrange a boat rental and explore the French Riviera’s turquoise waters.
