Set in palm-filled gardens, the whitewashed buildings of this luxurious villa are grouped around the pool deck. A courtyard shaded by a pine tree creates a perfect oasis and there are two alfresco dining areas – one under a bougainvillaea draped pergola and another under traditional wood rafters. There’s also a lawn and fishpond to entertain the kids, as well as a pétanque court and there’s a gym with yoga mats, weights and a cross trainer. Inside, there’s a living area with a grand piano and we love the main suite with its fireplace and access to a terrace. There’s also an independent guest suite ideal for those wanting privacy. Location-wise, the family favourite, Port d’es Torrent, is within walking distance.
