With sweeping views of rolling hills and a private pool where you’ll start warm mornings with a refreshing swim, this villa is a great place to relax and reconnect with your loved ones. As soon as you arrive, you’ll notice the amount of effort your host has put into making in more than just a poolside villa. The living area has a stargazing telescope, a well-equipped library, a brilliant kitchen that's perfect for experimenting with French recipes and a large terrace with charcoal barbecue for alfresco dinners that last well into the evening. After a spot of sunbathing on the loungers, take the thirty-minute drive to Saint Tropez and stroll along the soft sands of Pampelonne Beach or, if you’re an outdoorsy type, embark on a hike through the countryside – there is a number of walking trails minutes from your doorstep.
