About This Villa

In the beautiful foothills of the Massif des Maures, this welcoming bastide is a delightful family home near hilltop Grimaud, set in a gorgeous garden overlooking woodland and vineyards, yet only 20km from the allure of Saint-Tropez.

Bastide Des Maures sleeps up to 13 guests (10 adults plus 3 children) across its six inviting bedrooms and attractive living spaces. Across the ground floor you can kick back and relax in the air-conditioned lounge with two sets of French windows opening out to the spacious garden. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped and leads through to a wood-beamed dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows sliding open.

Across both floors and in a separate annexe, there are six air-conditioned bedrooms, five of which are en-suite doubles (some can be converted into twins) plus a children’s triple bedroom with a bunk-bed. Families are warmly received here with toys, board games and table tennis alongside the vast amount of outdoor space for garden games across the lawns.

Indeed, across the 1.5 acre of glorious grounds you will discover ample room for lazing in the sun or sipping a glass of Côtes de Provence overlooking the pine trees and forested hills beyond. The swimming pool can be heated on request (at an extra charge outside July/August) and there is a superb poolside pergola with a summer kitchen for idyllic al-fresco dining. Imagine spending warm summer evenings with loved ones chatting by the outdoor lounge with clear starry skies above you.

Flower-filled Grimaud is merely 8km away, a traditional hilltop village full of character with restaurants, charming shops, art galleries and a wonderful Thursday morning market. There are more atmospheric markets down in Port Grimaud including a weekly night market in the height of the summer, such a lovely way to spend the evening alongside Port Grimaud’s cafes, restaurants and canals.

Of course, the allure of Saint-Tropez also awaits whether you wish to embrace its glitz and glamour or simply potter around the cobbled lanes of its enchanting old quarter. The iconic beach clubs of Plage de Pampelonne are just a little further or stay closer to home for sandy shores and seasonal watersports at Plage de Grimaud or Plage de Cogolin.

Spend time coming across other hillside villages with stunning views of the French Riviera such as Gassin and Ramatuelle or venture further into the hinterland for hiking, mountain biking, canoeing along the Argens River, the rural market town of Lorgues and some of the Var’s finest wine châteaux and restaurants.
