About This Villa

Located between Saint-Tropez and Gorges du Verdon, this gorgeous domaine is set in complete privacy surrounded by a hillside garden and forest beyond. A characterful village hosting the region’s largest Provençal market is just a 10-minute drive away.

With a glorious heated swimming pool, poolside summer kitchen and various terraces in its vast garden, this is a picture-perfect house in the Dracénie region of Provence. It was a dream come true for its new owners who moved to southern France just a few years ago and they have renovated the house to the highest of standards. What especially attracted them to the domaine was the sense of great privacy, surrounded by a 20-hectare forested estate with vistas of vineyards and olive groves – there’s an authentic ‘wow factor’ here!

Sleeping up to 12 guests, there are six bedrooms across three floors. Guests can expect hotel quality mattresses, air-conditioning in the bedrooms, beautiful bath and shower rooms (some en suite) as well as fine furnishings and very tasteful décor across the villa’s elegant lounge, TV room and stylish kitchen-diner with everything you may need.

Stone steps lead through the landscaped Provençal garden down to the impressive salt-water swimming pool with its summer kitchen beneath the shaded pool house, including a shower and WC. There are other idyllic spots scattered across the garden, ideal for a morning coffee as the birds sing, al-fresco lunches beneath the fig tree and peaceful evening apéritifs - perhaps a glass of wine from a local family-run winery or even the award-winning vineyards of Château de Berne, only 10km away.

Families will adore the pétanque court, table tennis, basketball hoop and little football goals whilst there are some wonderful walking opportunities across the estate. When it’s time to leave this tranquil idyll, it’s just a 6km drive to an old Provençal village known for its pretty houses, fountains and atmospheric Tuesday morning market.

In the Var hinterland, Abbaye du Thoronet is just a 15-minute drive away, the magnificent waterfalls near Sillans-la-Cascade can be reached in half an hour whilst Aups, the gateway to the Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon, is only 29km by car. Closer to home, find horse-riding, mountain biking as well as watersports and summer swimming in the Argens River.

Heading south, wind through the Massif des Maures, stopping off in mountain villages, until you reach flower-filled Grimaud, the beaches of Sainte-Maxime or glamourous Saint-Tropez – it’s amazing that you could be on a ferry sailing from Sainte-Maxime to Saint-Tropez within an hour.
