Description
In the Maures hills behind the bay of Saint-Tropez, this upmarket French Riviera villa offers contemporary style and high-end features in a picturesque setting near the historic village of Le Plan-de-la-Tour.
Villa Paonne allows you to experience the allure of the Côte d’Azur alongside the authenticity of its hinterland. Step inside and be inspired by the chic décor with the home’s elegant living space opening out to the terraces and swimming pool. There are Smart TVs in every room (and home cinema sound in the lounge), Sonos speakers across the house and terrace alongside a brilliantly equipped sleek kitchen-diner and a spacious spa with hammam and 6-person jacuzzi.
Sleeping 10 guests, discover four gorgeous bedrooms on the ground floor (three doubles and one twin), all with en suite shower rooms and doors opening out to the garden or terrace. Following the open-sided staircase upstairs, the privately situated 30m2 master double is on the first floor with an open-plan bathroom and private terrace ideal for your morning coffee or evening drinks by candlelight.
Outdoors, the terraces have been designed for convivial living on the outdoor lounge and al-fresco dining both on the main terrace and beside the pool house with its traditional barbecue and bar. The swimming pool can be heated on request (for a supplement) and there is a verdant garden with palm trees to remind you how close you are to the glistening Mediterranean.
The modern house is set in a hamlet only 2km from the heart of Le Plan-de-la-Tour, a charming village with old stone houses, restaurant terraces, little shops and a delightful market on a Thursday morning reminiscent of Provence. Surrounded by vineyards and forests, discover hiking trails, horse-riding and cycling/mountain biking nearby. Grimaud is another picture-perfect village close by with its flower-filled lanes and glorious vistas of Saint-Tropez bay from its hilltop setting.
Yet the beaches of the Côte d’Azur are never far away – soak up the seaside ambience of Sainte-Maxime as you stroll by its marina or along the promenade before stopping for lunch on a café terrace. Plage de Grimaud is a wonderful spot for swimming and watersports and visit the picturesque canals of Port Grimaud, best explored by boat.
Ferries from Sainte-Maxime or Port Grimaud will whisk you away to Saint-Tropez whilst Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël and even Cannes are other fantastic days out. After a day exploring the French Riviera, you will appreciate returning to the peace of Villa Paonne – don’t forget to make the most of the extensive concierge services in the comfort of your beautiful holiday abode. /n Security deposit /n €2000 charged to client’s credit card (excluding Amex) by the owner one month before arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 5.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Yes. /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes. /n Pets welcome? /n Not allowed. /n Other Ts and Cs /n A cot and highchair can be requested. /n Other Ts and Cs /n Weddings are on request only and subject to prior arrangement with the owner and additional charges.
