Villa Polo

Enjoy wonderful sea views from your Mediterranean gardens and terraces at this stunning Côte d’Azur villa looking out towards the bay of Saint-Tropez, just a short stroll from a sandy beach and restaurants. The designer interiors of this gorgeous holiday home are both stylish and handsome with high-end furnishings and state of the art facilities including air-conditioning throughout. The splendid living room features sumptuous sofas and striking sculptures, a nod to the owners love of horses, whilst wide doors lead straight out to the glorious terrace. The impressive kitchen is equipped to a semi-professional standard, alongside a super stylish dining area, again with doors bringing the outside in. Bedrooms are just as sophisticated, each with king-size double beds and luxurious en suite bath or shower rooms, some with doors leading to yet another beautiful terrace or balcony. Indeed, across this magnificent home there are many picture-perfect spots whether al-fresco dining with family and friends or seeking a little solitude with a glass of rosé. The gardens are also divine, filled with olive trees, flowering beds and other scents of the Mediterranean, alongside the heated swimming pool and cooling shade of the pool house. Wander down to the sandy beach close by and enjoy the array of restaurants in the area. There is also a prestigious 18-hole golf course close by as well as tennis courts, whilst the lovely seaside town of Sainte-Maxime is just 4km away. This coastline is all about brilliant beaches, a wealth of watersports and superb scenery across the bay of Saint-Tropez. Hop on one of the summer shuttle boats in Sainte-Maxime which whisks you to Saint-Tropez for a brilliant day out or follow the winding roads towards some of the region’s idyllic hilltop villages such as Grimaud, Gassin and Ramatuelle. Hike through the hills of the Massif des Maures or along the wild coastline further west and find some great family attractions from go-karting and fun-fairs to waterparks and zoos. Whatever your age and interests, this captivating part of the French Riviera will appeal to everyone.

It’s around a ten to fifteen minute stroll down the hill to the coast where the nearest sandy beach can be found, alongside a selection of restaurants. There are even more beaches within close proximity – walk or cycle a further kilometre to reach a lovely sandy spot backed by pine trees or drive towards Sainte-Maxime and beyond for family-friendly beaches and all sorts of watersports. The beach at Port Grimaud is another favourite for families and easy to find. Hiring bikes is a great way to explore the beaches along this stretch of coastline, especially as sometimes parking can be limited. Sainte-Maxime (4km) is a delightful town with a relaxed seaside vibe alongside historic charm and a number of good restaurants and shops. Don’t miss the lovely market on a Thursday morning. You can also hop on one of the boat shuttles to Saint-Tropez, a great way to beat the summer traffic. Saint-Tropez (13km) is of course famous for its glitz and glamour with its impressive marina and high-end restaurants, yet it still retains the charm of a fishing village with pastel-coloured fishermen cottages and picturesque winding lanes filled with enchanting places to eat and shop. Driving south, discover Pampelonne Beach (17km) and dine at one of the upmarket beach restaurants, home to the well-known Club 55. This is also a great location for visiting some of Var’s wonderful villages such as Grimaud (10km) with its flower-filled streets, Gassin (12km) with its exceptional views and lovely Ramatuelle (14km). The region is also home to a number of golf courses, the closest being under 2km away and others including Gary Player’s Golf Club Saint-Tropez (10km) in a truly spectacular setting. Horse-riding is also possible in the area whilst walkers can experience wonderful trails through the Maures hills or along the wild La Croix-Valmer coastline. There are yet more family attractions around Fréjus (27km) or drive as far as beautiful Cannes (65km) for a great day out.
