About this property
Close to Saint-Tropez, the Maures forest and the sandy shores of Port Grimaud, Domaine Du Verger is a wonderful new estate sleeping up to 46 guests across four stylish villas, each with a private pool. Furthermore, a fifth stunning swimming pool awaits where you can all gather for Provençal feasts in the vast pool house or admire Mediterranean landscapes from the roof terrace.
Covering seven hectares in the hills behind Grimaud and Beauvallon, the four villas are beautifully set around an orchard and gardens. Each one has been thoughtfully designed with ample living and dining spaces, air-conditioning throughout and even glimpses of the glistening sea from many of the al-fresco terraces and gardens.
Offering flexible options for a family reunion or large get-together, many of the 25 bedrooms can be made up as a queen-size double or twin and most have their own private bath or shower room. Enjoy a peaceful breakfast on your terrace, perhaps with the aroma of summer lavender, admiring the olive and cypress trees in this idyllic French Riviera setting.
Cool off in your villa’s private swimming pool or wander up to the communal 20m long heated pool with its superb pool house. Sunbathe on the poolside gardens or roof terrace, play ping pong and table football in the games room or kick back in the pool house with sliding doors framing the magnificent vista.
Saint-Tropez is merely 11km away, an enchanting former fishing village with a glamourous vibe, historic old town and atmospheric markets, not to mention the famous beach clubs and watersports of Plage de Pampelonne. Closer to home are many more delightful spots from the family-friendly beaches and activities of Sainte-Maxime to the charm of Port Grimaud with its Venetian style waterways, perfect to explore by boat.
Awaken your senses at Grimaud’s Thursday morning Provençal market or hunt for antiques on a Sunday, followed by lunch in a picturesque restaurant set in the village’s medieval flower-filled lanes. Other picture-perfect places dotted across the Côte d'Azur hinterland include Ramatuelle and Gassin or head into the Maures forest for long hikes and characterful hilltop villages surrounded by oak, pine and chestnut trees.
Domaine Du Verger is set across a seven-hectare estate in the hills behind Grimaud and Beauvallon, a short drive to the beach and around 11km from glamourous Saint-Tropez.
Drive down to the beaches around Port Grimaud for sandy shores and a range of watersports or continue onwards to the relaxed seaside resort of Sainte-Maxime. Across this bay you will find inviting restaurants, some by the sea, and a good range of supermarkets for all your essentials within a short distance.
Around 8km away is the hilltop village of Grimaud, a delightful place for lovely restaurants, café-bars and artisan shops along its flower-filled lanes. The Sunday morning antique market is especially charming whilst the Provençal market on a Thursday morning will awaken your senses with delicious regional produce for sale.
Down by the coast, Port Grimaud is another perfect spot for a morning out exploring – hire a boat to tour the waterways and admire the pretty houses and little bridges, then stop off for lunch by the marina.
Saint-Tropez is of course one of the most exciting draws of this area, reached by car in around 11km or beat the summer traffic by picking up a ferry from Port Grimaud. As well as its glitzy marina, impressive boutiques and upmarket restaurants, you can also soak up the charm of Saint-Tropez’ old town with its warren of winding lanes. Don’t miss the atmospheric Provençal market on a Tuesday and Saturday morning whilst beach lovers should head to Plage de Pampelonne with its watersports and trendy beach clubs.
Other picture-perfect villages dotted across this part of the Côte d'Azur hinterland include Cogolin, Ramatuelle and Gassin or head into the Maures Massif, passing chestnut, oak and pine forests, to visit La Garde-Freinet and Le Plan-de-la-Tour.
To experience a wilder part of the coastline, the beaches close to La Croix Valmer are a must - Plage de Gigaro is idyllic and there are some superb coastal walking trails as far as the incredible Cap Lardier. On your way back to Grimaud, stop off in La Croix Valmer’s vineyards to purchase some exceptional Côtes de Provence wine grown in this micro-climate of sunlight and sea air.
