Villa Heart

About this property

Welcome to the stunning Villa Heart. Spread out across one level, this enchanting four-bedroom neo-Provençal villa is an open-planned haven. As you enter, you are greeted by the spacious living space with terracotta tiles. An oak dining table centres the room and is ideal for the whole family to gather around on up to nine, high-backed chairs. Characterful semi-circle windows and patio doors let in an abundance of light.

A cosy kitchen has all the essentials you need to create delicious meals. The lounge has comfortable sofas that sit in front of a flat-screen TV and wood-burning chimney, which keeps the villa cosy in the winter months. The villa has four charming bedrooms, sleeping eight guests and one child. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and flat-screen TV, whilst in the second and third bedrooms, the double beds convert into two single beds, perfect for families with children. Each bedroom has direct access to the outdoors, with one bedroom leading to a private courtyard with soft armchairs and a small fish pond and fountain - how idyllic! You'll also find two main bathrooms; one in the master bedroom and a separate family bedroom, as well as two independent toilets for added convenience. 

Outside, the villa is a private oasis for you to enjoy. An L-shaped heated pool sits in the middle of a patio with a sunken beach on one edge, surrounded by a garden filled with fauna and flora. Six sunbeds are dotted around the patio, ready for guests to soak up the sunshine. Guests also have access to an outdoor shower, a refreshing break from the warming sun.

Under a roofed shelter sits a rustic outdoor table, seating eight guests on wooden benches or cushioned seats, great for alfresco diners in the evening while watching the gorgeous sunset. On the other side of the patio, you have access to a pool house that sits to one side with its own bar, bar stools, fridge and sink. The villa also has a built-in SONOS music system, heard out on the patio and inside the villa, so you can enjoy music into the evening together.

The large patio areas, heated L-shaped swimming pool with its submerged beach and its pool house provide unrivalled views of the San Peire hill to the south of Le Plan de la Tour, which is a particularly charming Provençal village due to the friendly locals, its many restaurants, bars and shops.

Villa Heart is nestled amongst picturesque hamlets and villages in southern France. The main hamlet the villa is near is Saint-Martin, a charming village, filled with cobbled streets and archways. Although small, the local area is filled with bars, restaurants, and shops to enjoy beneath aged trees. Every Thursday morning, stroll through the village market, purchasing fresh local products to enjoy back at the villa which is a mere ten-minute walk away.

There are a couple of independent vineyards nearby which also offer wine tasting and tours. Les Marquets and Beaucas are well worth a visit but if you are after a bit more, the wine tastings on a Sunday morning at La Cave Des Maures are a divine way to enjoy your French getaway.

Villa Heart is only 12 miles away from the infamous Saint Tropez. Another stop well worth visiting on your way is Port Grimaud, known as the 'Venice' of the area - so romantic! Originally a small fishing town, St Tropez was put on the map in the 1950s when Brigitte Bardot starred in a French movie set in the town. Brigitte later brought a house in Saint Tropez where she still resides! Today, Saint Tropez is a haven of glitz and glamour, and has captured the hearts of film lovers and literary experts, making it one of the world’s most famous villages.

The south of France has an abundance of beaches to enjoy, and Villa Heart is only six miles from Sainte Maxime beaches. Sainte Maxime is a small town on the opposite side of the Gulf of Saint Tropez Bay, with several beaches within its perimeter. The beach has golden sand with direct access to the cooling sea. Cafés, bars and restaurants are peppered along the shoreline, offering a bit of cooling shade from the sizzling summer sun.

If you fancy going a little further afield, take a day trip and discover Europe’s largest canyon, Verdon Gorge. Float above the turquoise-green water on kayak or boat tours and look up at the vast grey rock above. Along the coastline, there are a variety of water sports to choose from including water skiing, wake boarding, inflatable rides, pedal boats, kayaks, paddle boarding. In the busier summer months, it’ll be worth booking these activities ahead to avoid disappointment and potentially missing out!
