A Most Luxurious French Villa

This estate delivers a relaxed lifestyle, with all the attractions of Saint-Tropez a short drive away

The estate has the feel and amenities of a very private, very exclusive resort. (Carlton Group)

Featuring a very private location, this classically styled home is surrounded by lush gardens with terraces overlooking the fabled Saint-Tropez, a resort town on the French Riviera. Set on two acres of manicured gardens, the estate is a five-minute drive from the waterfront at Vieux-Port.

The 5,393-square-foot villa features seven bedrooms and baths in a design that’s a mix of traditional provincial style and modern chic.

Lush, well-groomed landscaping frames the large heated pool and lounge area. (Carlton Group)

Upon entering the villa, owners and their guests are welcomed into a grand entrance hall that leads to a double reception room. Also on this level is an airy salon with a fireplace for chilly mornings, as well as a well-equipped kitchen adjacent to the formal dining room and a spacious bedroom and private bathroom. This suite provides its occupants a relaxing view of and easy access to the surrounding gardens and grounds.

The grand entry foyer leads to a reception hall, the salon, and upstairs via the staircase. (Carlton Group)

The upper floor is the location of yet another spacious bedroom and bathroom, with these accommodations further enhanced by a terrace ideal for enjoying an intimate meal while taking in the scenery provided by the gardens and pool, with the sea as a backdrop. On the garden level, there are two additional bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and a separate apartment that can be used as staff quarters or a guest room.

The spacious living room can be opened in warm weather, and affords a view of the adjacent winter gallery. (Carlton Group)

The grounds are accented by elegant terraces and patios dotting the well-groomed landscaping and an oversized heated swimming pool; the view for those in the pool or the adjacent lounges looks out over the grounds and offers tantalizing glimpses of the sea, making this a perfect setting for al fresco meals and late-night dips. Other notable amenities include a dining terrace, a winter gallery, and an outdoor kitchen. Adjacent to the main residence is a luxurious guest villa with three additional bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms.

The well-equipped kitchen has ample food preparation surfaces, with plenty of room for multiple chefs to work. (Carlton Group)

With Saint-Tropez a short drive away, the owners and their guests have convenient access to five-star restaurants along the waterfront in Vieux-Port, which can be followed by exploring the citadel, shopping at chic boutiques, participating in world-class nightlife, or spending time on the famous beach, which is said to often be dotted with jet-setting celebrities.

The cozy salon with a fireplace for chilly weather, opens directly onto the pool terrace. (Carlton Group)
