Maison Fleurette

Set just 1.5km inland from the beaches of the beautiful French Riviera and just 10km away from the elegant town of Saint-Tropez, Maison Fleurette is the perfect place to stay for your holiday in the South of France.   

The home is located within a residential area not far from the coastline. You can find many shops, restaurants and a supermarket approximately 2km away from the villa. If you are looking for a broader range of shops and eateries, you could visit the medieval village of Grimaud, which is 7.5km from the villa. This picturesque village is great to have so close and has all of the amenities you could need. Wander around the pretty cobbled streets that lead to village squares filled with floral displays. There are many historic buildings and details to look out for too, including the ruins of the village walls and an 11th-century castle as well as a lovely Romanesque church.  

If you are visiting the French Riviera, you are sure to be on the lookout for a good beach, and in this area, you will be spoiled for choice. The closest long, sandy beach is in Les Prairies de la Mer, just 1.5km from the villa. Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to delve into a good book or a beach offering water sports and beach games, there is something for everyone dotted along the expansive coast.   

Of course, one of the larger nearby towns is the much-loved Saint-Tropez, which is just 10km away by car. This former fishing village is now known as a luxury beachside town often frequented by celebrities. When visiting, a great place to start is to head to one of the chic beach clubs on the gorgeous Plage de Pampelonne to unwind in the sun and soak up the atmosphere. These beach clubs offer comfy sun loungers and moreish cocktails to sip as you relax. If you prefer a quieter natural beach, head further down the coast to find the Plage de la Moutte, which backs onto some scenic hiking routes. Aside from the beaches, the town is also a brilliant place to explore, where you can visit the Musée de l'Annonciade art museum or the beautiful Citadel. There are also lots of options for a day of shopping ranging from the Place aux Herbes market to designer boutiques. If you plan to visit in the evening, take a trip to the exclusive Club 55 for dinner before heading to a few bars.   

The area around Saint-Tropez may be well-known for its fine dining and boutique shopping, but there is also plenty to do if you enjoy spending time outdoors in nature. With a sweeping coastline that backs onto forests, there are many picturesque places to visit and lots of activities to try out. If you like water sports, head to Riviera Water Sports, which is just 3km away; here, you can take part in jet skiing, kayaking, sailing, wakeboarding, or simply hire a pedalo. If you would like to learn more about sailing, then you can visit the sailing school and complete full-day courses just 5km away. If you prefer your sports to be on dry land, there are cycling routes everywhere, and tennis and golf can be found under 5km away.
