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.
There is also the possibility to hire only two or three out of the four villas, allowing greater flexibility for smaller groups wishing to stay here. When booking the 24-person rate, two villas are made available to you (12 bedrooms) whilst the 36-person rate allows you to stay across three villas (18 bedrooms).
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.
