About the surrounding area of Villa AnselGuests will adore Villa Ansel’s extensive grounds in the lush pine clad hills of La Croix Valmer. It is an ideal location to relax, rejuvenate and spend time with family or friends. Visitors can enjoy amazing views and can explore the vineyards and historical remains in the area. La Croix Valmer’s weekly market is one of the most famous in the Gulf of Saint Tropez and a brilliant place to pick up local produce and wine. The village hosts some wonderful cultural events, exhibitions, concerts and festivals throughout the year.
If you fancy a trip to the beach, Plage de Jovat is fantastic for snorkelling with guided snorkelling sessions given by instructors of the Service Espaces Maritimes during the summer. Gigaro is beautiful and home to cicadas in the thousands and a blissful collection of coves, headlands and bays. Gigaro boasts magnificent sunsets and superb views of the islands, Iles d’Or, as well as a great collection of bars and restaurants.
Gassin, a ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’, is only a mile away and is home to the narrowest street in the world. It has sensational elevated views extending to the snowy peaks of the Alps as well as the Gulf of Saint Tropez. The new town of Gassin, designed by François Spoerry, has been built below the medieval village and was awarded a prize for the best new town in Europe. Other highlights include: the Gassin Golf Country Club, perfect for the golfers in your group and Chateau Barbeyrolles, an excellent vineyard where you can taste and buy delicious rosé, red and white wines.
The charming village of Grimaud is another nearby wonder. It boasts stepped terraces and an air of calm reflection. Views from its medieval castle captivate visitors and its warren of narrow streets offer stairways, vaulted arches, art galleries and a mill. The Grimaldines welcome musicians from all over the world.
Ramatuelle is also lovely with a charming central square, Ormeau. The village boasts a captivating, irresistible maze of winding streets sprinked with fountains, pretty houses and wrought iron décor. Its ochre façades and pastel toned shutters are adorned with fragrant jasmine, honeysuckle and vibrant bougainvillea. Close to Ramatuelle are the famous sandy Pampelonne beaches.
The Old Town of Saint Tropez, next to the Vieux Port, is a great place to wander. The 18th century Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption towers over the terracotta rooftops. The Musée de l’Annonciade is the oldest modern art museum in France, dating back to 1922. The town is a shopper’s paradise, packed with trendy boutiques, shoe shops, chocolate shops, antique emporiums and art galleries. If you visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning, you can visit the open-air market stalls at Place des Lices where you can stock up on freshly baked bread and delicious local produce.
