It is ideal for families or groups of friends that enjoy the great outdoors, hiking, cycling, countryside and brilliant beaches.

Villa Caniche enjoys an elegant Provençal air with tasteful furnishings and a cool, mellow colour palette. The ground floor of the villa is home to a spacious living room, surrounded by glass windows that offer excellent views, give access to the terrace and illuminate this thoroughly modern area. A super-sized modular corner sofa provides ample seating, plus there are some ultra-cool, trendy chairs perfectly positioned next to the walls of glass to enjoy the garden and hillside views.

Alternatively, head to the separate television room, perfect for children wanting to watch a movie at the end of a tiring day. One of the double bedrooms can also be found on this floor and leads to one of the terraces.
Upstairs, there are two very tasteful bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms that share access to a furnished terrace with extraordinary views, plus another en-suite double, and the Master bedroom, which boasts a living room and a private terrace. Gorgeous ceiling beams can be found in some of the bedrooms, adding to an altogether relaxing environment, you will quickly feel at ease and refreshed at this property.
The outside space of Villa Caniche will bring a big smile to your faces. A gorgeous terrace is wrapped around the villa with an alfresco lounge and dining spaces.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa CanicheGuests will adore the elevated position that Villa Caniche enjoys in the lush pine-clad hills of La Croix Valmer. It is a wonderful location to relax, rejuvenate and spend time with family or friends.
The village of La Croix Valmer enjoys a history closely linked to the wine industry. Its 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 for Villa Caniche. The village hosts cultural events, exhibitions, concerts and festivals throughout the year. There is a small open-air theatre where performances are held during the summer. Free shuttle buses take visitors to the most popular of the nearby beaches, the busiest of which are Gigaro and Debarquement. Gigaro is beautiful, natural and home to cicadas in the thousands and a blissful collection of coves, headlands and bays. Super crystal clear waters and fine golden sand make for fantastic beaches, which are served by a wonderful collection of restaurants and bars. Gigaro boasts magnificent sunsets and superb views of the islands, Les Iles d’Or.
Gassin is a ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’ and a destination of culture and walking. Its elevated views extend to the snowy peaks of the Alps as well as the stunning Gulf of Saint Tropez, and from Place des Barri you can enjoy panoramic scenery including the Iles d’Or, Port Cros, Bagaud, Levant and, in the background, Porquerolles. You should look out for the street called l’Androuno, which is claimed to be the narrowest street in the world. The delicious smell of jasmine hangs in the air throughout the village, especially in the garden L’Hardy-Denonain. The new town of Gassin, designed by Francois Spoerry, has been built below the medieval village and was awarded a prize for the best new town in Europe.
Saint Tropez is a sizzling jet-set playground, though in low season, the town still enjoys its mesmerising quaint beauty and visitors meander its cobbled lanes in the old fishing quarter of La Ponche, sip pastis in charming cafes, watch old men playing petanque beneath towering plane trees and walk slowly along the coastal paths. As well as beautiful olive groves and rugged coastal hikes, the pretty peninsula is home to exclusive beach clubs, hipster bars and mega yachts.
The town is a shopper’s paradise, packed with trendy boutiques. The streets around Rue Gambetta and Rue Allard are sprinkled with shoe shops, chocolate shops, boutiques, antique emporiums and art galleries. If you visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning, you will be treated to wonderful open-air stalls at Place des Lices where you can stock up on freshly baked bread and delicious local produce. Fine wine is big in Saint Tropez. Chateau Barbeyrolles is one of the best vineyards in the village of Gassin. Red and white wines have been added to their delicious roses, and visitors can taste and buy wines every day except Sundays.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Caniche is great for a family holiday. The villa is incredibly spacious, and the gardens are magical. Children will love the swimming pool and the boules pitch.
The area surrounding Villa Caniche is fantastic for hiking, cycling and looking out for wildlife. It is also possible to explore these incredible landscapes on horseback with the riding centre near Grimaud. There are wonderful sandy beaches within very easy reach, the nearest being Gigaro. Gigaro and Debarquement beaches are well organised and enjoy cafes and restaurants, while others are more secluded and peaceful. A little further away, the Pampelonne beaches are also exceptional.
Children enjoy the Sunday market in La Croix Valmer where they can choose what they would like to eat and possibly pick up some souvenirs. The village is very lively on market day, and there are some lovely restaurants and cafes. During the summer months, children also enjoy the entertainment and performances on offer.
There are several theme and waterparks close by. One of the most popular outings is to the theme park Azur Park, in Gassin, with its thirty-five-plus rides and attractions. These include trampolines, carousels, toboggans and many others for little ones, bumper boats, river slides, 5D cinema and plenty of others for slightly older kids and some extreme attractions for teens and older. There are two prehistoric animal-themed 18-hole mini golf courses for four to twelve-year-olds and a great cafe. Just a little north of Saint Tropez is Aqualand Sainte-Maxime, a thrilling waterpark designed with children in mind. It comes with thrilling slides, rides and fun pools for the whole family, including rapids, kamikaze slides, colour splash, the flying boat, and more. Make sure to check before you visit, as these parks will often close during the colder months.
Also on the other side of Saint Tropez is Luna Park Frejus, a seasonal funfair with an array of rides and attractions for kids and adults. Children love the traditional carousels, rollercoasters, bumper cars and ghost trains. In Grimaud, the acrobatic adventure park Grimaud Aventure gets the adrenaline pumping amongst the treetops and fun obstacles. There are climbing ladders, jumps, rope bridges and a zipline, all perfect for children aged three to ten.
Another favourite is to take the ten-minute ferry ride to the island of Porquerolles. This crescent-shaped island enjoys a charming village at its centre with some lovely restaurants and bike rentals. The best way to explore Porquerolles is by hiking or cycling on the marked trails of the national park. On the southern side, the coast is made up of steep cliffs and secluded creeks, while the northern side is a little like a Caribbean island with fine sandy beaches and turquoise water.
In Saint-Tropez, children love visiting the Citadel above the harbour for its fabulous views all around the bay. Proud of its rich maritime past, Saint Tropez created a modern maritime museum in the dungeon of the town's citadel, allowing visitors to discover the daily lives of men and women who shaped the Saint Tropez of today. The town also boasts a butterfly museum, La Maison des Papillons Musee Dany Lartigue, with more than 35,000 butterflies from all over the world. There are rare species from South America and Africa. The museum is just a few steps south of the northern marina.
