Villa Coco

Villa Coco is a spacious and welcoming family home which can sleep six guests in elegant surroundings. With views over the dazzling blue sea and just 4km away from the town of Saint-Tropez, this is a wonderful place to stay with a few other couples or on a family trip.

The house is spread over two floors, with the living spaces on the first floor allowing uninterrupted views over the sea below. There is a living room on this floor with comfy sofas, armchairs and a large stone fireplace, a dining room for gathering together over an evening meal, and a fully-fitted kitchen. The modern kitchen is well-designed with all the appliances you could need to prepare a delicious meal, or maybe you would prefer to hire a chef for a special occasion. All of these rooms open out onto furnished terraces to make the most of the climate; this space is ideal for gathering for drinks as the sun goes down, as you can move from the living room to the terrace with ease and light the fire in colder months.

The bedrooms are all set on the ground floor; there is a master suite which boasts crisp linens on a comfortable king-sized bed, a dressing room, office space and a large bathroom with an inviting bath where you can enjoy a long soak with a good book. The room leads straight to the poolside and outdoor seating so that you can take in the views with your morning coffee. The other two bedrooms are just as lovely, with neutral décor, garden access and en-suite bathrooms. On this level, there is also a snug TV room where you can escape in the evening to watch a film.

The home is appointed with all the conveniences you could need, from Wi-Fi to air conditioning and coffee machines; however, it has a warm and comforting feel and is brightened by pops of colour in the soft furnishings and the vibrant artwork. As a nearby 5* hotel manages the villa, you will be welcomed in style with a glass of champagne and a concierge service while still maintaining your privacy in the independent villa.

As you step outside the villa, you will find yourself in a serene garden with sea views. The garden is filled with trees and shrubs and offers three furnished terraces for dining and unwinding in the sun. Whether you would like to take a dip in the private pool or unwind in the jacuzzi, there is plenty of space for everyone in your party out here. The garden also lends itself to outdoor dining as you can prepare meals in the summer kitchen in the studio or on the barbecue before eating together al-fresco.

If you would prefer to go out for dinner, then why not reserve a table at the hotel’s gourmet hotel or alternatively drive into the centre of Saint-Tropez, only 4km away. Saint-Tropez has a wide range of eateries; there are little family-run seafood restaurants overlooking the port, charming authentic French bistros and fine-dining eateries with exceptional seasonal menus. Additionally, there are countless cafes and bars, so you will not go hungry while staying here. Saint-Tropez is known as a magnet for those arriving to the Riviera by yacht and for celebrities, so in town, you will discover lots of boutique and designer stores, chic restaurants and cocktail bars and exclusive beach clubs. If you would like to lounge in the sun at one of these luxury beach clubs, then you should pay a visit to Pampelonne beach, one of the best beaches in this area, while there are plenty of smaller coves for swimming and sunbathing along the coast too.

If you would like to learn more about the history of Saint-Tropez, you should wander the pretty streets of the medieval old town, resettled in the 15th century by wealthy families after the town was destroyed centuries earlier. Head up to the staggering Citadel and visit the museum to learn more!
