Overview
This comfortable four bedroomed villa is superbly located near Gassin, one of the most beautiful villages in France, as well as being close to the glitz and allure of Saint-Tropez. It’s ideal for families and groups who appreciate spending time by the pool but want to be close to everything this part of the glorious Côte D’Azur has to offer.
Inside Villa Gainsbourg, guests can enjoy the especially spacious lounge and dining area, elegantly designed with classic yet comfortable furnishings. Wide sliding doors flood the space with light and allow you to step straight out to the poolside terrace with its large al-fresco dining patio and barbecue. Three doubles and a bedroom with bunk-beds, alongside three modern shower rooms, allow for flexible sleeping arrangements whether travelling with family or friends.
Step outside and spend time with loved ones on the large terrace whether feasting al-fresco, perhaps with delicious produce from local markets, or splashing about in the brilliant swimming pool. After all, this is what Villa Gainsbourg is all about, as well as being in such a great location for French Riviera beaches, villages and towns.
You just have to visit Saint-Tropez, around 8km away, so renowned for its glitzy ambience, glamorous marina and bustling twice weekly markets, yet there’s still so much charm to be found in the winding lanes of its historic quarter. Head a little further south towards the sandy stretch of the famous Pampelonne beach to admire the expensive yachts in the bay or investigate the many beach clubs including famous Le Club 55.
For a different landscape, drive inland to the Maures mountains and forests for hiking and mountain biking. That said, you may simply prefer to head homewards and explore the neighbouring historic village of Gassin before a welcome dip in the pool or a chilled glass of wine in your welcoming holiday home.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GainsbourgJust inland from the glistening Côte D’Azur, around 10km from the heart of Saint-Tropez, Villa Gainsbourg is located a short drive from the charming village of Gassin. It is set in a residential area, just off the main road which links Port Cogolin and the bay to La Croix Valmer to the south.
There is a bakery around 500m away whilst the nearest restaurants and a supermarket are just over 2km by car, towards the coast, where you will also find Port Cogolin, its marina and surrounding beaches. The closest beach, 3km by car and next to the marina, has a couple of summer restaurants and gorgeous views over the bay towards Saint-Tropez.
The tiny old village of Gassin (4km), perched high on a rock, is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Take lunch at one of the restaurants on medieval Place dei Barri and admire the panoramic views over the bay of Saint-Tropez and beyond. It is said that both old Gassin and the picturesque neighbouring village of Ramatuelle (8km) were built as an escape from pirates who were ravaging the coast below.
Also nearby is the glamour and allure of Saint-Tropez (10km) with its classy restaurants, glitzy marina and twice weekly markets. Discover its charm in the old fishing quarter of La Ponche with its village atmosphere and little beach. Just outside the town, five kilometres of sand stretch along the famous Pampelonne beach set in a long bay dotted with expensive yachts. There are plenty of public areas or spot A-listers at one of the many beach clubs, including one of the legends of Saint-Tropez, Club 55.
Take a trip along the canals and by the colourful houses of Port Grimaud (3km), known as the “Venice of Provence”, which is heavenly for those who love boats, or try out water sports, golf, tennis and horse riding nearby.
Take a break from the coast and visit another enchanting village, medieval Grimaud (8km) standing guard on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez or head in a different direction towards La Môle (14km), a peaceful village in the mountains and forests of the Maures, an area perfect for hiking, horse-riding and mountain biking.
Heading south around ten minutes by car, the fine sanded and clear watered Heraclée beach is one of the many to be found near La Croix Valmer, a charming village with pavement cafes, shops, a great Sunday market and local vineyards where you can sample excellent wines. There are so many beaches, coves, restaurants and nature reserves along the 6km of coastline here which has a fine coastal path, making this a wonderful spot for walkers and nature lovers.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere are so many activities for kids of all ages in this area of France. Start with Pampelonne beach where there is paddling, jet-skiing, wakeboarding, parasailing, paddle-boarding and snorkelling. Take a trip on the sea along the coast from Saint-Tropez or go whale watching in the Mediterranean.
Find the little tourist road train in Ramatuelle and Gassin or take a break from sand and sea at nearby Azur Park, an amusement park with 35 attractions from exciting roller coasters to gentler rides and a prehistoric animal themed mini-golf course.
Visit the castle ruins and little play park at Grimaud or take the 20-minute boat tour of the canal ways at Port Grimaud where the kids will also love the water sports, karting circuit and tennis courts close by.
The 6km of La Croix Valmer beaches include coves, nature reserves and idyllic beachside restaurants. Many of the lovely beaches along this coastline can be accessed via the coastal footpath.
