Overview
Families and groups of friends with children adore Villa Gemeaux. Set in the hills between La Croix Valmer and Gassin, Villa Gemeaux enjoys sensational scenery, beautiful gardens, tranquillity and total seclusion. It is a place to relax, rejuvenate and soothe your soul. The interior of this wonderful villa offers supremely comfortable living spaces, five bedrooms and plenty of striking design features. The fine sandy beach of Gigaro is only ten minutes away in the car, and the renowned sandy wonders of Pampelonnes are just a little further away. The hedonistic hot-spot Saint Tropez is roughly twenty minutes away also.
The ground floor is home to a striking open-plan living space with a trendy fireplace, a modern kitchen, a laundry area, dining table, a cloakroom and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The dining and kitchen area enjoys double height aspect and a very striking contemporary staircase which takes you to the upper bedrooms. There are lots of vivid red colour splashes coming from dining chairs, sofas and other furniture. It mingles very well with the whites and greys and catches your eye. The modern kitchen offers a sociable central island and excellent appliances that will please the chef in your group. The downstairs bedroom enjoys a comfy double bed, direct access to the terrace and garden and a smart, immaculate ensuite.
At the top of the staircase, you will find a handy office space on the mezzanine level and three bedrooms. Two of them, including a double bed and twin beds, which can be made up as a large double, enjoy access to the upper terrace and share a family bathroom with a shower. The final double room boasts an en-suite shower room and also has terrace access. The terrace is furnished with trendy loungers where you can relax, mesmerised by the views. There are some modern sail canopies to offer shade if you want them. The final bedroom is found in a separate guest house. This also enjoys a delightful living area and shower room. The bed in the guest house can be lifted up flat against the wall should you want to use this as a playroom.
Though the interiors of Villa Gemeaux are terrific, the magic happens outside. The gardens are extensive and stunning. You will quickly unwind and discover a fabulous solar-heated swimming pool, a sun deck with a gazebo, a jacuzzi for an indulgent dip, hopefully with a glass of fizz in hand, a superb alfresco dining area and an outdoor kitchen. The kitchen area enjoys a bar where your mixologists can prepare some delicious cocktails. For some fun, healthy competition there is a table tennis table and a boules pitch. Children also enjoy a play area with swings and other equipment that keeps them happy. There is a small koi pond in the garden and a wonderful array of towering trees and pretty borders. Such bliss!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa GemeauxThe wonderful Villa Gemeaux enjoys a fabulous, elevated location in the lush pine-clad hills between La Croix Valmer and Gassin. It is tranquil, beautiful and very secluded, ensuring rejuvenation and relaxation. La Croix Valmer boasts two of the three caps of the Saint Tropez peninsula, an incredible range of flora and fauna and wonderful hiking and cycling paths. Cap Lardier is the most wooded of the caps, and Cap Taillat sits between Cap Lardier and Cap Camarat, the third of the caps. Visitors enjoy amazing views and can explore the vineyards and historical remains in the area. 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 Maison Gemeaux. 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. Beyond Cap Lardier, Brouis Beach is the wildest. 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, natural 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.
Just a mile away, 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. From Place des Barri, you can enjoy views across to the Iles d'Or, Port Cros, Bagaud, Levant, and in the background, Porquerolles, which is easy to visit. You should look out for the street called l'Androuno, which claims 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. Golf lovers can head for the Gassin Golf Country Club or the Beauvallon Golf Course. Chateau Barbeyrolles, in Gassin, is an excellent vineyard. Red and white wines have been added to their delicious roses, and visitors can taste and buy wines every day except Sundays.
Saint Tropez came to fame in the 1950s with Brigitte Bardot starring in the 1956 'And God Created Woman'. Overnight, Saint Tropez became a sizzling jet-set playground. 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 plane trees and walk slowly along the coastal paths. The picturesque peninsula boasts beautiful olive groves and rugged coastal hikes and is now home to exclusive beach clubs, hipster bars and megabucks yachts. A five-kilometre stretch of picture postcard sand sits between the glistening Mediterranean Sea and dreamy dunes. Saint Tropez 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.

Region
Once a traditional fishing village, Saint-Tropez is now one of the most glamourous destinations of the Côte d’Azur and welcomes visitors from across the world.
However, there’s more to Saint-Tropez bay than exclusive beach clubs, glitzy boutiques and fine dining restaurants. From the family-friendly beaches of Sainte-Maxime to the vineyards of La Croix Valmer, Oliver’s Travels guests can truly admire this enchanting corner of the French Riviera whilst staying in one of our handpicked villas in and around Saint-Tropez.
Soak up the luxurious yet laidback vibe of Saint-Tropez as you wander around its marina lined with huge yachts contrasting colourful fishermen’s houses overlooking the bay. The old quarter is a warren of winding lanes with French designer boutiques, picturesque cafes and restaurants whilst Place des Lices hosts a vibrant Provençal market on a Tuesday and Saturday morning. Enjoy the most glorious vistas from Saint-Tropez’s 17th century citadel and maritime museum. Boat trips are another superb way to tour this part of the coast and passenger ferries cross the bay.
Just south of the town, follow Brigitte Bardot’s footsteps as you visit one of Plage de Pampelonne’s exclusive beach clubs, the most famous being Le Club 55 (always book well in advance). Stretching over 5km, Pampelonne’s long sandy beach is also loved for its vast range of summer watersports including jet-skiing, windsurfing and paddleboarding.
The picture-perfect villages of Saint-Tropez bay are beautifully located to make the most of the French Riviera scenery. On the hillside overlooking Plage de Pampelonne, Ramatuelle has attracted artists and writers over the years and is full of charm – look out for performances during its theatre and jazz festivals in the summer months. Meanwhile, hilltop Gassin is classified as one of France’s 'Plus Beaux Villages’ whilst flower-filled Grimaud is such a pretty medieval village with yet more stunning views of the coast.
Driving into the Maures hills, discover the characterful villages of La Garde-Freinet and Le Plan-de-la-Tour surrounded by oak and chestnut forests, a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers, horse-riding enthusiasts and other outdoor adventurists.
Back to the coast, take a boat tour of Port Grimaud, known as the ‘little Venice of the Côte d’Azur’, and experience its atmospheric Monday evening summer market. Across the other side of the bay, Sainte-Maxime is a lovely sheltered seaside town with pretty cafes, a daily market and gorgeous beaches. Families adore this area – there are tree-top adventures, tennis, mini-golf, a water park and coastal paths for biking and hiking.
Golf-lovers can appreciate a choice of courses – Golf Blue Green as well as the prestigious Beauvallon Golf Club and Golf Club Saint-Tropez. Wine connoisseurs should head to the wine châteaux of Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne as well as the vineyards of La Croix Valmer.
Not forgetting the idyllic shores of soft sand and crystal-clear sea of La Croix Valmer’s coastline from Plage de Sylvabelle to Plage de Gigaro, also home to a wonderful coastal walking trail with the most incredible flora and fauna alongside sensational views of the Mediterranean as you hike towards Cap Lardier and beyond.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Gemeaux is absolutely perfect for a family holiday. There is so much entertainment for the whole group and especially the children. This includes a swimming pool, boules pitch, table tennis, table football and a children's playground area, as well as a television with Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The area surrounding Villa Gemeaux 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 of which is Gigaro. Gigaro and Debarquement beaches are well organised and enjoy cafes and restaurants, while others are more secluded and peaceful. The coastal paths are fabulous and take you from beach to beach. 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 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. Aqualand Sainte-Maxime is a thrilling waterpark designed with children in mind. It comes with thrilling slides, rides and fun pools for the whole family. Children love the tube slides and open-top slides wide enough for groups to race down. It is located on the other side of the Gulf from Saint Tropez. Make sure to plan before you go, as these parks will often close during the colder months.
A few miles north of Saint Tropez is Luna Park Frejus, a seasonal funfair with an array of rides and attractions for kids and adults. You will discover traditional carousels, rollercoasters, bumper cars and a ghost train. 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.
