Villa Piaf

Villa Piaf sits in an idyllic position on the French Riviera in between the towns of Port Grimaud and Saint-Tropez. With an expansive coastline dotted with stunning beaches on your doorstep and pretty historic villages close by, this is the perfect base for a family trip.

As you arrive at the gated grounds of the villa, you will find yourself in a slightly elevated spot in the hills of Gassin, overlooking the gorgeous Gulf of Saint-Tropez below. The home, which is newly finished is surrounded by tall trees and leafy shrubs which beautifully frame the sea views.

Indoors, the villa is chic and modern with a simplistic monochrome colour scheme. Natural light and warm sunshine pour in from the vast windows and doors, highlighting the art work which lines the rooms. The home is set over two floors, with the living space spanning the first floor in order to take in the best views of the sea. The living area is all open-plan, making this the heart of the home where everyone can gather together for dinner. In this large, open space there is a comfy sofa and a dining table and access straight out on to the terrace. The kitchen is also in this area and is equipped with everything you would need for preparing a delicious meal with fresh ingredients from the market. Alternatively, you can hire a chef to cook up something delicious for a special occasion.

There are four bedrooms available for guests to choose from when it is time to turn in, and you will get a good night’s sleep in any of them as they all boast comfortable beds with clean, white linen and elegant, well-equipped en-suite bathrooms. The master suite is located on the first floor and has doors out on to the terrace so you can enjoy your morning coffee outdoors before the rest of the house awakens. In the master suite you will discover a king-sized bed, a dressing room and an office space for if you need to work while away. There is also a large bathroom with double sink and a walk-in shower. The remaining three bedrooms are situated on the ground floor which is the garden level. The rooms are all welcoming, air-conditioned rooms with double beds and en-suite bathrooms and have doors on to the garden or large windows to look out over the lush garden.

The home is managed by a nearby 5* hotel, meaning they are rather used to making guests feel happy and comfortable! Throughout your time here you will find little details which make this villa stand out from the crowd; from a champagne reception on arrival and an on-hand concierge team, to luxurious bathroom products and bookable extras such as fridge stocking or a driver, you will find everything you need for a relaxing break. Guests are also more than welcome to use the facilities at the hotel, meaning you can indulge in the buffet breakfast, visit the fitness room and the Niance spa and book a table at the fine dining restaurant.

When you want to head into Saint-Tropez, you are just 4km away from the bars and restaurants of this vibrant town. Whether you want to spend the day unwinding at a beach club or you would prefer to take part in a walking tour around the old town, there is something here for everyone. There is lots to see and do in Saint-Tropez so you can visit multiple times and still discover a new beach or historic chapel on each trip. The town is also known as a great place for a spot of shopping and is filled with the best designer boutiques and bustling markets which are held all over town, selling everything from local cheeses to vintage clothing. If you would like to take a boat trip to the unspoilt Golden Islands for the day, you can take a boat from Saint-Tropez harbour.
