Overview
Tucked away in the charming village of Cogolin, Villa Octagone is not merely a holiday home, but a portal to the splendour that is the French Riviera. A harmonious fusion of rustic charm and modern comforts, this holiday haven is sure to captivate your senses.
Stepping through the front door you’ll be greeted with a warm ambience provided by earthly Provençal tones and floods of bright Mediterranean sunlight. After a long day exploring the Côte d'Azur you’ll be grateful to sink into the plush sofas and dive into the turquoise pool.
Adjacent to the living area is the well-appointed kitchen, a culinary retreat for anyone eager to indulge their gastronomic whims. Whether you’re looking to whip up a Mediterranean salad or prepare a feast for family and friends, you’ll have everything at your disposal – including ample inspiration from the sights, smells, and tastes of Provence.
The villa’s two bedrooms are a comfortable refuge for rest and rejuvenation. With a master bedroom and a second bedroom comprising two single beds, this villa is perfect for families or friends travelling together.
Making your way to the terrace and you’ll be met by the glistening octagonal swimming pool (which gives the villa its name), lush greenery, terrace furniture and accompanying awning, and even your own private boules court. Sit back with a morning coffee or twilight glass of wine and enjoy this slice of paradise.
The villa’s stunning yellow exterior could brighten even those rare cloudy days on the Côte d'Azur, and don’t forget, sunny yellow is one of the colours of Provence, consider the yellow rattan chairs seen outside cafes and bistros in Cogolin, or Vincent Van Gogh’s famous Yellow House in Arles.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OctagoneThe picturesque Provençal village of Cogolin charms visitors with its cobblestone streets and myriad boutiques, cafes and quaint markets. The town also boasts supermarkets, restaurants, and bars and anything else you might desire within a stone’s throw of Villa Octagone.
If you’re keen on water sports then you’re in luck, because there is no shortage of fun activities available along this stretch of the Côte d'Azur, including scuba diving, jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, sailing, kitesurfing, kayaking, boat hire, and even parasailing. There are also multiple golf courses in the vicinity, many of which come with stunning views along the coastline in addition to the links.
The nearby resort of glamorous Saint-Tropez (25 minutes by car) and the harbour town at Port-Grimaud (15 minutes by car) are must-see places to explore. Sink your feet into the golden sands of Pampelonne Beach, or potter down to the shoreline of an evening to enjoy a rich bevy of restaurants and legendary nightlife. For a more rustic and historical adventure, the quaint medieval towns of Gassin and Ramatuelle are highly recommended.
The wine lovers amongst us will revel in the beautiful vineyards of Saint Marc (8 minutes by car) or Cháteau Barbeyrolles. The latter is nestled between Saint Tropez and Gassin (20 minutes by car), and offers guided tours and tastings that will steep you in the Provençal terroir.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Octagone’s cosy, family-oriented layout makes it ideal for children. The expansive pool and garden setting make it just as easy for the kids to have fun as it will be for the parents to keep watch over the rim of a rosé glass.
The cute village of Cogolin and the surrounding area make a great setting for family strolls with no shortage of cafes and patisseries along the way to satisfy the craving for snacks. A short drive to the beaches of Saint Tropez, Port Grimaud or nearby Saint Maxime opens up a whole ocean of activities, from classic beach fun to any manner of water sports.
The area is also rich in family-friendly amusement parks, including Azur Park in Port Grimaud (20 minutes drive) Aqualand Fréjus and Luna Park Fréjus (45 minute drive), and here is also the local zoo, Parc Zoologique de Fréjus (50 minute drive) for another day of family-friendly fun.
