Overview
It feels like you can almost reach out and touch the sea from this stunning beachfront villa on the beautiful French Riviera peninsula of Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer near Toulon.
You’ll no doubt spend most of your time on the sea-facing terrace with direct beach access whilst staying at gorgeous Villa Olivon. Relax in your very own hot tub, swim up and down the 10m long heated swimming pool or just simply enjoy a glass of local rosé as you gaze out at the Mediterranean. There’s a second pretty terrace on the other side of the villa, perfect for convivial al-fresco meals in the shade with family or friends.
The villa’s superb interiors also make the most of the incredible setting from the stylish open-plan lounge and the sleek modern kitchen which opens out to the pool terrace to the elegant dining space with picture book windows facing the azure-coloured sea. There’s air-conditioning throughout and all four bedrooms have their own bath or shower rooms. Most of the bedrooms look out towards the Mediterranean including the charming cocoon-style double where there’s a sea-view window right above the bed.
Wander through the neighbourhood and soon you will reach a picturesque bay backed by pine trees with a beachside café and diving centre. Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer’s beautiful harbour is just a 5-minute drive away for atmospheric restaurants and little shops or make the most of the peninsula’s wonderful walking trails through its hills and rugged coastline.
The much-loved Plage des Sablettes is only 2km away, a lovely sandy shore with restaurants, watersports and summer night markets whilst the seaside town of La Seyne-sur-Mer will enchant you with its historic houses and fish market.
Discover yet more glorious beaches and historic harbours in nearby Sanary-sur-Mer and Bandol or head to the grand city of Toulon with its impressive harbour, museums, markets and shops. Sail away towards the idyllic Île de Porquerolles or take long hikes through the Janus forest – this part of the Côte d'Azur will captivate you in so many ways.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OlivonSet on the beachfront on the Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer peninsula, close to idyllic bays and incredible walking trails, Villa Olivon enjoys an exclusive French Riviera setting only 12km from the grand city of Toulon.
You can access the sea from a gate near the swimming pool which leads down a rocky slope to the beach. Alternatively, stroll out of your villa and through the neighbourhood to a pretty bay backed by pine trees, a perfect spot for swimming, snorkelling, diving or just enjoying a drink in the summer beachside café. There is a grocery store, bakery and pharmacy also within walking distance and look out for pizzas from the food-truck that is usually parked on summer evenings near the pine forest.
It's just over a 5-minute drive to the picturesque marina in Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer with its restaurants, little shops, Saturday morning Provençal market and views over the bay towards Toulon. As well as beautiful beaches and snorkelling opportunities, the peninsula is well-known for its many walking trails across its hills and rugged coastline.
Other delightful seaside towns include Sanary-sur-Mer (12km) with its attractive waterfront and historic harbour or charming La Seyne-sur-Mer (6km) where you can buy the catch of the day from the morning fish market. Drive or walk along the Tamaris corniche admiring 19th century villas or head to the gorgeous Plage des Sablettes, only 2km from your villa, for sandy shores, beachside restaurants, watersports, a pleasant park and an atmospheric night market on summer evenings in July and August.
The other side of Plage des Sablettes leads to wilder coastline with rocky coves as well as hiking and mountain biking routes around Cap Sicie and the vast Janus forest. If travelling with children, there’s an adventure park set in the woodland with climbing activities, trampolines, nets, slides and tunnels.
For a complete change of scene, Toulon is a fantastic day out, around 12km by car. There are some great museums, the city’s impressive harbour, the beautiful Place de la Liberté as well as many restaurants, cafes, markets and shops. Cable cars take you up to Mont Faron for amazing views or catch a ferry across to Île de Porquerolles for more wonderful natural landscapes.

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 AgesThis part of the Côte d'Azur is loved by families due to its setting close to beaches, forests and the city of Toulon.
Just a short walk away is a pretty pebbly bay backed by pine trees with a summer café and idyllic clear water ideal for snorkelling. There is also a diving centre at the end of the beach and a little local playground for younger guests.
About a 5-minute drive away, Plage des Sablettes in La Seyne-sur-Mer is one of the most popular beaches in the area – a long stretch of sand backed by a promenade and summer restaurants. There’s a pleasant park just set back from the beach for a shady break from the sea and look out for the atmospheric night market that take place in July and August. Sailing and diving are offered here and there is a watersports centre by the marina with water-skiing, wakeboarding, and other sea-based adventures.
The Janus forest is a great base for walking, hiking, horse-riding and mountain biking. A forest activity park around a 15-minute drive away features trampolines, nets, slides, tunnels and more – a great way for families to experience the beauty of the woodland.
Toulon is another fantastic day out for families with its many museums, shops and impressive harbour. Hop on the little road train for a tour of the grand city, take the cable car up to Mont Faron or be whisked away to the beautiful Île de Porquerolles by ferry.
