The amazing Villa Cousteau has been designed by a prestigious architect and is sure to take your breath away. It could well be the dream holiday you are searching for, perched on a hill above the French Riviera resort of Bandol in an extraordinarily idyllic setting, blending beautifully into the landscape.
There are so many quirky features to delight you here on the different open-plan levels. This is a uniquely stylish space where the glass sides of the 28m heated pool run alongside the living area so that you can jump straight into the water from your armchair!
As you rest in one of the sleeping areas below, you might see your friends and family swimming below the water from one of the spectacular bedrooms. This is a place for unconventional living for a group of people who are relaxed together and appreciate the artistic ambience of this unique villa.
There are lovely terraces to admire the superb views, a fully equipped kitchen to produce delicious meals, kitchenette areas for a quick coffee, comfy beds, bathrooms and shower rooms interestingly placed throughout this fascinating abode.
You may well feel that you are in some kind of heavenly space but, when reality beckons, you are close to the much loved French Riviera resort of Bandol. With a more relaxed atmosphere compared to other towns on the Côte d’Azur, it’s just lovely strolling along the palm lined promenade and admiring the sailing boats bobbing in the marina. There are a variety of boat trips from Bandol to several wonderful islands offering the chance to scuba dive or see the dolphins.
There are more watersports and sandy beaches in Sanary-sur-Mer which you might combine with a trip to the historic maritime city of Toulon. There is scenic coastal walking, hiking and mountain biking trails in the nearby Forêt de Janas and don’t miss the Calanques National Park, an area of incredible beauty between Cassis and Marseille.
