Un Carreau

Holiday Home • Saint-Tropez, French Riviera

There are some combinations of words that just sound right together and that includes ‘Saint-Tropez’, ‘villa’ and ‘with a swimming pool’. This gorgeous home is only thirty minutes’ walk from the resort town and just under a quarter of an hour on foot from Bouillabaisse Beach, but it feels perfectly secluded despite this superb location. Much of this is down to the tall trees that line the garden and the multitude of peaceful spots where guests can relax, whether that’s on one of the loungers by the heated pool, on the dining table on the covered patio or on the pétanque court that runs down the side of the house. Although the outside space naturally demands attention, the interior is equally smart too, with tiled floors and white walls making it a calming place to escape the heat for a moment or two. Come evening time, what better way to finish the day than with a barbecue and a couple of games of table tennis?
