Villa Calanthe, St. Tropez

Description

Embrace the glamour of St. Tropez at this luxury villa on the Cote d’Azur. Just moments from the beach, this private mansion, set within an exclusive, gated estate is perfectly located for both hitting the white sands early in the morning as well as being a great base from which to explore this very special part of the south of France.

You’ll find Villa Calanthe right at the end of a private road, surrounded by hills and vineyards, giving you a real sense of peace. The property has fabulous ocean views, particularly from the outdoor terraces where you’ll enjoy many a long, relaxed lunch, linger over coffee and a book in the late morning and settle with sundowners at the end of the day as the sky is tinged with pink and stars twinkle on above the sea.

A generously sized pool is the focal point of the property. The pool house which overlooks it is beautifully appointed, with a kitchen area with wine fridge, shower and WC as well as a snug where you can relax in the shade a while when the day is at its hottest.

Inside, the villa is decorated in a sophisticated ‘French country’ style, using a palette of pretty neutrals set off by rustic antique furniture pieces and sumptuous, stylish soft furnishings. There are two lounge areas, giving all ten guests plenty of space to relax together or spend time alone. And each of the stunning, en-suite bedrooms is designed with your ultimate comfort in mind. If you get there first you might manage to reserve the wonderful master suite that sprawls over the entire top floor.

A dedicated staff live off-site but are always on hand to ensure your every whim is catered for, from the daily housekeeping to the talented chef who will prepare your meals. Cushions are plumped and drinks refreshed almost invisibly. When you retire to your room at the end of each day you’ll find it’s with the unfamiliar lightness that comes from having done nothing but relax from dawn until dusk.

Reviews

We would like to thank you for a fantastic fortnight at [the villa]. Our stay was tremendous. The food was exceptional- high quality restaurant standard for every sitting. We’ve stayed in many catered chalets before but the idea of a catered villa was new to us. It exceeded all our expectations. You were so flexible with timings which suited our young family. You seemed so perceptive to all our needs which made our stay so relaxed and enjoyable. Our boys thought you were wonderful- you are so patient and engaging with all of the children in our group; thank you. Our accommodation was lovey, clean and incredibly relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble for you, from making reservations for lunches to booking activities, to buying children’s particular dietary preferences. We couldn’t have wanted more from our stay. We are so pleased to have such amazing hosts. We would absolutely return and holiday…” Roberts family, UK
