Description
A luxury villa in glamorous St Tropez should elicit a certain glamour of its own and Villa Eden does so beautifully. This contemporary and elegant property has commanding views of the Bay of St Tropez and its terraces and gardens bask in the sunshine much of the day.
Manicured lawns and gardens, comfortable outdoor chill-out areas and sophisticated alfresco dining spaces all help make the most of this luxury villa’s enviable location. The jewel in this property’s crown, however, must be the fabulous pool area. Take a book, recline on a sun lounger and peer over your shades in the manner of Brigitte Bardot at the smooth surface of the wonderful private pool. The pool area has its own pool house so everything you need is to hand and you can easily spend all day at the water’s edge. There’s a terrace just above with a wonderful dining area, so there’s no need to move a muscle; the villa’s staff can bring lunch to you.
Inside the pretty, terracotta tiled building there’s a modern rustic feel throughout; whitewashed walls, contemporary artworks and a light, airy feeling everywhere you go. All the bedrooms have lovely en-suites with luxury beauty products, all have air-con and TVs, too, so if you feel in need of a little time to yourself there’s always somewhere to retreat to.
But the communal spaces are bright, spacious and welcoming. From games rooms to lounge areas and eating spaces, there are plenty of places to relax alone or gather with friends. And if you happen to get a storm passing over the bay there’s nowhere cosier to listen to it from than the capacious sofas in Villa Eden’s living room, curled up with a local bottle of wine and a good book.
The villa’s staff are ever-present yet almost invisible and will ensure every moment of your stay is as relaxing as possible, whether that means arranging babysitters, topping up your glass or making sure that every cushion remains plump, every towel fluffed to within an inch of its life.
What St Tropez doesn’t know about glamour, it can learn from Villa Eden.
