About this property

Enjoying a magical blend of traditional Provencal styling and superb modern comforts, Maison Beaujolais is perfect for families or a group of friends wanting to enjoy the stunning scenery, beautiful hiking paths, alluring villages and sun-blessed sandy beaches of the Saint Tropez peninsula. This fabulous, newly renovated and refurbished villa sits in the lush verdant hills just above the gorgeous seaside area of Gigaro. It offers three beautiful bedrooms and a spacious, characterful living space, not to mention stunning landscaped gardens and a dreamy infinity swimming pool.

 

With fine golden sand, dramatic headlands and picturesque coves that take your breath away, Gigaro is a wonderful destination covering more than three hundred protected hectares of flora and fauna and home to one hundred and twenty species of migratory birds. It has been used in many films and marks the entrance of the Cap Lardier Estate, protected by the Port Cros National Park. The scenic coastal path leads from cove to cove and boasts stunning views of the Iles d’Or and magnificent sunsets. The picturesque hilltop villages of La Croix Valmer and Gassin are nearby, and the buzzy, lively hot spot of Saint Tropez is roughly fifteen to twenty minutes away in the car.

 

Maison Beaujolais is a joyful, characterful retreat that enjoys sublime countryside views and total seclusion. Its warm terracotta exterior blends beautifully with its exposed stonework and the lush greenery surrounding the villa. Maison Beaujolais is built over two floors, with the upper floor being home to wonderfully characterful living spaces and the ground floor home to the bedrooms. The entrance of the property is to the upper floor. Here you will find a gorgeous open-plan living space brimming with ancient ceiling beams and a brilliant mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings. Several sets of French doors open to a huge covered veranda where you will enjoy sensational countryside views. The veranda wraps around the front and the side of Maison Beaujolais, offering stunning alfresco dining and lounge areas. The living area is bright and airy, drowned in natural light streaming through the doors and windows. The kitchen is thoroughly modern with shaker-style cabinetry, granite worksurfaces and outstanding appliances. A gorgeous vintage dining table and chairs sit next to the kitchen, with doors leading to the alfresco dining space with a barbecue

 

Maison Beaujolais’ three bedrooms are located on the lower floor. Each of the bedrooms enjoys a comfy kingsize bed, air conditioning, an ensuite shower room and French doors opening to the garden and pool area. It is so lovely to wake up in this beautiful spot, draw the curtains back to expose these sensational views and head out with a morning cup of coffee.

 

Maison Beaujolais boasts a stunning infinity swimming pool, surrounded by a sun deck on three sides where you can relax in the sun with your holiday books, enjoying the spectacular, captivating scenery. The acre of gardens is beautifully maintained with lush lawns and colourful shrubs and flowers. Cypress, palms and pine trees stand majestically, framing the views and ensuring complete privacy. Though you will probably feel like staying put in this heavenly retreat, you can walk to the shops, an excellent bakery, restaurants and the beach in roughly fifteen minutes. The villa is located adjacent to the national park with its wonderful walking, hiking and cycling trails and magnificent views all the way to the Pampelonne.

Maison Beaujolais enjoys a fabulous, elevated location fifteen minutes' walk above the lovely seaside resort of Gigaro. Gigaro is beautiful, natural and home to cicadas in the thousands, as well as a blissful collection of coves, headlands and bays. It enjoys crystal clear waters, fine golden sand and a wonderful collection of restaurants and bars. Gigaro is particularly wonderful at sunset and offers superb views of the islands, Iles d’Or.

Saint Tropez came to fame in the 1950s with Brigitte Bardot starring in the 1956 'And God Created Woman'. Overnight, Saint Tropez became a sizzling jet-set playground. In low season, the town still enjoys its mesmerising quaint beauty, and visitors meander its cobbled lanes in the old fishing quarter of La Ponche, sip pastis in charming cafes, watch old men playing petanque beneath plane trees and walk slowly along the coastal paths. The picturesque peninsula boasts beautiful olive groves and rugged coastal hikes and is now home to exclusive beach clubs, hipster bars and megabucks yachts. A five-kilometre stretch of picture postcard sand sits between the glistening Mediterranean Sea and dreamy dunes.

Saint Tropez is a shopper's paradise, packed with trendy boutiques. The streets around Rue Gambetta and Rue Allard are sprinkled with shoe shops, chocolate shops, boutiques, antique emporiums and art galleries. If you visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning, you will be treated to wonderful open-air stalls at Place des Lices where you can stock up on freshly baked bread and delicious local produce. Fine wine is big in Saint Tropez. Chateau Barbeyrolles is one of the best vineyards in the village of Gassin. Red and white wines have been added to their delicious rose wines, and visitors can taste and buy wines every day except Sundays.

 

The peninsula is home to numerous charming villages as well as a fantastic national park that you should explore. La Croix Valmer, in the heart of the Saint Tropez peninsula, is a jewel of nature nestled in the national park, an area known for its walking, cycling and mountain bike paths, its scenic landscapes, amazing fauna and flora, breathtaking views, lively Sunday market and its surrounding vineyards. La Croix Valmer boasts two of the three caps of the Saint Tropez peninsula. Cap Lardier is the most wooded of the caps, and Cap Taillat sits between Cap Lardier and Cap Camarat, the third of the caps. The village of La Croix Valmer also enjoys a history closely linked to the wine industry. Its weekly market is one of the most famous in the Gulf of Saint Tropez and a brilliant place to pick up local produce and wine for Maison Beaujolais.

The picturesque villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle are also wonderful, with far-reaching sensational views. The historic village of Gassin, known as a 'Plus Beaux Villages de France' and a destination of culture and walking, is perched high in the hills enjoying a fabulous medieval terrace, the Promenade De Barri, which offers exceptional views as well as some wonderful restaurants, an unbeatable spot for lunch. You should look out for the street called l'Androuno, which claims to be the narrowest street in the world. The new town of Gassin, designed by Francois Spoerry, has been built below the medieval village and was awarded a prize for the best new town in Europe. The lovely Port Grimaud is reminiscent of Venice.
