Villa Lumiere

A luxury villa to rent in La Garde Freinet, St Tropez Area, France

Discreet and elegant with unrivalled views over the Bay of St Tropez.

The house is conveniently located a gentle stroll from the charming hill village of La Garde Freinet and a short 20-minute drive from the coast.

Approached along a charming path across a zen-inspired terrace with a water feature, the house has recently been refurbished to a high standard with wooden, wide-plank flooring throughout all living areas and bedrooms, and contemporary lighting and bathroom fittings. The interior design throughout combines antique artefacts with a modern style to provide elegance and comfort.

There are three large terraces all with stunning views to the south. The ‘Zen Terrace’ is at the east end of the house where guests can sit and dine at a rock-hewn table in the shade of a mulberry tree.

To the west there is a covered terrace with comfortable armchairs around a fireplace. Beyond this, linking the house to the Large Cottage, is a newly constructed terrace of local stone with seating for guests around a glass table and a beautiful stone barbecue – perfect for outside entertaining.

The extensive grounds include a freeform heated swimming pool set some distance from the house. This is approached by a winding stone staircase leading to the pool and surrounding area, set immediately below a natural rock outcrop. The views to the Bay of St Tropez from this terrace are unrivalled.

The house benefits from a permanent resident staff who provide a discreet and first-rate service for all guests.
