Villa Bastien is an enchanting contemporary house in the heart of Grimaud, the picturesque medieval village overlooking this stretch of the coast. Whitewashed walls and sophisticated interiors frame the surrounding landscape, while expansive windows draw in the iconic South of France light, filling the house with brightness from early morning. This is the larger of the villa’s configurations, arranged for a group in comfort.
The days unfold gently. Begin with a swim in the heated pool, the glistening sea in the distance, before settling into the warmth of the Mediterranean sun. After a leisurely lunch, the tranquil garden invites you to unwind with a book, or, when the mood calls for it, the beach is just a ten-minute stroll from this secluded retreat. As the sun sets, the nearby bars and restaurants offer the flavours of the local cuisine before you return to the calm of the villa.
Comfort is well judged throughout. Six bedrooms accommodate up to twelve guests, and the amenities suit easy living, with air conditioning, a petanque court, a barbecue and plancha for outdoor meals, a gym for those who want it, and a cosy chimney for cooler evenings. It is a house that reads the seasons well, as comfortable in the shoulder months as at the height of summer.
With its Mediterranean charm and its position between the village and the sea, Villa Bastien offers relaxed coastal living for a larger party. Grimaud rewards those who want character and calm, and this house delivers both with room to spare.
