Villa Pauline is perched on the scenic heights of Gassin, and its vast terrace makes the most of the position, opening onto breathtaking views across the Mediterranean. The house has real personality, its retro, colourful decor punctuated by works of art and designer furniture, channelling something of the spirit of Studio 54 with a distinctive French je ne sais quoi. It is playful and stylish in equal measure.
The days here have a lovely rhythm. Begin with breakfast in the lush garden, basking in the morning sun, then make your way down to the bustling Saint-Tropez market. Wander the charming old town, savour a Tropezienne pastry and linger over a coffee on the iconic terrace of Senequier, before returning to the villa in just a few minutes to unwind by the heated swimming pool, its clear waters reflecting the azure sky.
The amenities keep the pleasure going. A jacuzzi offers somewhere to soak, a petanque court invites a friendly game, and a barbecue sets up easy al fresco dining, while air-conditioned interiors provide a cool sanctuary through the warm afternoons and a chimney brings a cosy note to cooler evenings. The tree-filled garden completes a serene, picturesque setting.
With four bedrooms for up to eight guests, Villa Pauline is a haven of tranquillity and charm, perfect for creating lasting memories with family and friends. Stylish, sunlit and wonderfully positioned above the gulf, it makes the whole of Saint-Tropez feel close at hand. The garden stays cool and private above the gulf, a calm place to return to after the market and the port.
