Villa Bastien is an enchanting contemporary house in the heart of Grimaud, the picturesque medieval village that watches over this corner of the coast. Whitewashed walls and sophisticated interiors frame the landscape beautifully, while expansive windows draw in the iconic South of France light, so the whole house feels bright and open from early morning.
A day here unfolds 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 in hand, 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 thoughtfully arranged throughout. Four bedrooms accommodate up to ten guests, and the amenities are well judged for easy living, with air conditioning, a petanque court, a barbecue and plancha for outdoor meals, and a cosy chimney for the 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 coastal living at its most relaxed. Grimaud rewards those who want character and calm over spectacle, and this house delivers both with ease. There is a garage for arrivals, and the garden stays quiet and private well away from the summer crowds.
