Villa Pinede

Villa Pinede sits in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez with the easy confidence of a house that knows its setting well. Only a few minutes from both the town centre and the beaches of Pampelonne, it strikes the balance that defines a good peninsula base, close to everything, yet quiet and private once you are back behind the gate.

The architecture is classic Provencal, softened by generous windows that fill the rooms with light. The main salon opens onto the terrace through wide sliding doors, dissolving the boundary between inside and out until the garden feels like another room. It is a layout made for the Riviera, where so much of the day is spent moving between the shade of the house and the warmth of the terrace.

Accommodation is arranged for a larger group in comfort. Six bedrooms each come with their own ensuite, so everyone has a private retreat at the end of the day, an arrangement that suits families and groups of friends equally well. There is covered parking for arrivals, and the gate keeps the outside world at a comfortable distance. The interiors stay calm and uncluttered, letting the light and the greenery do the work.

Outdoors is where the villa comes into its own. The pool is framed by a manicured garden and served by its own bar, set in a shaded cabana for the slow, sociable hours of the afternoon. Mix a drink, find a lounger, and let the day drift. Villa Pinede is built for exactly this kind of unhurried summer.
