Set in the hills of Gassin, Villa Beau Sejour looks out over the Bay of Saint-Tropez from a position that feels both private and open. The view is the first thing you notice and the thing you keep returning to, whether from the terrace at breakfast or the pool in the late afternoon.
The house brings together modern comfort and Provencal character across 400 square metres, with six bedrooms sleeping up to twelve guests. A spacious living room sits at the heart of the plan, and a fully equipped kitchen opens directly onto a large terrace and garden, keeping the cooking, the dining and the view in the same easy flow.
Days here move between the swimming pool and its pool house and the shaded corners of the garden, with expansive terraces framing the bay below. When the group wants a change of pace, a private cinema room and a fitness room offer their own reasons to stay in. A garage takes care of arrivals and keeps the property neat and self-contained.
The villa is offered without live-in staff, which suits guests who prefer the freedom of running the day on their own terms, cooking when it suits and keeping the house to themselves. Space and privacy are the real draws here, high above the coast yet within reach of the beaches and the town.
Gassin sits quietly apart from the summer crowds, close to everything and removed from it in equal measure. The bay does the rest. Evenings here belong to the terrace, with the lights of the bay slowly coming on below.
