Villa Des Tourterelles

Villa des Tourterelles is a brand-new house in one of the most walkable corners of Saint-Tropez, and its appeal lies in that simplicity. Close to Bouillabaisse beach and only a short distance from the heart of town, it offers the increasingly rare pleasure of a relaxed seaside base within easy reach of everything the port has to offer, on foot or by a very short drive.

Being newly built, the villa feels fresh and uncomplicated throughout. The interiors are bright and current, arranged for easy living rather than grand gestures, with four bedrooms comfortably accommodating up to eight guests. It is a scale that suits a family or a small group of friends who want quality and location over sheer size.

Outdoors, a swimming pool anchors the garden and sets the tone for the day, somewhere to gather in the sun before wandering into town or returning from the beach. There is a garage for arrivals, and a household team on hand to keep everything running smoothly, so the practicalities take care of themselves.

What makes Tourterelles work is the balance it strikes. The proximity to Bouillabaisse and the town centre means you can leave the car behind for much of the stay, drifting between the beach, the shops and the restaurants at your own pace, then coming home to a quiet, private garden. For a getaway built around the sea and the rhythm of Saint-Tropez, it is an easy choice. The garden stays private and quiet, a calm place to return to once the day in town is done.
