Villa Grimaud

Villa Grimaud is a house with genuine history, one of the very first homes built in Port Grimaud by Francois Spoerry, who created it as his private residence and lived and worked here as architect of the entire project while the port took shape around him. That provenance gives the villa a special place in the story of this remarkable lakeside town, and a character no newer house can replicate.

Larger than most of the canal houses that define Port Grimaud, the villa offers six bedrooms and four bathrooms, ideal for welcoming a large party. The layout is generous and considered, with an office, a living room, a dining room and a large kitchen with a breakfast bar, along with an outdoor dining area, a large terrace, a balcony and a roof terrace that makes the most of the waterside setting. A dedicated staff space with two further bedrooms keeps service discreet and close at hand.

For those who arrive by water, the property is a genuine rarity, with a garage and three private moorings able to accommodate yachts of up to sixteen metres, so a boat can be tied up at the door. Inside, the house has been renovated with a bold interior design, Italian slate flooring running throughout to striking effect.

For a group who love the water and appreciate architectural pedigree, Villa Grimaud is a genuinely distinctive choice. Moor the yacht, settle into a piece of Port Grimaud history, and let the canals become your own private address.
