Villa Mare is a brand new house on the Marres road, and it has the crisp, uncomplicated appeal of somewhere designed for modern Riviera living. Just five minutes from both the beaches of Pampelonne and the centre of Saint-Tropez, it occupies one of the more convenient positions on the peninsula, close to everything that matters yet set back in its own quiet pocket of green.
The house is bright and well proportioned throughout. A large salon and dining room form the heart of the ground floor, opening to a modern kitchen and flowing easily toward the garden and the light. The finishes are clean and current, the product of recent construction, so everything feels fresh and considered rather than lived-in.
The bedrooms are arranged on the upper floor, each one ensuite and positioned to make the most of the outlook. From here the eye travels across the four thousand square metres of land that surround the villa, an unusually generous plot for this part of the coast, giving the house a real sense of privacy and space.
Outdoors, a manicured garden holds a fantastic heated pool, the natural focus of a long summer day. The heating extends the season at both ends, so the water stays inviting well beyond the peak weeks of August. A garage handles arrivals, and the quiet Marres setting keeps the summer crowds at a comfortable remove. For a group who want a contemporary, low-key base within minutes of the beach and the town, Villa Mare makes an easy and appealing choice.
