First impressions of Villa Frida

Villa Frida is situated in a quiet domaine not far from St Tropez, the south side  looks out over umbrella pines. From the moment you drive through the gates, you will find yourself in a wonderfully green haven, the perfect escape for families and friends to explore all this beautiful corner of France has to offer.  There are picture perfect hill top villages, a wide choice of sandy beaches, a wealth of local markets, restaurants and of course, there is St Tropez,  8 km and 15 minutes by car.

The house is all on one level with a welcoming open plan living area at its heart.  The house style is warm and modern with artistic and bohemian touches, skilfully blended with Lucy’s finds from local brocantes. The 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms lead off from either side of this area, making it a perfect choice for 2 families of 4 for example, or groups of friends.  Each room is simply and thoughtfully decorated, with all you need for a comfortable stay. Outside you will find a generous dining terrace leading out from the kitchen area and an electric plancha style barbecue.  In high summer you can opt to move the table further out under the shade of the mulberry trees and enjoy long lunches and dinners with a view down to the pool and woodland beyond.

The large pool is the focal point of the garden, perfect for those morning lengths, yoga on the sundeck or just a quiet moment before the rest of the house is awake. Or take a brisk walk to the top of the hill to admire the view over to Grimaud across the vines. There is also a comfortable soft seating area for relaxing with an aperitif or just to sit and chat or nap.   

Here at Villa Frida, you are surrounded by nature, yet so near to all this unique corner of the Var has to offer.  You have so much choice. It is lovely to go to the beach for lunch or visit a local market  and then return to Villa Frida’s calm welcoming atmosphere.  Alternatively it is a 10 minute walk through the domaine (or minutes by car) down to the boulangerie, to pick up some croissants and baguettes for breakfast and then return to relax by the pool.  However you choose to spend your day, Villa Frida provides a wonderful home from home for your stay.
