The villa Cravate aux Papillons stands in its own grounds of 2 hectares (approximately 5 acres). The villa faces south and, from its hillside position, enjoys a panoramic view over the Massif des Maures towards the coast with Grimaud and its medieval castle clearly visible in the middle distance. There are a couple of neighbouring properties but both out of sight and do not overlook either the house or the pool.
Accessible from the sitting room and kitchen is a large terraced area providing plenty of protection from the sun and ideal for eating al fresco. Around the property is a lawned garden with flowering shrubs. The swimming pool is situated a little below the villa, is a good size (12m x 6m) and enjoying views toward Grimaud and the coast. There are Roman steps to enter the pool at the shallow end. Beyond and below the pool are terraces belonging to the property. There is a large garage in the parking area at the rear.
Pool lounger beds cushions and pool towels are provided
There is a house book in the villa which provides extensive information about the property and neighbourhood. A copy can be provided by email after the rental balance is received
The villa offers comfortable accommodation and modern facilities:
- There is one double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and separate WC and bidet
- Two twin bedrooms with ensuite showers and WCs. All bedrooms have mosquito netting and shutters.
- The sitting room contains two sofas and a couple of arm chairs. There is a TV and a sound system for an Ipod/IPhone or similar. The TV has free to view English channels or some French and German channels. The latter two require some changes to the system which can be done easily on request.
- The kitchen contains an oven, induction hob, large fridge, microwave oven, coffee making machine, electric kettle and toaster, dishwasher and washing machine. The tumble drier is in the garage.
- There is also a separate cloakroom off the hall
- There is a mezzanine floor above the hall which may be used as an additional bedroom
A cot is available on request.
There is an extendable teak table with chairs on the terrace for dining. In addition there is comfortable garden furniture for use either on the terrace or lawn and sun loungers for the pool.
The villa is situated about 2.5 kilometres from La Garde Freinet, 5 kilometres from Grimaud, 15 kilometres from St.Tropez and 10 kilometres from Port Grimaud
While Port Grimaud is a modern Venice there are many old and historic villages to visit. St.Tropez is the biggest attraction in the area, a showcase for the rich and famous whilst still retaining its fishing village identity. For children, there is a large fun fair at La Foux offering carousels to bungee jumping. Visiting the Grand Canyon du Verdon is a good day out for all. As this is France, there is always a huge choice of bars and restaurants to suit all pockets. A little research or exploration can be immensely rewarding.
La Garde Freinet is an old and most attractive village with a good range of shops, including a post office, chemist and doctor's surgery. It, like most other villages in the region, has an open market in the square twice a week. Details of the local markets including St. Tropez are listed in the House Book
Cogolin is the most French town in the area and is often overlooked in favour of its better known neighbours. It is well worth a visit and has an excellent market.
The region around La Garde Freinet offers a wide range of activities and sightseeing. There is golf at Vidauban and Beauvallon, water sports from the beach at Port Grimaud, tennis at Cogolin and 'boules' in most village squares every evening.
Given the villa's position there is plenty of scope for long, scenic walks in the surrounding countryside. French language classes are available locally.
For nightlife St Tropez provides some very fashionable bars and clubs. Further afield there are Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo.
