Surrounded by lush greenery and Mediterranean gardens, this villa boasts a private pool and a summer kitchen. The terrace is well-equipped for alfresco dining and basking in the sun, with lovely views of the surrounding vineyards. We think families will settle right in here – there's a room that can double as a dedicated nursery, and the home is spread over a main villa and a separate studio, granting extra privacy. The driveway has space for up to four cars, and we think you'll definitely want to drive here, whether you're heading into the quaint village of La Motte or enjoying a day trip to Saint Tropez.
