Spread over three levels, this home offers plenty of room for a relaxing group getaway to the Côte d'Azur. You’re not right by the sea here, but you’re just a fifteen-minute drive from Sainte Maxime where you can easily hop on a ferry and head into St. Tropez for a day of sunbathing. If you want to escape the crowds though, this place is just what the doctor ordered, nestled in the heart of the Provençal hills and boasting a tiered garden with lots of outdoor seating for unwinding or dining alfresco.
