Villa les Plaines

The villa

Villa les Plaines is a welcoming French holiday home where long summer days unfold with quiet ease. This attractive two - storey villa offers a relaxed, family - friendly escape, just moments from the traditional charm of Vidauban and within easy reach of the Côte d’Azur.

Inside, the air - conditioned villa balances generous living spaces with thoughtful comfort. The lounge with UK satellite TV invites gatherings by the fireplace, while the adjoining kitchen, complete with a range - style oven and American fridge, flows out to a shaded terrace. Each of the four bedrooms has direct outdoor access and three bathrooms (one en suite) ensure convenience for groups of up to 8 guests.

Outside, the Mediterranean garden is a picturesque haven where children can enjoy the swings or simply spend time together beside the 11 - metre heated pool. A shallow ‘plage’ area will delight youngsters who love to splash, and the adjoining summer kitchen with barbecue, fridge and dining space turns every lunch into a laid - back affair.

The location could hardly be more ideal. Just a very short drive from the villa lies the traditional small town of Vidauban, where bakery breakfasts and evening apéritifs await in friendly cafés. Beyond, the region is rich with possibilities from the celebrated Tuesday market in Lorgues to vineyard tours, riverside canoeing and day trips to Fréjus, Sainte - Maxime or the iconic shores of Saint - Tropez.

Whether you’re gathering with friends, escaping as a family or seeking a slice of authentic southern France, Villa les Plaines invites you experience the pleasures of this wonderful region.

Nature enthusiasts will be drawn to the spectacular Verdon Gorge, often dubbed Europe’s Grand Canyon. Less than an hour’s drive brings you to Lac de Sainte - Croix (53km) and the dramatic landscapes of the gorge itself. Nearby Moustiers - Sainte - Marie (66km), with its iconic cliffside chapel, is a must - visit. Closer to home, the Argens River offers opportunities for canoeing and other water - based activities amid beautiful scenery.

When it’s time to hit the coast, head to Sainte - Maxime (32km), a delightful Riviera town with palm - lined promenades and sun - kissed beaches.
