Description of Villa La Saudade

A complete guide to the property, its rooms, facilities and the surrounding area.

The Property at a Glance

The property consists of two villas and is situated on the sea with its own private beach and a couple of moorings for a boat.

Bedrooms & Living Space

  • The main villa has three bedrooms on the top floor, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
  • All three bedrooms look out onto the sea and share a large balcony.
  • The second house has an additional three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the top floor, with a kitchen, toilet and sitting room on the ground floor.
  • The studio apartment is self-contained on the lower ground level.
  • In total there are 7 bedrooms and a studio apartment.

The Ground Floor

The ground floor of the main house has an entrance with a toilet, the kitchen, and a large area divided into three sections that all look out directly onto the sea — a fireplace and breakfast table, a sitting room and a dining room.

This floor gives out onto the garden at the back and a hot tub in the front that overlooks the sea. Out from the breakfast area there is a large patio, so guests can enjoy breakfast overlooking the water.

Outdoor Living & the Summer Kitchen

Steps lead down to another large patio area covered by vines and trellis, shaded from the hot sun. This is where the barbecue area is situated, with an outdoor kitchen and a large table that seats at least 12 people. The area also leads down to the beach through an archway.

The sitting room, breakfast and winter dining room area is approximately 1,500 sq ft.

The Beach Suite

At beach level there is a whole master suite with a large bathroom and bedroom, in which a number of beds have been placed so it can be used as a kids' dormitory. It has its own entrance with two large windows giving directly onto the beach, and there is a hot/cold water shower on the beach.

Comfort & Convenience

  • ADSL fast-line internet and Wi-Fi throughout the house.
  • Satellite television with most international channels.
  • A live-in caretaker who cleans daily, with her husband tending the garden.
  • Parking space in front of the house for at least three cars.
  • The local supermarket will deliver.
  • A boat can be arranged for hire for the duration of your stay.

Location & Neighbourhood

The house is in Sainte-Maxime, which faces St Tropez, and has the great advantage of facing south towards the sea — so you can sit outside at night without the dampness. There is a well-guarded house next door, neighbours on the other side, and a 4-star hotel nearby.

The nearest shops and tennis courts are 200 yards away. The port is about 500 yards away, from which a shuttle runs all day until 01:00 to the port of St Tropez — a journey of about seven minutes.

A Note from the Owner

Many applicants have been turned down because the owner does not want the house destroyed by kids running wild or pop groups not respecting the property. The house is also in the front row for all the fireworks displays throughout the summer.
