This ancient home is conveniently close to La Seyne-sur-Mer and Toulon as well as a lovely sandy bay with coastal eateries.

Handsomely perched above the sea with exceptional French Riviera views, the Villa exudes timeless elegance alongside contemporary style. This historic residence is just a stroll from a wonderful sandy bay with beachside restaurants and within easy reach of La Seyne-sur-Mer and Toulon.

Dating back to the late 19th century, its original creator drew inspiration from his time in Indochina – its shape pays respect to his love of the pagoda design whilst the three dragons resting at the very top of the villa were brought back from his travels in the Far East.

In more recent times, this magnificent villa has undergone a complete 21st century renovation yet still retains its authenticity and charm. Beautiful furnishings complement the picture-book windows, many looking straight out towards the sea, and modern features such as air-conditioning have been added. Each of the five inviting bedrooms has a private bathroom - the king-size double with a free-standing bath and romantic sea-view terrace is especially graceful.

Whether basking in the sunshine or listening to the breeze blowing through the pines, the gardens are simply glorious. Not only is there an infinity heated pool facing the Mediterranean, there are also vast terraces perfect for an aperitif as you gaze out towards the azure-coloured sea. Play pétanque in characterful surroundings (there’s also table tennis, billiards and table football inside) or wander through the verdant grounds dotted with olive and yucca trees.

When it’s time to leave, stroll down the lane towards the far-end of one of the area’s most popular beaches – a few minutes further and you can be soaking up the summer charm of beachside restaurants and the sandy bay backed by an attractive promenade. There’s a range of watersports, a shady park as well as atmospheric evening markets in July and August.

The wilder side of the coast also awaits with rocky coves a short walk away or drive towards the incredible walking trails of nearby Saint Mandrier sur Mer and the corniche Tamaris. Not forgetting the lovely maritime town of La Seyne-sur-Mer with its fish markets, pastel-coloured houses and enchanting ambience.

Then there’s the grand port city of Toulon with its bustling harbour, historic buildings, shops, markets and more. Admire sensational views by taking the cable car up to Mont Faron or hop on a ferry to Île de Porquerolles for yet another idyllic experience just off the Côte d'Azur.
