Surrounded by lush greenery and with that charming terracotta tiled roof, Villa Elsa is the quintessential Provençal escape. This gorgeous seven-bedroom villa overlooks the vineyards of Belle Isnarde Hill and is encircled by mature gardens, a shimmering pool and truly spectacular views. Villa Elsa is secluded, secret and sensational, an authentic hidden gem nestling in the rolling hills of the French Riviera.

With soft sand, warm water, and that incredible sparkling light that turns everything to a golden honey colour, the Côte d'Azur is a delightful dreamscape. Add to that the fact that the beaches are some of the finest in the world, and you have total perfection. The legendary Tahiti Beach, just five minutes by car from Villa Elsa, was made famous by the film ‘And God Created Woman’ with Brigitte Bardot. It's still the place where celebrities go in Saint-Tropez to top up their tan. However, if you're looking for something a little quieter, a plethora of pristine beaches are dotted all along the coast, lined by beachfront cafés where you can linger over a coffee and a delicious Tarte Tropézienne.

Villa Elsa is a skilful blend of bohemian chic and Italian designer furnishings, enhanced with a flourish of Provençal passion. The living areas are comfortable and balanced by a formal dining room with a Parisian touch, retro-style chairs and bold artwork. The kitchen is a fusion of farmhouse and ultra-chic contemporary, with everything a chef needs to create the finest French cuisine.

The lavish bedrooms are spread across the main villa and a guest house. In the main villa, four bedrooms capture that warmth and almost ethereal golden light that epitomises this part of France. Here you will find two super-king-size suites on the first floor with private balconies offering panoramic views of Baie des Canoubiers, the Château Borelli, and the Colline du Capon. On the ground floor is a split-king suite that can be converted into two single beds and a king-size suite with direct access to the garden. Three further double bedrooms suites can be found in the separate guest house - perfect for groups who like to spread out and enjoy their own space.

Meanwhile, Villa Elsa’s garden is simply breathtaking: over 4,800m² of woodland and manicured gardens surround the villa, and the terraces include an outdoor lounge area, a covered al fresco dining space, and a BBQ for informal meals. A pergola and Moroccan living room provide a relaxed place for evening soirées. Dominating the sun terrace is a freeform heated swimming pool.

With a full team of staff to ensure every need is taken care of, Villa Elsa is a sublime villa that gives you the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while and simply ‘be’ under the warm Mediterranean sun.
