On a scenic hillside surrounded by lush forest and yet just 20 minutes from Saint-Tropez is six-bedroom Villa Grimaud Hills. This spacious villa offers breathtaking views over the countryside and hills from its peaceful two-hectare plot.

Thanks to the owner of Villa Grimaud Hills being an interior designer, the villa is a showcase of high-quality finish and artistic balance. The zen atmosphere is enhanced by the use of natural materials in construction, such as stone and wood. And quirky pieces of colourful furniture in the open-plan living/dining space on the upper level make for a characterful place to relax. Whether that's with meals or watching TV in front of the fireplace.

As you explore both the first floor and garden level, you'll be greeted by vibrant artworks and beautifully crafted pieces of furniture. All the first-floor rooms, including the modern kitchen and living/dining spaces, open onto a large wooden terrace with seating and an area for al fresco meals. This includes the master bedroom with king-size bed and plush bathroom with shower and tub.

The five other ensuite bedrooms are located on the garden level and as such offer the option of a peaceful morning stroll to start the day. Four of these have two single beds each, with the possibility of converting some into a king-size bed. And perfectly accommodating a group of younger children is the dormitory-style bedroom with five single beds.

Children and adults alike are sure to love the heated swimming pool and tennis court - the perfect spots for unwinding and burning off some steam. And indoors, the home cinema room is rue to keep everyone entertained.

Walk to the nearest village in just ten minutes to enjoy meals out or browse the shops. It's also easy to spend a day by the sea, with nearby Saint-Tropez boasting several stunning sandy beaches, as well as endless elegant bars, restaurants and boutiques.
