#### Location
With stunning views of this part of the upmarket Cote D'azur coastline, from Saint-Tropez to Sainte Maxime, Villa Grise is located in the beautiful hills of the prestigious Domaine de la Colline commune It's a couple of minutes drive down to Port Grimaud or just a little further to many other highlights of this area, whether exclusive beach clubs, idyllic villages or a wealth of activities for young and old.

Port Grimaud (2km) is mainly a traffic free zone with a great marina that can only be accessed by foot or boat. There are lots of pretty coloured houses, Venetian style bridges and small boats to watch come and go and there appears to be an overall relaxed atmosphere, particularly compared to some of the more glamourous towns nearby. As some of the areas are privately owned you can take a guided boat trip to tour the marina and then kick back with a drink or meal in one of the marina's cafes and restaurants. You can also enjoy great views of the marina from the Church of Saint-Francis of Assisi.

Fashionable Saint-Tropez (7km) is just a short drive away, or in the summer you can beat the traffic, park in Port Grimaud and take the ferry across from there during the day. Saint-Tropez is famous for its winding medieval streets, traditional pastel-painted fishermen's cottages, boutiques and restaurants and the port with fishing boats moored alongside luxurious yachts. Those who enjoy the glitz and glamour must also visit Pampelonne Beach (15km) and its various beach restaurants including the exclusive Club 55, popular with celebrities as well as visitors.

The older medieval village of Grimaud (6km) is located on top of a hill and stands out for its flower filled cobbled streets, ancient churches and stunning views. It offers traditional French boutiques, bars, a good range of restaurants plus a weekly antique market every Sunday. One of the main highlights of the village, other than the typical Provencal character and history, is the ruins of the eleventh century castle at the top of the village. A short but steep walk from the village to the castle is worth it for the magnificent views of the sea and surrounding countryside. Reward yourself after with a coffee or ice-cream in one of the many pretty cafes along the narrow lanes filled with bougainvillea.

Outdoor activities in the area include tennis, golf, horse-riding, go-karting, polo and funfairs for young children. In the summer months you can practice a variety of watersports at the sandy beaches in Port Grimaud or head to the tennis courts in Beauvallon (4km).

The Cote d'Azur offers a magnificent coastline of sandy beaches with crystal clear sea-waters, not just the fashionable and private beach clubs but also beautifully unspoilt areas such as the six kilometres of La Croix Valmer coastline where you will find some stunning walks surrounded by diverse flora and fauna. Furthermore, inland there are delightful Provencal villages to discover such as Ramatuelle, Gassin, and Bormes les Mimosas and fields of lavender making this arguably one of the most beautiful areas in France.
