Ivoire

Description

All is simplicity and sophistication at this casual, walkable villa in the French Riviera. A linden tree shades the terraces outside, where you can take your tea beneath the buttery yellow autumn leaves. Tables and loungers at every turn invite you to relax outside - dine al fresco all together on the terrace, or split into smaller groups, chatting by the private pool. All that's needed? A glass of local wine, of course.

The polished, minimalist interior was designed by Philippe Stark, and was featured in Maisons et Decors Mediterranee (the French Homes & Gardens equivalent). Your guests will love the handy shower room just off the pool, and the modern gourmet kitchen. The bedrooms include three kingly suites, as well as a twin room beneath the eaves for the kids.

Tiles and ceramics are the main export of Salernes, the town that sits just 800m from your holiday villa. You'll find picture-perfect fountains and a river cutting through this substantial town, with no need to go anywhere else for groceries or restaurants. If your eye is on the coast, head for Saint-Tropez, an hour away. Wineries dot the landscape between the villa and the sea - go taste!
