Not far from the famous seaside resort of Saint-Tropez, along the beloved Côte d'Azur, you will find the charming village of Port Grimaud. Only around fifty years old, this resort was conceived and designed by its architect, François Spoerry, built as a lakeside port town that would make for a dream escape. Nicknamed the, “Little Venice of Provence,” it boasts elegant canals and a colourful port that allow visitors to enjoy both a taste of the Floating City and all of the beaches and chic pleasures of a break on the French Riviera. Our villa, Indigo is the perfect base from which you can enjoy this unforgettable town and the wider Azure Coast.
Located just outside the resort, 5km from the centre of Grimaud, and only 1.4km from the sea, the stunning Indigo is a beautiful luxury villa with all of the ingredients necessary for a dream getaway on the coast. Sleeping eight guests in four bedrooms, with three bathrooms, the villa has neatly manicured grounds with incredible amenities, a pretty exterior that is typical of the region, spacious interiors, air-conditioning, WIFI, and all of the mod-cons that you could need for your comfort and convenience.
Outside, Indigo is a charming salmon colour with pretty green shutters on many of the windows and doors, a terracotta roof, various porches and a balcony, and lush, neatly maintained garden framing the building. To the rear of the villa, you will find the gorgeous pool area where there is a rectangular swimming pool that can be heated and measures 10 x 5m, with a depth of 1 to 1.9m. Around this pool is the elaborate patio with sun loungers, little tables, parasols, palm trees, and more for lazy days hanging out by the water, sipping on cool drinks, reading great books, going for a swim or playing in the pool with your kids, and generally relaxing. The lovely pool house only adds to the experience and luxury of this space with its large outdoor sofas for reclining in the shade, its bar with a large fridge and ample counter space for preparing drinks and for prepping food for the barbecue just to the side of the pool house. A boules area on the grounds, the lawns, and the al fresco dining area under the porch all further ensure that time at Indigo is relaxing, luxurious, and full of the pleasures of a vacation in Provence.
With all of these things on offer right at your fingertips, you’d be forgiven for never wanting to leave! However, if you do drag yourself away and want to explore the surrounding and wider area, you’ll find: an 18-hole golf course 4km away, a sailing school 5km away, tennis courts 4km away, Saint-Tropez 11km away, Sainte Maxime 11km away, Cannes 85km away, Nice 110km away, and Monaco 130km away.
When you return home at the end of the day, you’ll then be able to enjoy the pleasures of the luxurious garden and the villa itself. Spread over two floors, the ground floor of Indigo is comprised of: a large living/dining room with a flat screen television and direct exit onto the porch and pool; a spacious kitchen with an oven with stove top, a toaster, a kettle, a microwave, a fridge-freezer, a coffee machine, and a dishwasher as well as plenty of counter space; two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms; and a separate bathroom. On the first floor there is another double bedroom, a children’s bedroom with bunk beds, another bathroom, and an exit out onto the balcony, which overlooks the pool area. The house also has a washing machine and dryer, items for children such as a high chair and a cot for kids up to 2, and reserved parking and a garage.
Available from €546 to €1255 per night, Indigo has dates free in the second half of September, making it the perfect place for a cheeky September escape on the Azure Coast this year...
