A haven of tranquillity in the gulf of Saint-Tropez
On a private estate on the peaceful commune of Sainte-Maxime in Le Var, the Carré Blanc villa with its clean lines, all in immaculate white, is an invitation to farniente, languishing opposite the world’s most famous fishing village.
Sheltered from the wind below the Massif des Maures, Sainte-Maxime, the most densely-populated commune around the Gulf, has a harbour highly-prized by fans of yachting. Surrounded by greenery, this little paradise for adepts of watersports and those fond of sandy beaches and intimate creeks offers a wide array of activities and entertainment. Tennis, golf, shopping, festivals and cultural events are all to found on the agenda of this town, also well-known for its botanical gardens. It takes just 15 minutes on the maritime shuttle to reach the very essential Saint-Tropez.
Near the centre of Sainte-Maxime, the Carré Blanc villa with its contemporary architecture offers six suites, a sauna, wine cellar, and a stunning view of the sea. Set in a garden of 2,400 m2 surrounded by pines and enhanced by Mediterranean shrubs and plants, it opens out to vast terraces and an infinity pool. Special attention has been lavished on the indoor appointments. As witnessed by the lounge with its generous dimensions, Charles Eames armchairs, B&B Italia loungers, and tables signed Perry for Minotti. Stone and wood, natural materials and colours, with subtle touches of red adding warmth... The accent here is quite clearly on equilibrium and elegance.
