About this property

One Bedroomed Self Contained Guest Cottage with large private terrace and pool

Our self contained Guest Cottage is designed with flair for the comfort and relaxation of guests. Perfectly isolated with its own entrance, private terrace and separate driveway with automatic gates which allow guests to come and go as they please yet only 1 km away from the village with shops, choice of restaurants, pharmacy and boulangeries and 10 minutes drive from the vibrant Ste. Maxime and sandy beaches of the Gulf of St Tropez.
The bedroom has a very comfortable queen sized four poster bed with crisp white bedlinen and adjoins the marble tiled Italian shower room. There is a discrete kitchenette at one end of the well furnished sitting room which has fully retractable windows and shutters opening on to a private terrace with table and chairs for outside dining and loungers for relaxing with a glass of wine under the parasols.
Set amidst beautiful countryside, the property has grounds of 6.5 acres, much of which is woodland. Pins parasols and cork oaks abound and provide much needed shade during the hot summer months. The air is heady with the scent of mimosa, jasmine, rosemary and lavender, all of which grow wild. Hermann tortoises, hares and rabbits leap around the land in the coolness of early morning whilst Skops owls and Hoopoes can be heard through the evening. Our neighbours, French and English alike, describe it as 'un vrai Paradis'.
The property is hidden amongst woodland and vineyards and is very private with no neighbouring houses visible. It is surrounded by nature trails which makes the area popular with walkers and cyclists enjoying a little gentle exercise. For those who are interested in ancient stones, there are many Dolmens within walking distance of the property, which can be traced from local Ordnance Survey Maps. The swimming pool is set apart from the buildings, nestled in an oasis of its' own and surrounded by chairs and loungers. A covered wooden pavilion with cushioned seating sits at one end of the pool. Wide steps lead you easily into the water which maintains a steady 28 degrees from mid May to September. The pool is not shared with any other guests being our sole letting property. A fairly steep hill climb, just beyond the house, will lead you to a breathtaking view of the Gulf of St. Tropez.
For those wanting more excitement Ste Maxime with its numerous beach clubs is 10 minutes away. A 7minute Ferry across the Gulf will take you to St Tropez with as much shopping and partying as you could wish for before returning to the tranquillity of your cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Faulkner

Host profile image
I am a sculptor and my husband is an actor. Ten years ago we purchased our house in France as a retreat and an antidote to London. Well.... that and the long balmy summers.! When we are here time stands still and problems fade away. . It has proved everything we hoped it would be.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Plan de la Tour when we first saw the village, nestled on the plain, between the mountains of the Var and the sea. The Route Touristique is not for the faint hearted but the views are stunning. Fortunately there is a far less challenging road to our village.
Our house sits in its own space: 6.5 acres of gently sloping woodland and gardens within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is very private and peaceful whilst being only a few minutes from the village and ten minutes from the beaches and night life of Ste Maxime and a quick ferry ride to the glamour of St Tropez.
A string of beach clubs at Les Issambres( next to Ste Maxime) are fantastic to spend the day , have a lazy lunch, swim in the warm Mediterranean Sea and lie on a lounger with a cocktail.

What makes this property unique

Our property is well isolated and sits in 6.5 acres of land. The cottage has its own entrance; its own driveway with automatic gates and its own terrace. There are no other guests or letting units.
The pool is only shared with us and we are very aware of allowing our guests their privacy. We usually use the pool at the beginning and end of the day when we clean the pool and check the water balance.
Anti bacterial cleaning products are used when preparing the cottage for guests.
