About this property
Villa les Plaines is a welcoming French holiday home where long summer days unfold with quiet ease. This attractive two-storey villa offers a relaxed, family-friendly escape, just moments from the traditional charm of Vidauban and within easy reach of the Côte d’Azur.
Inside, the air-conditioned villa balances generous living spaces with thoughtful comfort. The lounge with UK satellite TV invites gatherings by the fireplace, while the adjoining kitchen, complete with a range-style oven and American fridge, flows out to a shaded terrace. Each of the four bedrooms has direct outdoor access and three bathrooms (one en suite) ensure convenience for groups of up to 8 guests.
Outside, the Mediterranean garden is a picturesque haven where children can enjoy the swings or simply spend time together beside the 11-metre heated pool. A shallow ‘plage’ area will delight youngsters who love to splash, and the adjoining summer kitchen with barbecue, fridge and dining space turns every lunch into a laid-back affair.
The location could hardly be more ideal. Just a very short drive from the villa lies the traditional small town of Vidauban, where bakery breakfasts and evening apéritifs await in friendly cafés. Beyond, the region is rich with possibilities from the celebrated Tuesday market in Lorgues to vineyard tours, riverside canoeing and day trips to Fréjus, Sainte-Maxime or the iconic shores of Saint-Tropez.
Whether you’re gathering with friends, escaping as a family or seeking a slice of authentic southern France, Villa les Plaines invites you experience the pleasures of this wonderful region.
In the heart of the Var region, Villa les Plaines enjoys a wonderful setting just a very short drive from charming Vidauban (2.7km). This typically Provençal small town, framed by vineyards and hills, offers an authentic slice of southern French life with its excellent restaurants, bustling café bars and local shops. Stroll through its pretty streets or enjoy an apéritif in the shade of a plane tree – the village is the perfect base for exploring the treasures of the French Riviera hinterland, whilst being only 32km from Sainte-Maxime and its beaches.
Wine lovers will be in heaven here, with renowned vineyards scattered across the region offering unforgettable tasting experiences. Just 13km away lies Lorgues, home to one of Provence’s most celebrated weekly markets every Tuesday morning – a sensory feast of colours, aromas and local specialities. For further rustic charm, explore the surrounding villages like Aups (35km), famed for its olive oil and laid-back atmosphere, or meander through the hilltop lanes of Châteaudouble (36km) and Bargemon (38km), each offering postcard-worthy views.
Nature enthusiasts will be drawn to the spectacular Verdon Gorge, often dubbed Europe’s Grand Canyon. Less than an hour’s drive brings you to Lac de Sainte-Croix (53km) and the dramatic landscapes of the gorge itself. Nearby Moustiers-Sainte-Marie (66km), with its iconic cliffside chapel, is a must-visit. Closer to home, the Argens River offers opportunities for canoeing and other water-based activities amid beautiful scenery.
When it’s time to hit the coast, head to Sainte-Maxime (32km), a delightful Riviera town with palm-lined promenades and sun-kissed beaches. From here, take the ferry across the bay to explore the enchanting canals of Port Grimaud or soak up the legendary glamour of Saint-Tropez. Alternatively, enjoy a day out in Fréjus (32km) or Saint-Raphaël (35km), where Roman history, seaside dining and golden sands await.
Whether you’re drawn by scenic landscapes, authentic Provençal culture or a touch of Riviera elegance, Villa les Plaines places you at the heart of it all.
