While our terrace is the best spot to soak up the sun and rest, there are many spots which can be private. There are numerous rock pools to explore and a lovely headland to explore with views to St. Tropez.

At the end of September is 'Les Voiles de St. Tropez' where sailing boats of varying sizes race. It's spectacular to hire a boat or to take the ferry and cruise amongst these beautiful competitors. The atmosphere is electric and festive as liveried crews get ready to sail 90-foot racing sail boats. The boats can be seen too from the terrace of the villa with a glass of champagne or Pimms.

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR STAY!
We stayed here for 7 nights during July 2023. It was fabulous and everything we hoped for. An adorable, clean house that was very well stocked. The sparkling clean pool has a box of masks, snorkels, floaties and toys which was very handy. Snorkeling in front of the property was great and it was an easy walk to beautiful beaches. The bus line runs straight into town and the bus stop is very close to the house. There are multiple spaces for dining, playing games and visiting. And the views can’t be beat. Most of all, the communication with Rathie and Philippe was fantastic. And check in/check was easy. They really go above and beyond to ensure you have a great vacation and are very kind people. Staying here was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip and we would definitely come back again!

Emplacement exceptionnel
En arrivant, on est frappé par la beauté du site, la terrasse sur la mer fait une vingtaine de mètres, la piscine est de taille moyenne. Une porte ouvre sur une petite plage rocheuse très peu fréquentée, même au mois d'août. La villa est très bien conçue, facile à vivre. Les chambres sont confortables et bien distribuées. La route est au-dessus de la villa et, sur la terrasse ou dans les chambres, on n'entend pas la circulation. La baie est tellement accueillante que de nombreux bateaux viennent mouiller, mais devant la villa, des bouées jaunes délimitent une zone interdite. Nous y avons passé de merveilleux moments.

Great stay, amazing view!
We had a wonderful time at this great place. We loved the peaceful atmosphere on the terrasse early in the morning, swimming and snorkeling in the extremely clear water after just a few steps through the beach door or watching busy activities on yachts, jet ski riders or stand-up paddlers. Friends from Germany who visited us for some birthday celebrations were stunned. The house itself is spacious and very nice although some of the equipment could be improved. The French facility manager was very helpful and friendly. Thank you for everything. We will definitely come back, Ellen, Thomas, family and friends

Summar 2020
Was a lovely stay. We know the area well, having stayed in Les Issembras for 4 years. A personal choice to be made by visitors is a) Do you want to walk to shops/markets? b) Do you want Aircon? For this property, it is No for both. On the other hand, it is most likely the best beachfront property we've stayed in if you exclude these 2 points. The house was lovely. nearby restaurant like Les Voille and La Prao superb. Overall, nice place.

About the host

Hosted by Rathie Bartlett and Jade Bartlett (daughter)

Host profile image
I was born in Sri Lanka and went to school and lived in the UK from a very young age. I now spend a lot of time in Sri Lanka and am lucky enough to spend some of the cold and dark winter months there.

My daughter Jade will be helping me to manage the bookings for our holiday home in France.

I love The South of France and enjoy the food, wine, climate and atmosphere. I really love swimming directly from the villa into the sea. Since a marine park was cordoned off in 2019 there are many fish outside the villa, and I love snorkelling there.

I am usually in France for at least 2 months of the year and love to come for the Voile de St Tropez which is at the end of September.

Apart from swimming my other love is playing bridge. The villa is a wonderful spot for my friends and I to play bridge. Sometimes, especially if it's windy on the terrace, we play in the tranquil courtyard with its olive trees and pots of herbs and flowers.

I read a lot and even if the villa has many guests there are private areas where one can be alone undisturbed to read or snooze.

I love the night sky and often see shooting stars, constellations and planets. There is not much light pollution. I also love watching the lightening as it lights up the clouds making an amazing lightening show. Even in the rain the location is wonderful especially when the waves get bigger, and you feel like they are coming on to the terrace, but of course, they never do unless it's a winter storm. Winter months too can be interesting.

It's worth getting up for the sunrise at least one morning as it's truly spectacular. It
doesn't last long but is incredible. The moon rise, especially during a full moon, is amazing, just like a silver pathway to heaven on the water. Nature is such a wonderful thing and I always feel close to nature at the villa. Many artists lived in the area as the light of the evening sky at dusk too is very interesting.

Why they chose this property

My family has owned this property for over 24 years. Its magic still amazes me! We chose to buy it as it's drive-able from the UK and when it was holiday time with the children we could get into our car and drive across beautiful France without having to book far in advance.

My children are now grown up so are not reliant on summer holidays to visit. We had such a great time in the summer as a family we would love to now share it with other families.

The villa has the most unique location. It's right on the water. I always wanted to have a house on the Mediterranean, I find the Atlantic Ocean too cold to swim in even during the summer months. From the terrace I can go swimming and snorkelling which is great. You can catch your supper from the rocks if you are a good fisherman. I prefer to snorkel and see the shoals of thousands of sardines and large fish swimming about. You can almost touch them.

The Med being non tidal is very safe for even young children to swim. There is a beach just below the terrace which can be very sandy depending if the wind has blown a little seaweed on to it. There are plenty of rock pools to explore. A marine reserve was created in 2019 Infront of the villa.

Cherry Beach is a 2-minute walk and is a beautiful sandy beach which is supervised, and swimming areas marked. There are many restaurants along the beach for tasty meals or sundowners. I prefer my terrace as it's quieter and the views are magical day or night.

The area around the villa offers visitors so many different attractions from having a peaceful and relaxing time to being more energetic. Swimming, snorkelling, water skiing, sailing, jet ski safaris, horse riding, golf, fishing, tennis, walking, wine tasting, restaurants, clubs, bars to sandy beaches and breath taking scenery to markets to designer shopping are easy accessible.

Using my beautiful villa as a base, it's possible to tailor make a holiday which will be fun for everybody in your group.

What makes this property unique

Ste Maxime is a family resort but the bright glitzy glamour of St Tropez is just across the bay.

Around the headland at Point de Sardineaux, St Tropez is seen with beautiful views to it. Cruise ships, sailing boats and other vessels leave St. Tropez and Ste Maxime harbor and glide past the headland. The terrace is just as enchanting at night time. There is no 'black view' as the twinkling light of Les Issambres makes it look like a jewelled wonderland.

The house is truly magical in the day time or evening. Once through the gates people do not want to leave. I have at least 3 families who return annually.

There is a chiminea on the terrace and it makes it very cosy to go out and collect drift wood in the day time and light the chiminea at night.

The sun rises are stunning as is the moon rise making a silver line to the heavens. There is absolutely no interruptions to the beautiful views out to sea.

The courtyard is a peaceful place with 2 large olive trees and many herbs and flowers growing and a fountain. It's lovely especially in the afternoon to relax and play cards or read a book. Herbs can be used for cooking.

The lawn is a great place to soak up the evening sun.

The villa is about a 45 minute walk to Ste Maxime along the coast road which has beautiful views across to St. Tropez. There is a pavement all the way.

There are 2 tennis clubs close by, again with beautiful views. The one in Les Issambres is flood lit.

Lovers of golf will be spoilt by the hilly but beautiful golf course in Ste Maxime. Equipment for hire and lessons are available there.

In Ste Maxime there’s a water park, tree adventure course, library and cinema. Go karting, ten pin bowling, mini golf, fun fairs and many more activities are on the doorstep.

During the Summer weeks there are wonderful firework displays all along the coast. The pyrotechnics are especially amazing on August 15th.

You will love this magical place, come and share it. A warm welcome awaits!
