Overlooking the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Villa Vespera is a celebration of the Mediterranean art of living. Perched at the summit of the secure Bartole estate in Grimaud, this sculptural property offers a truly exceptional retreat, where the authenticity of natural materials blends seamlessly with the comfort of modern luxury. Yet it is in its breathtaking 180-degree panoramic view that Villa Vespera reveals its full splendour, offering a captivating scene that brings together the sea, verdant hills, and the iconic silhouette of Saint-Tropez.

Built in 1972, the villa draws inspiration from the philosophy of sculptural architecture, with every line harmoniously following the contours of the land. Inside, the 660 square metres of living space unfold with remarkable fluidity. Soft curves bathed in natural light, immaculate white walls, and a palette of noble materials such as natural wood, raw stone, and traditional Provençal tilework set the tone for a serene and elegant interior. Contemporary furnishings add vibrant touches, while the six en-suite bedrooms, spread across several levels for greater privacy, offer calming sanctuaries with views of the sea or garden.

Here, the heart of the home beats in the expansive 60 square metre living room, extended by large bay windows that blur the line between inside and out. The dining room, enjoying a triple aspect view, and the fully equipped kitchen with central island invite convivial moments around the table. Outside, 150 square metres of south-facing terraces host open-air living spaces, a heated jacuzzi, shaded lounges, and many peaceful corners ideal for quiet contemplation or morning yoga with a view of the Mediterranean.

All around the villa, Mediterranean vegetation flourishes across more than 3,000 square metres of land, offering a variety of leisure and relaxation spaces designed to delight guests of all ages. The heated 12-by-6 metre pool is naturally the heart of sun-soaked days, yet becomes a magical setting for a golden-hour swim or a midnight dip with a view of the glimmering yachts in the bay and the illuminated bell tower of Saint-Tropez. Nearby, a pétanque court invites cheerful games at apéritif hour in the warm Provençal twilight. The pool house completes the picture with a babyfoot table, ping-pong, a lounge area, and a Technogym-equipped fitness space, also oriented towards the view.

Perfectly designed to host up to twelve guests, whether for a family holiday or a getaway with friends in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Villa Vespera offers refined amenities, discreet technology and enhanced security. With fibre-optic internet and extended Wi-Fi, air conditioning, alarm systems, parking for six vehicles, and bespoke concierge services available on request, every detail has been curated for a flawless stay.

Just minutes from the beaches of Grimaud and Sainte-Maxime, and only ten minutes from Saint-Tropez by water taxi, Villa Vespera promises a rare experience where natural beauty, complete privacy, and Mediterranean lifestyle meet in perfect harmony.

For stays of two weeks or more, the villa rental includes a private round-trip boat transfer from the Hôtel de Beauvallon pontoon (just 5 minutes from the villa) to the Port of Saint-Tropez, or a three-hour boat trip around the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and its surroundings.
