The Experience

Inside is unpretentious: four sweet and simple en suite bedrooms, a big sitting room to relax in with a vaulted ceiling and oak beams. The general feeling is light and airy and there are plenty of books and interesting art on the walls.

The kitchen will be a joy to work in with French windows to the terrace and there’s a central table for helpers or those who want to chat. There’s also an outdoor kitchen and barbecue by the swimming pool and plenty of loungers for lazy afternoons reading, then swimming. Meals can be enjoyed in the garden under the shade of cork oaks and mulberry trees to the sound of tweeting birds and the occasional rumble of a tractor.

In spring the park is filled with wildflowers. The valley of St Clement is more Tuscan than Provençal, noted for its microclimate and shielded from the mistral. You’re close to Med beaches and St Tropez is a 20-minute drive, though longer in the full flush of summer.

Reviews

A real gem of a hideaway, the Villa Fontane is my idea of happiness. The beauty and peace of the surroundings grows on you, it is very restorative. Getting to know Jane and Alban Roy is an additional bonus.

Location

The neighbourhood

It's a 20-minute walk to the quaint hilltop village of La Garde-Freinet and a good selection of shops, bistros, cafés and restaurants, plus a biweekly market. From here you can climb to a ruined medieval castle – from the top there is a 360-degree view of the sea and Alps. Grimaud with its bakeries, cafés and charming restaurants is a 15-minute drive. Cogolin is 20 minutes.

Local points of interest from Jane Roy

  • You'll enjoy relaxing by the pool in our sunny garden after experiencing the glamour and hustle of St Tropez on market days.
  • Twelve hiking trails, leading into the massive Maures hills, start in La Garde Freinet village - suitable for a pleasurable Sunday stroll or a demanding athlete's challenge.
  • Provence is famous for its hill-top villages - try the aioli at Clem's in Grimaud on a Friday and any day is right for a sunset pastis in Gassin.
  • Go on a vineyard tour to taste the light rosé wines produced in the surrounding hills. Locally grown olives provide the perfect match at a musical evening in one of the properties nearby.
  • Cyclists dare to ride the winding forest roads at a thrilling speed. Golfers find themselves spoilt for choice with ten spectacular courses within a 25 mile radius. Kayaking down the Verdon Gorge is another treat not to be missed.
  • Artists have long been attracted to the glistening light of the St Tropez Gulf and many now live in La Garde Freinet as it's a village that real people live in all year round. The butcher, the baker and the artist studio are always open!

Introducing

Jane Roy

After raising a family of three in Brittany, Jane and Alban decamped to Provence in early 2018 to run their own B&B. They’ve holidayed here in years past so know the area well, happy to recommend things to do and welcoming with coffee and cakes. They live in a separate wing of the house with their stripy grey cat, who is equally friendly.
