Description

Soaring above the Giens Peninsula, Villa Altavista is the highest-situated modern family home in the area, offering breathtaking 180° panoramic sea views, a stunning infinity pool, and serene surroundings. Just 100 meters from secluded coves and a five-minute drive from the renowned Almanarre Beach, this villa combines the charm of Provence with the refined comforts of a coastal retreat.

Lovingly held within the same family for three generations, the villa is imbued with a warm and authentic atmosphere, surrounded by fragrant maquis and forestland. Guests will enjoy total tranquility, with hiking trails and natural beauty just outside the door. The property is perched at the top of the hill, providing what locals describe as a unique vantage point—perfect for watching unforgettable sunsets from May through September. Each bedroom offers a glimpse of the sea, reinforcing the sense of connection to nature throughout the home.

The centerpiece of the property is the infinity pool, which overlooks the Bay of Giens and can be enjoyed from March to October. Heated to 27°C between May and September (weather permitting), the pool features both shallow and deep areas, making it ideal for guests of all ages. A Jacuzzi complements the experience, offering a relaxing way to unwind while taking in the view.

Inside, the villa has been fully renovated and thoughtfully laid out across two floors, with nine rooms in total and 140 m² of living space. It includes four air-conditioned bedrooms ranging from 15 to 35 m², including a spacious master suite. There are two modern bathrooms, as well as a large pool house with an additional outdoor shower—ideal for larger groups or summer refreshment.

The open-plan living areas feature a stylish kitchen, a comfortable dining room, and a cozy lounge with fireplace. A large covered terrace equipped with a gas barbecue makes for memorable alfresco dining experiences, while the landscaped garden features fruit trees and a boulodrome with pétanque balls for family fun.

The villa also offers high-speed WiFi, a full entertainment package including Netflix, Canal+, and TNT, and convenient parking for up to four vehicles.

Villa Altavista Giens is a peaceful haven designed for families, nature lovers, and travelers in search of both comfort and beauty on the French Riviera.
