PR1160 Villa Pateck

South of France villa near beach – Villa Pateck offers stunning sea views and a private salt-water pool in enclosed gardens, all very close to the village and sandy beach of Le Rayol.

Villa Pateck enjoys a superb hillside location with glorious views over the Mediterranean sea to the islands of Port Cros and Levant. You can enjoy these views from the house, but you may decide to make the most of this memorable panorama and take all your meals on the balcony terrace! It is delightful to find a villa in such a peaceful setting, yet to know you are only a hilly walk (or a short drive) from the beach and village.You will find everything you need at Le Rayol - a bakery, a butcher and good restaurants, plus the Plage du Rayol beach and beach bar. The village of Rayol-Canadel, slightly further from the villa, also has plenty of shops and restaurants, as well as a post office and banks, and a weekly market on Fridays. There are other local markets too, at Cavaliere on Mondays and Canadel on Tuesdays.

Also walkable are the famous gardens at Le Domaine du Rayol and the striking monumental Pateck steps, which provide a link between the sea and the Pateck Pergola in the town centre. Summer concerts are held at the Jardin Botanique and its world-famous arboretum, which is very pleasant in the heat of the summer! The pictureque village of Bormes-les-Mimosas is a short distance away, and the lively resort of St Tropez less than 20 miles. You can even visit the nearby islands, including the beautiful, protected island of Porquerolles. There is something that will appeal to every member of the family at this South of France villa near beach.
