Villa Vignoble is a six-bedroom countryside villa in Grimaud, set within large lawned gardens approximately 16 kilometres from St Tropez, with a heatable private pool and a recently completed renovation that brings contemporary interiors to a traditional Provençal structure. The property sleeps up to 13 guests across six bedrooms, including a self-contained garden annexe, making it one of the more capable large-group villas in the Bay of St Tropez area without crossing into estate territory. The ground floor opens to the garden on three sides, with a full outdoor kitchen and covered dining terrace that allow the cooking and eating to move outside entirely during summer months. A private chef is available on request, alongside maid service three days per week and an English-speaking CV Villas representative on call throughout the stay. The villa is managed by CV Villas, a well-established specialist operator with deep inventory across the Côte d'Azur. It sits closest to Grimaud village, five kilometres away, with Port Grimaud ten kilometres out and the beach at Pampelonne twenty-nine kilometres distant. What distinguishes it from comparable rentals in the area is the combination of generous indoor-outdoor flow, the triple bunk room that makes it workable for families with younger children, and the option to expand the group by renting the adjacent Jardin de Grimaud villa for up to 12 more guests. This is a practical, well-finished property rather than a design statement, and it suits large families or multi-family groups who want space, a working pool and a proper base for exploring the St Tropez peninsula.

Best time to visit

summer

peak crowdpremium value

Summer delivers the heat, long days and full access to the St Tropez coastline that define the French Riviera experience this villa is positioned to provide.

peak crowdpremium value

Summer is the primary season, with July and August bringing reliable heat, long days and full access to the beaches and coastal towns of the St Tropez peninsula. June and September offer the same sunshine with fewer visitors and more availability. Spring brings mild temperatures and wildflowers across the Var countryside. Winters are quiet and cool, with most coastal infrastructure scaled back, making the property best suited to late spring through early autumn.

winter

dec · jan · feb

Mild by northern European standards but noticeably cooler, with average daytime temperatures around 10-14°C. Rain is possible, particularly in December and February, though sunny days are common.

8-14°C

low crowdexcellent value

The pool is available with heating on request, though winter swimming is uncommon. The coastal infrastructure around St Tropez scales back significantly between November and March. Most villa rentals during this period are at their lowest annual rates and availability is good.

spring

mar · apr · may

Warming steadily through the season, with April and May bringing reliable sunshine and mild temperatures. The Var countryside is at its most vivid, with wildflowers and green hillsides before the summer heat sets in.

13-22°C

moderate crowdgood value

May half-term and the Easter period see elevated demand. Outside these windows, spring offers good value and comfortable conditions. Book the pool heating if you plan to swim in March or April.

summer

Recommended

jun · jul · aug

Hot and reliably sunny throughout, with July and August regularly reaching 30°C or above. Sea temperatures are warm enough for comfortable swimming from June onwards.

24-32°C

peak crowdpremium value

July and August are the busiest and most expensive weeks of the year. Book a minimum of 6 months ahead for peak summer dates. June and September offer very similar conditions at lower prices and with better availability, and are worth considering seriously as alternatives.

autumn

sep · oct · nov

September remains warm and sunny, effectively an extension of summer. October cools noticeably, with rain returning in November. The landscape takes on golden tones through October.

14-26°C

moderate crowdgood value

September is one of the best-value months to visit: conditions are almost indistinguishable from August and demand drops considerably after the French school return. October is pleasant for countryside exploration but pool use becomes less practical. November sees most coastal activity wind down.

Why we chose it

The detail most people would miss is that the ground-floor double bedroom opens directly to the garden at the same level, giving it the feel of a private suite with its own access rather than an afterthought. Experientially, Villa Vignoble occupies a quieter countryside position than most comparably priced villas in the St Tropez orbit, which trade garden space for proximity to the port. The result is a property that feels genuinely unhurried in a way that waterfront or village-adjacent rentals rarely do. It is also one of the few six-bedroom villas in the Grimaud area with confirmed adjacency to a second bookable property, giving groups of up to 25 a rare combined option without moving to a formal estate.

01The Architecture

Villa Vignoble follows the traditional Provençal mas form: solid rendered walls, timber-beamed ceilings and a low-profile footprint that sits naturally within its garden setting. The recent refurbishment has preserved the structural character of the original building while replacing the interiors with a cleaner, more contemporary finish. The property is arranged across two floors in the main house, with a self-contained…

02The Interior

The renovation has produced interiors that are light, contemporary and functional without making a strong design statement. Wooden beamed ceilings throughout the ground floor provide the primary texture, contrasting with pale walls and modern furnishings. The kitchen is described as bright and airy, equipped to a thorough standard with an American fridge-freezer, ice maker, juicer, food processor and Nespresso machine…

03The Outdoor

The outdoor space at Villa Vignoble is anchored by a 10m x 5m private pool, heated on request, with a depth range of 1.3m to 2.5m, built-in steps and a pool alarm. Sunbeds accompany the pool, and an outdoor shower and external WC are provided at poolside. The lawned gardens are generous for a countryside property of this size, with…

04The Location

Villa Vignoble sits in the countryside near Grimaud, a hilltop village five kilometres from the property and one of the more authentically Provençal settlements in the St Tropez area, with a medieval castle and weekly market. The Bay of St Tropez is the wider context: Port Grimaud, the canal-threaded waterside village modelled on Venice, is ten kilometres away. St Tropez…

05Ideal For

Villa Vignoble works best for large families or two or three families travelling together, particularly where the group includes younger children. The triple bunk room and complimentary travel cot and highchair make it genuinely child-ready. The garden annexe suits guests who want some separation from the main house. Groups seeking a design-led villa as a destination in itself may find…
