This beautiful, south-facing stone-built villa stands within large, attractive and wooded grounds, with delightful old chestnut and cork trees and lawns surrounding the pool, offering a peaceful and tranquil setting with views to the hills. With its two wings linked by the kitchen, Villa Merline is particularly suitable for two families with children.
The pleasing interiors are elegantly furnished and spacious with a light and airy main living area with beams, tiled floor and open fire. Bordered by large sliding windows set behind stone archways, the interior opens up onto the superb terrace, with outside dining furniture, and grounds beyond. Just a few steps further you have the attractive private swimming pool and summer house with summer kitchen, shower and built-in barbecue. Merline is situated only 1.5 kilometres from the centre of the charming village of La Garde Freinet, reached by picturesque roads winding through forests of cork oaks and chestnut groves.
The small, medieval village has preserved its character with its field stone houses and its small squares and short streets with shops and restaurants. Overlooking La Garde Freinet are ruins of an old fortress evoking the last stand of the marauding Saracens. In contrast, the bright lights of the trendy and glamorous resort of St Tropez are only 16 kilometres away, with its famous beaches, restaurants and quayside cafés. There are two fabulous golf courses nearby: St Tropez/Gassin (13km) and Domaine de Beauvalon (14km).
