Villa Elica is a fully modernised charming Provencal house in the bay of St Tropez with private pool, and is furnished to a high standard. It is set within a gated community comprising about 25 homes of which about 50% are let as holiday homes and the rest are occupied by locals. There is virtually no through traffic and free parking is available outside the house.
There are 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and it sleeps 8. The house is spacious and can comfortably accommodate 2 families. The house is fully equipped, has wireless internet, reversible air-conditioning, pretty Mediterranean gardens and lovely views. You can dine either on the front terrace or in the back garden overlooking the pool, where there is a gas barbeque. It's 900m (10 minutes walk) to beautiful sandy beaches.
It is 20 minutes walk to Port Grimaud which has a good selection of shops and waterside cafes and restaurants. It's 1 minute walk to the nearest shop and restaurant in summer, 5 minutes in winter. It's a short drive or water taxi ride to St Tropez. You can also cycle to St Tropez or St Maxine along the cycle path in about 40 minutes ( this is how long it takes us with 2 children). The house is a short drive to Grimaud ( about 10 minutes) and other picturesque hilltop villages. Whilst a car is handy it's not essential, and as well as being able to walk to the beach and the restaurants of Port Grimaud, it's 5 minutes walk to the bus stop, from which you can take a bus to St Tropez, Grimaud, St Maxine and St Raphael.
