Villa Marie, Cote d'Azur, France

Nestled in a 7-acre pine forest overlooking Saint-Tropez, Villa Marie is a 5 star, luxury hotel in the style of an Italian villa.

The immaculate grounds hide bubbling, refreshing spring water, and are dotted with inner courtyards and terraces.  The luxury villa offers 45 rooms and suites, a restaurant with a southern feel and views over the Bay of Pampelonne plus the lagoon pool... welcome to a haven of greenery with the turquoise sea as backdrop.

Resembling a chic private house rather than a hotel, Villa Marie sits tucked behind imposing gates on a pine-covered hillside just outside the village of Ramatuelle. Situated in lovely gardens full of flowering shrubs and fruit trees, the hotel provides stunning sea views across the countryside to Pampelonne Bay, a spa, an inviting pool and delicious Mediterranean cuisine.

The interior design at Villa Marie is exquisite with pretty painted furniture and a tasteful blend of white with pastel or grey shades. Wrought-iron beds, billowing fabrics and delightful objets d’art throughout create a smart yet cosy ambiance.
Sit on the patio with the scent of lavender and wisteria in the air and a cup of coffee at hand. Then, visit the spa for a sugar and honey body scrub and emerge feeling revitalised and ready for a trip to nearby St Tropez. Return to Villa Marie to dine al fresco on the restaurant terrace for an à la carte dinner.
