Villa Soliere | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Hyeres

The Toulon bay stretches beneath you from sunrise to sunset at Villa Soliere, a four-bedroom Mediterranean retreat positioned on the Côte d’Azur coastline where the oldest marine park in Europe meets private hillside living. Eight guests find themselves suspended between pinewood forests and crystal waters, with panoramic views extending across to the Island of Porquerolles. This is a luxury villa rental on the French Riviera that demands you abandon your schedule entirely.

Inside Villa Soliere

Villa Soliere sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across two distinct living levels that function almost as separate homes. The architecture itself shapes how you inhabit the space—split vertically rather than room by room—allowing families and friend groups to spread out without losing connection.

The upper floor commands the main social hub. One hundred square meters of open-plan living spills across this level, anchored by a striking glass rotunda that creates the optical illusion of standing aboard a ship’s bridge. A suspended fireplace floats within the room itself, contributing to this nautical sensation without walls to ground it. Large windows wrap three sides, each framing the coastline differently depending on the light. The master bedroom occupies the fourth corner—a queen-size sanctuary (160cm x 200cm) with a freestanding bathtub positioned to capture morning light, complemented by a spacious shower room equipped with multi-jet functions. Air-conditioning throughout ensures restful sleep during summer months. Electric shutters with mosquito netting seal out heat while preserving views.

Dining flexibility is built into this level: an expandable table seats six to ten within the living area, while a second dining configuration on the wooden terrace accommodates the same count, ideal for meals that transition from breakfast to lunch to aperitifs without moving locations. The kitchen stretches across the upper floor’s eastern aspect—fully equipped for serious cooking, with a five-meter bay window that dissolves the boundary between interior workspace and exterior terrace. An ethernet port near the office zone acknowledges that not all guests are on holiday from work.

Descend to the lower floor and the character shifts. This level feels like a complementary residence: a second kitchen-lounge combination opens onto an alternative veranda that captures southern exposure. Three additional bedrooms radiate from this central gathering space, each with distinct character and bed configurations. The ensuite bedroom features a queen-size bed (160cm x 200cm) with an attached shower room containing full jet functionality and direct ensuite access. The parrot bedroom—named for local decorative touches—contains a double bed (140cm x 190cm), while the sailboat bedroom offers twin beds (90cm x 190cm each) that reconfigure into a king-size option. All three lower bedrooms include blackout electric shutters, air-conditioning, and mosquito netting on key windows. Two independent bathrooms serve these bedrooms: one with a walk-in shower featuring large fixtures; the other housing a freestanding bathtub. The fourth bedroom functions as both sleeping quarters and office, with a small sofa bed supplementing the main sleeping arrangement and a multi-jet ensuite shower.

Every bedroom delivers unobstructed sea views. Every bathroom includes climate control and light-blocking capability. The villa’s infrastructure supports remote work, modern family life, and the occasional guest who can’t fully unplug.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds transform the villa from residence into compound. A heated saltwater swimming pool dominates the central garden, surrounded by professional-grade sun loungers and wooden terraces. The water temperature adjusts seasonally, extending the swimming season well beyond summer months. Adjacent to the pool sits a five-person hot tub with chromotherapy lighting and massage jets—the kind of addition that turns evening soaks into wind-down ritual rather than casual luxury.

An outdoor hot shower stands between pool and terrace, perfect for the moment between water and lounging. A hammock sways between sturdy supports, positioned to capture afternoon shade under the pines. A large shaded dining area beneath a sprawling pine tree creates a naturally sheltered space for meals, while multiple wooden decks at different elevations suggest different moods: one for morning coffee, another for sunset aperitifs, a third for afternoon reading.

The landscaping avoids generic resort aesthetic—Mediterranean plants including cacti, drought-tolerant shrubs, and native grasses frame the property. Three dedicated parking spaces accommodate the Tesla Wall Connector with Type 2 socket, compatible with all recent electric vehicles. The gardens don’t overwhelm; they frame the water views rather than obstruct them.

Location: Hyères and the Surrounding Area

Villa Soliere occupies the coastline between Port-Cros National Park—Europe’s oldest marine reserve, established in 1963—and the town of Hyères, positioning guests at an intersection of natural protection and cultural access. The Toulon bay extends northward, while eastward lies the Gien peninsula with its rocky coves and protected salt marshes where wild flamingos gather seasonally.

Almanarre beach lies 10 kilometers south, celebrated as France’s premier windsurfing and kitesurfing destination with consistent thermal winds and a long sandy approach. Carqueiranne, slightly further east, attracts year-round swimmers to calmer waters. The salt marshes near Almanarre function as a nature reserve, accessible via viewpoints and hides for birdwatching—particularly rewarding during spring and autumn migrations.

Hyères town center sits 8 kilometers away, home to morning markets in the old quarter that trade in Provençal vegetables, fresh fish, herbs, and prepared regional dishes. A bakery accessible via electric bike (45-minute walk alternatively) serves traditional pastries and baguettes. Toulon, 20 kilometers northwest, operates as the regional hub—France’s fourth-largest Mediterranean city, historically renowned for naval construction and fishing, now equally famous for wine production. The surrounding vineyards offer tastings year-round, though September through October captures harvest season energy. Toulon’s harbor stretches along the waterfront for strolling and restaurant dining.

Olbia, 10 kilometers away, preserves an ancient Greek fortress dating thousands of years. Families explore excavated ruins imagining Hellenistic life while archaeologists continue seasonal work. Saint-Baume National Park, roughly 30 kilometers inland to the north, presents dramatic limestone cliffs, beech forests, and marked hiking trails suitable for various fitness levels. The medieval town of Hyères itself rewards afternoon wandering—narrow streets, historic architecture, and local galleries.

Porquerolles Island, accessible via ferry from nearby harbors in 10-15 minutes, showcases Villa Carmignac—a contemporary art museum occupying a preserved natural setting. The island itself, car-free and pine-covered, offers a day trip into a different rhythm entirely. Further afield, Saint-Tropez lies 60 kilometers west (approximately 1 hour driving), while Cannes extends 90 kilometers further along the coast (approximately 1.5 hours). Marseille, 80 kilometers west, offers kayak tours of calanque coves and island explorations.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families benefit from the split-level layout: grandparents occupy the master suite with integrated spa amenities while adult children supervise younger guests on the pool level, maintaining proximity without constant oversight. The four-bedroom capacity with convertible twin beds accommodates groups expanding and contracting seasonally.

Professional groups requiring workspace (the ethernet port and office setup signal intentional work accommodation) use Villa Soliere for working retreats where morning conference calls precede afternoon swimming. Friends traveling together appreciate the distinct social zones—intimate cocktail hour on one terrace, dinner gathering on another, quiet reading in the hammock, active swimming at the pool.

Couples seeking luxury seclusion find the master bedroom’s integration of bathtub and sea view creates genuinely intimate space. The lower-floor alternative kitchen-lounge means visiting family members or friends don’t disrupt core couple space.

Families with children aged 4+ navigate the heated pool safely; younger children have space to play securely on terraced grounds surrounded by plants rather than exposed cliffs. Teenagers appreciate independent lower-level access and entertainment options (pool, hot tub, hammock, distinct living area) without constant adult supervision.
