Villa Renoir | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in LA SEYNE-SUR-MER

Ten guests. Five bedrooms. One coastline that commands your full attention from the moment you arrive at Villa Renoir in LA SEYNE-SUR-MER on France’s fabled Côte d’Azur. Positioned directly above the Mediterranean on the Var department’s most coveted stretch of waterfront, this 19th-century property combines Belle Époque architectural drama with 21st-century comfort, offering precisely the kind of luxury villa rental La Seyne-sur-Mer visitors seek when escaping to the French Riviera.

Inside Villa Renoir

Villa Renoir sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms across its sprawling 600-square-metre interior. This is not a property that makes you choose between space and character—it delivers both.

The main lounge occupies 60 square metres of south-facing real estate, its windows framing uninterrupted sea vistas. Adjacent sits a dining room configured for ten, anchoring the entertaining heart of the villa. The professional kitchen—fully equipped with modern appliances—opens onto a 25-square-metre garden lounge that blurs the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. For groups planning celebrations or formal gatherings, there’s a dedicated 85-square-metre events and reception space that transforms the entire ground floor into a venue.

The master bedroom sets the tone for the property’s understated luxury: a king-size bed (180cm), a marble-clad ensuite featuring a freestanding bath, a separate shower enclosure, a private WC, and crucially, a terrace that captures the sea’s entire horizon. Four additional queen bedrooms (each 160cm) are distributed across the villa’s various levels, each with its own ensuite bathroom. One opens directly onto the garden and pool area—ideal for families with young children or guests who want immediate access to outdoor spaces. Another commands an unobstructed sea view through a full-length window. A third features a small terrace with southwesterly exposure. The fourth overlooks the landscaped gardens. Every bedroom has either shower or bath facilities with separate WC access.

Practical amenities include air-conditioning throughout, a full-service lift serving all floors, Wi-Fi internet, and a fully-equipped gymnasium with resistance machines, free weights, mats and bands. Entertainment options span table tennis, billiards, and table football for groups who enjoy friendly competition on rainy afternoons.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The villa commands 4,000 square metres of landscaped grounds—territory enough that every guest can find solitude or gather depending on the day’s temperament. The centerpiece is a heated infinity pool measuring 12 metres by 5 metres, positioned to capture morning and afternoon light while gazing southward toward the Mediterranean. An alarm system ensures safety. The pool’s thermal system operates year-round, extending the swimming season well into autumn.

Terracing at multiple levels connects the property’s zones through gentle steps and planted walkways. A dedicated pétanque court accommodates the Provençal tradition—the gentle click of boules against stone becomes the soundtrack to aperitif hour. Olive and yucca trees dot the grounds, their silvery foliage catching the sea breeze. From the upper terraces, the sound of water against rock carries upward in the afternoons. By evening, the scent of Mediterranean herbs—thyme, rosemary, lavender—saturates the air as the sun descends beyond Cap Sicie.

A garden lounge tucked into the landscaping provides shelter when the mistral wind picks up, while broader terraces accommodate loungers, dining furniture, and the kind of late-night conversations that only happen when surrounded by salt air and starlight.

Location: LA SEYNE-SUR-MER and the Surrounding Area

Villa Renoir sits 4 kilometres from LA SEYNE-SUR-MER’s historic harbour district and 20 kilometres west of Toulon, anchoring you squarely within the Var’s most characterful corner of the French Riviera.

A 300-metre walk downhill leads to a long sandy beach backed by restaurants and cafés—this is where locals take their morning coffee facing the water. The promenade hosts atmospheric evening markets throughout July and August, selling everything from local produce to handmade crafts. Further along the shore lies a shaded park with Mediterranean plantings, koi ponds, and children’s play areas beneath mature pines. For the more adventurous, a rocky coastal path descends to intimate pebbly coves and transparent waters ideal for snorkelling; a nearby beachside restaurant serves fresh seafood lunch directly above the rocks.

LA SEYNE-SUR-MER itself (4km away) retains authentic maritime character: the morning fish market at the quayside is a sensory experience, narrow lanes reveal belle-époque villas and pastel-coloured townhouses, and the Tamaris corniche showcases elegant 19th-century architecture. Just northeast, Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer adds dramatic coastal trails, scuba-diving operations, and additional swimming coves. West toward Cap Sície lies the Janas forest—10,000 hectares of protected woodland crossed by mountain-biking routes, hiking paths and horse-riding circuits.

Toulon (10km northeast) functions as the region’s cultural anchor: the historic harbour, the grand Place de la Liberté, the Musée de la Marine tracking centuries of naval history, and the Mont Faron cable car (which ascends 542 metres for views extending across the entire Hyères archipelago). A 45-minute ferry connects to Île de Porquerolles, where sandy beaches and nature trails rival Corsica without the ferry drama.

Markets worth the short drive: Sanary-sur-Mer (9km, wine region specialities), Six-Fours-Les-Plages (8km, Provençal pottery), Ollioules (12km, olive oil and crafts), and Hyères (20km, the largest Côte d’Azur market on Saturdays). Late July through August brings vide-greniers (French garage sales) and nocturnes (night markets) across the department.

What is the best time of year to rent Villa Renoir?

April and October suit those seeking solitude and lower rates; water temperatures drop to 16-18°C, making the heated pool essential.

The mistral wind (strong northwesterly) typically peaks February through March.
