Sitting in the very heart of Saint Tropez, the magnificent Villa Reine offers an oasis of gracious and glorious living. With four outstanding bedroom suites, elegant living spaces and sensational outdoor space, it is a timeless place to bring generations or friends together for celebrations. Villa Reine is a brilliantly renovated 14th-century former vicarage, a period property that comes with swagger and style. It exudes charm and character, with its original turret standing proud and overlooking a wonderful walled garden. You will relax in luxurious surroundings in this smart residential area, just a few minutes’ walk from the buzzy bars and fine dining restaurants of the French Riviera’s most famous resort.
Within its ancient walls, Villa Reine is a capsule of contemporary cool with striking modern features mingling with wonderful nods from the past. Space, oversized artworks and contemporary sculptures come in lavish abundance. As guests of Villa Reine, you will also enjoy a delicious continental breakfast every day, a fantastic chef-prepared meal six days a week, champagne and other drinks which are included in the price of the villa (please see the T&Cs).
With calm natural tones, the living area of Villa Reine is elegant, tasteful and beautifully presented. It comes with exquisite furnishings, an oversized open fireplace and an excellent library of books. The whole villa has been renovated to the highest standard, and like every room, this gorgeous living space is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Guests enjoy a brilliant sound system throughout the villa, as well as smart televisions. Everywhere you look, you will discover wonderful works of art and striking design features. The winding staircase is like a work of art in itself and certainly adds the wow factor. A wall of water forms a backdrop for the sophisticated and slightly quirky dining area, and the turret adds a whole lot of magic. The villa also comes with a smart wine cellar, an office space and a chef’s dream of a kitchen which boasts the very best of appliances.
Villa Reine boasts four dreamy bedroom suites, two of which are located on the ground floor with independent access from the garden, one sits at the top of the turret with heavenly views of Saint Tropez, and the master comes with its own hammam and dressing room. Eight guests will dive deep into some serious shut-eye with crisp linens and luxury duvets on the beds. Every bedroom enjoys its own styling. The two ground-floor bedrooms come with gorgeous calm tones and very attractive beamed ceilings. The turret room is thoroughly romantic, and the master enjoys a wooden feature wall and some unique furnishings.
The heart of Villa Reine is its peaceful, pretty walled garden. It is hard to believe that this magical, serene garden sits in the centre of Saint Tropez. You can relax on one of the shaded terraces listening to the fountain trickling into the villa’s original well or head to the pool house bar for a glass of your favourite tipple. The bar comes with its own fridge, ice machine and coffee machine. The fantastic mirror edge pool is made of natural stone and is perfect for a dip to cool off. You will discover gorgeous pergolas with ancient olive trees winding their knotty stems and vibrant bougainvillaea clinging, lush lawns, and towering trees framing this wonderful picture.Villa Reine enjoys a prestigious location in the centre of Saint Tropez. Sitting in a smart, exclusive residential area, it offers calm, luxury and elegance, just minutes from the very best restaurants and bars that will blow your mind.  Saint Tropez came to fame in the 1950s with Brigitte Bardot starring in the 1956 ‘And God Created Woman’. Overnight, Saint Tropez became a sizzling jet-set playground. In low season, the town still enjoys its mesmerising quaint beauty, and visitors meander its cobbled lanes in the old fishing quarter of La Ponche, sip pastis in charming cafes, watch old men playing petanque beneath plane trees and walk slowly along the coastal paths. The picturesque peninsula boasts beautiful olive groves and rugged coastal hikes and is now home to exclusive beach clubs, hipster bars and megabucks yachts. A five-kilometre stretch of picture postcard sand sits between the glistening Mediterranean Sea and dreamy dunes.
Saint Tropez is a shopper’s paradise, packed with trendy boutiques. The streets around Rue Gambetta and Rue Allard are sprinkled with shoe shops, chocolate shops, boutiques, antique emporiums and art galleries. If you visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning, you will be treated to wonderful open-air stalls at Place des Lices where you can stock up on freshly baked bread and delicious local produce. Fine wine is big in Saint Tropez. Chateau Barbeyrolles is one of the best vineyards in the village of Gassin. Red and white wines have been added to their delicious rose wines, and visitors can taste and buy wines every day except Sundays.  The peninsula is home to numerous charming villages as well as a fantastic national park that you should explore. La Croix Valmer, in the heart of the Saint Tropez peninsula, is a jewel of nature nestled in the national park, an area known for its walking, cycling and mountain bike paths, its scenic landscapes, amazing fauna and flora, breathtaking views, lively Sunday market and its surrounding vineyards. La Croix Valmer boasts two of the three caps of the Saint Tropez peninsula. Cap Lardier is the most wooded of the caps, and Cap Taillat sits between Cap Lardier and Cap Camarat, the third of the caps. The village of La Croix Valmer also enjoys a history closely linked to the wine industry. Its weekly market is one of the most famous in the Gulf of Saint Tropez and a brilliant place to pick up local produce and wine for Villa Reine.
The picturesque villages of Gassin and Ramatuelle are also wonderful, with far-reaching sensational views. The historic village of Gassin, known as a ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’ and a destination of culture and walking, is perched high in the hills enjoying a fabulous medieval terrace, the Promenade De Barri, which offers exceptional views as well as some wonderful restaurants, an unbeatable spot for lunch. You should look out for the street called l’Androuno, which claims to be the narrowest street in the world. The new town of Gassin, designed by Francois Spoerry, has been built below the medieval village and was awarded a prize for the best new town in Europe. The lovely Port Grimaud is reminiscent of Venice. At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
