Luxury villa near Saint Tropez, Swimming Pool, Big Garden Super sea view, 220m2

The villa itself was stunning with gorgeous views and a private location - a perfect getaway from a busy London. The town of Cavalaire is 2.5km down a fairly steep hill however and a shuttle bus that runs 2/3 of the way up the hill stops running at 6pm (leaving town). There is a later bus (finishes running at 11pm), but it only goes 1/3 of the way up the hill. Not a problem if you have a dedicated driver, but if you have a party of adults and want to spend the evening in town, it is a trek up the hill at the end of the day. We did find a couple of taxi numbers at the end of our stay but didn't try any out but did leave the flyers in the villa for following guests.

The beds were a little hard and creaked loudly, and could do with extra pillows for ideal UK comfort - more than one pillow per person for me at least! :) There were no beach/pool towels provided, only bathroom ones, just for awareness. There is no air conditioning in the fourth bedroom (twin) but it is north facing so a bit cooler than the rest of the house. Air conditioning in the remainder of the villa worked brilliantly.

The kitchen was well equipped and a nice welcome bottle of wine and water greeted us on arrival. Cavalaire was a busy beach town with plenty of restaurants to choose from for an evening meal For more Provencal type feel, Cogolin was beautiful and a definite recommend for a visit.

We had a great stay for our two week visit, with 2 adults and 4 teenagers. Thank you Werner for your quick replies to my various questions, and for providing such a lovely villa and location.

This villa is a true gem, sited high above the lively town of Cavalaire sur Mer, with its long sandy beach, restaurants, shops and ridiculously good weekly market; it is a calm, peaceful retreat. Set in its own large, fully fenced grounds it is a marvellous place to unwind and relax amongst the oaks and flowering shrubs but also a great location to explore the dramatic coastline from rugged Rayol to sophisticated St Tropez and the many castellated hill towns inland. The villa is not overlooked and is completely private, the grounds are tended by a very discreet gardener based in the town, so very handy if any problems occur. We were welcomed by the villa’s charming owner, who is also the architect responsible for the design and refit of this ancient Mas. He has done a fine job, the interiors being stylish, modern and also practical and comfortable. The description is accurate if a little modest, the wide and active views are truly stupendous, with sun on the whole plot during our stay in June, from dawn until 6pm. It has all the equipment one could need, the bed we used was comfortable and a generous size and the wifi good throughout the house. Make sure you hire a boat or at least take a trip out to the golden Iles, we especially enjoyed hikes in the oak and chestnut wooded Maures, beside the beautiful calanques, beaches and pine forests along the coast at Gigaro. We had a wonderful stay at Le Mas du Rigaud, felt very much at home and look forward to our next visit.

J'ai rarement assisté à un tel niveau de prestations ! Le prix demandé est plus que correct au regard de ce qui est proposé: la maison est magnifiquement rénovée, chaque chambre (4) a sa propre salle de bain + tv ce qui fait qu'on ne se marche jamais dessus, la vue est à couper le souffle et le calme qui règne dans l'immense propriété de 18'000 m^2 est hallucinant.

Werner est au petit soin et très réactif ! Ne manque qu'un terrain de pétanque :) A recommander les yeux fermés, impossible d'être déçu ! Merci pour tout !

Super maison, super piscine, super emplacement, super terrain. Nous avons passé deux semaines magnifiques. La maison est tres bien équipée, très bien entretenue. C’est le calme absolu au mileu d’une flore incroyable. La vue est à couper le souffle.

Le propriétaire est très disponible ainsi que la dame qui nous accueille.

Je recommande sans hésitation cette maison.

Le Mas du Rigaud ist ein traumhaftes Domizil oberhalb von Cavalaire. Jedes Zimmer ist schön und stilvoll eingerichtet, der Pool war herrlich warm und der Blick ist wunderschön. Jedes Bild in der Anzeige entspricht der Wirklichkeit. Das Haus war sauber und gepflegt als wir ankamen, die Hausdame war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, auch wenn mal später eine Frage war. Der Vermieter war schon vor der Buchung sehr bemüht und hatte auch auf spezielle Fragen eine schnelle Reaktion und ehrliche Antworten. Wir würden das Haus jedem empfehlen, der es pfleglich behandelt, denn wir wollen wieder kommen und zwar bald.
