Open the blue shuttered windows of Bastide Mignonne and be greeted with the most beautiful sight of your Mediterranean garden with pines, cypresses and olive trees amongst terracotta pots of summer colour scattered on stone terraces. What’s more, this idyllic abode is located within walking distance to medieval Grimaud, one of the French Riviera’s prettiest villages and just a short drive from Saint-Tropez.
Bastide Mignonne is both elegant and authentic, sleeping up to 10 guests across its five air-conditioned bedrooms. On the ground floor, appreciate the charm of the spacious salon with its fireplace whilst the attractive kitchen-diner leads to a terrace for breakfast overlooking the garden below. Upstairs, another lounge has a Smart TV with English channels and streaming services. Sleep restfully across three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and two twins which share a bathroom, making this wonderful holiday home ideal for family or friends.
Stroll along the pretty paths in the garden admiring agapanthuses, lavender and jasmine, then follow steps down to the swimming pool which can be heated on request (for a supplement). Passing many olive trees, walk up to the vineyard and embrace your gorgeous Provençal surroundings.
This is such a picture-perfect setting with its vast grounds, and you are located just in front of the village of Grimaud, a true gem of the Côte d’Azur. Potter around the narrow flower-filled lanes with restaurants, little shops and art galleries, then gaze at the glorious views as you reach Place de l'Église before venturing to the village’s château ruins. A Provençal market takes place on a Thursday morning.
Heading towards the coast, tour the canals of Port Grimaud by boat and soak up its atmospheric markets including an especially lovely Monday evening marché nocturne in the height of the summer. Swim in the sea from palm-fringed Plage de Grimaud or catch the ferry across the bay to the family-friendly seaside resort to Sainte-Maxime.
Boats also whisk you away to Saint-Tropez, a great way to avoid the summer traffic. Experience the glamour of the former fishing village, now one of the French Riviera’s most desirable destinations. Plage de Pampelonne is also not to be missed, famed for its exclusive beach clubs and range of seasonal water sports, or you may prefer the calmer shores south of La Croix Valmer, an area loved for its stunning bays and Côtes de Provence vineyards.

The house is reached via a narrow lane (not suitable for low cars). It’s wonderful to be able to stroll to the village Grimaud via steps & an elevator to the village square. Medieval Grimaud is one of the most charming villages with its flower-filled winding lanes and pretty old houses. Climb up the hill to the ruins of Château de Grimaud for glorious views of the coastline below.
Grimaud is home to several restaurants, little shops, art galleries and a weekly Provençal market on a Thursday morning as well as other speciality markets and festivities taking place throughout the year. There is a supermarket 1.5 k m away as well as larger hypermarkets around ten minutes away by car on the other side of Cogolin and towards Saint-Tropez.
Down by the coast, Port Grimaud 7 km may come as a surprise to some – the small seaside town was created in the 20th century and exudes a certain charm with its canals, little bridges and colourful houses. Explore by boat or simply enjoy a lunch on the quayside overlooking attractive surroundings. There is a seasonal market every Sunday and Thursday morning, occasional Monday morning craft markets and a lovely marché nocturne in July and August on Monday evenings. From the marina you can catch a ferry to Saint-Tropez or across the bay towards Sainte-Maxime, a handy way to avoid the summer traffic.
Plage de Grimaud 6 km is a fantastic sandy beach backed by palm trees and beachside restaurants. Continue along the coast towards Sainte-Maxime 13 km, a family-friendly seaside resort with superb beaches, restaurants, shops and a range of activities including water-sports.
Of course, Saint-Tropez 12 km is one of the French Riviera’s most desirable destinations. Explore the old quarter with its little squares, café terraces, boutiques and bars, then admire the yachts and boats in the harbour. The twice-weekly Provençal market is great to experience – stock up on delicious local produce, then drive down to Pampelonne Beach 16 km for a picnic on the long sandy beach. That said, you may prefer Plage de Pampelonne’s exclusive beach clubs such as Le Club 55 and Nikki Beach, for example - the beach is also famed for its vast range of summer water-sports.
Other gems of the area include hilltop historic Gassin 10 km, classified as one of France’s prettiest villages, and beautiful Ramatuelle 14 km with more lovely coastal views. Snorkel off the coast near Plage de l'Escalet 18 km, an area also loved for its coastal hiking routes, or swim in the clear waters of Plage de Gigaro 16 km. Wine-enthusiasts should visit the vineyards of La Croix Valmer 11 km as well as the wine châteaux of Saint-Tropez with vineyards scattered close to Gassin, Ramatuelle and Plage de Pampelonne.
