The Côte D'Azur region is situated in the southeastern corner of France, and is dominated by the Mediterranean coastline. World-renowned for its spectacular beaches, picturesque seaside villages and bustling ports, this region is not to be missed. Our luxurious villas in St Tropez provide you with a chance to soak in the unique atmosphere of this busy town. For a more relaxed Côte D'Azur holiday, there is accommodation available in the numerous small villages that line this beautiful coastline. These villages provide a sometimes welcome relief from the crowds of tourists, and it is well worth taking the time to discover them. One such town is Bormes-les-Mimosas; a village perched atop a steep hill, centred around a medieval castle.

While staying in the comfort of your Côte D'Azur villa you can experience the Mediterranean lifestyle. Bask in the sun on sun-drenched beaches, explore the national parks, and try out some water-sports. Not to be missed are the calanques of Cassis, hidden beaches set among cliffs and a national park. Only accessible on foot or by boat, these are a good chance to escape the crowds and relax in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Make your Côte D'Azur villa your home base while you discover the history and architecture surrounding this region. Antibes is a popular destination, with 17th century ramparts, a 12th century chateau, the Picasso museum, and the Church of the Immaculate Conception. For a quieter visit, St Raphael boasts an archeological museum and an old port and church. Other main cities to visit on your Côte D'Azur holiday are Nice and Cannes. Get a taste for the arts in Nice, browse the fine arts and Chagall museums, stroll down the Promenade des Anglais and of course enjoy the beaches. Cannes is home to the famous Cannes Film festival among other festivals. Aside from the beaches, there is a casino and the historical Castre museum.

No Côte D'Azur holiday would be complete without tasting the distinctive cuisine. A Mediterranean influence adds spice to the food, which consists largely of seafood given the region's proximity to the coast. Be sure to try the deliciously sweet Tarte tropezienne, a regional speciality.
