Location:
The villa is situated in ‘Domaine de la Vallee’, a beautiful development of villas covering a hillside bordering the coastline at Gigaro. Gigaro is in the Commune of ‘La Croix-Valmer’, a village 5 mins by car which has everything for day-to-day needs and a provencal market on Sundays. Gigaro is on the Sentier du Littoral and the commune stretches from Gigaro to Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat, an area of outstanding natural beauty preserved by the French Littoral Conservation Society. The villa is 800m from Gigaro beach, a 6 km stretch of beach with several nice restaurants and areas where beds and parasols can be hired daily. There are many sports available and a sailing school operates from the Plage du Debarquement nearby. Boats go to the Iles d’Or or Poquerolles from June onwards. These islands are well worth a visit and Port Cros is a designated National Park. The legendary ‘Man in the Iron Mask’ was supposed to be imprisoned there.
