Villa Enamorada

A newly built villa in Ramatuelle, where contemporary design meets an art collector’s eye for detail. Every room has been considered with care, from the professional kitchen to the massage room and hammam tucked below. Set among Mediterranean gardens, the heated pool holds the sun through the day, and Pampelonne is a ten minute walk through the pines.

Six bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread generously across 440 square metres, each air conditioned and finished with king size beds and smart televisions. Two further rooms for staff sit apart, so a household team can come and go without ever crossing the flow of the house. The main living spaces gather around a fireplace, a table for fourteen, and a sound system that carries from the salon into the garden.

Outside, the grounds are as animated or as quiet as the mood asks. A petanque court, ping pong, baby foot, a plancha and a shaded lounge invite long afternoons, while the home gym and wine cellar look after the quieter pleasures. The professional kitchen means a private chef can work with real space, whether the evening calls for a family supper or a table of twelve.

This is a house built for a large group who want resort level comfort without leaving home, and who like the beach close enough to reach on foot. Arrive with plans, or with none at all. Ramatuelle village and its morning market sit just up the hill, an easy detour for provisions before the beach reclaims the afternoon. The days here have a way of filling themselves.
