Résidence Les Marronniers is a Provençal villa, situated on the Presqu'île de Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. It lies in a beautiful, unspoiled setting with a breathtaking, panoramic sea view. With its four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 175m² sun-drenched terrace, the villa comfortably sleeps 8 people.
