Provençal villa on Mas de Gigaro for rent
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.
“We came at the end of April when it is not too hot. We used the villa as a base to explore the area on the south coast. We went on day trips to Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Toulon, Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence.”
