St. Tropez, Villa Semaphore – Villa Collection — CALL

Gorgeously contemporary and with spectacular views over the Mediterranean, Villa Semaphore is a magnificent nine-bedroom villa that welcomes up to 19 guests. With every amenity at your fingertips and the beauty of the French Riviera all around you, this exquisite modern villa sits in the private estate at Cap Bénat, so guests are guaranteed privacy and a restful idyll throughout their stay.

Domaine du Cap Bénat is an area of the coast reserved for only the most discerning of guests. Covering more than 160 hectares, this is a serene location where you feel like you’ve stepped into a 19th-century French watercolour. The gorgeous Provençal village of Bormes-Les-Mimosas is well worth exploring, or 15 minutes by car is the pretty town of Le Lavandou, where you'll find charming family-run restaurants serving the best French cuisine, accompanied by some outstanding local wines.

Tucked into the hillside and spread across three levels, Villa Semaphore’s cavernous open-plan layout is complemented by arched brick feature walls and uninterrupted views from the living area. The stately formal dining area is large enough to accommodate 16 diners. A professional kitchen for staff providing the Chef at Home service has everything required to create gourmet meals for guests. The villa's nine bedrooms are simply superb, each with its own décor motifs. On the entrance level are an exquisite master suite with a king-size bed and spa-standard ensuite. Lower level 1 has six sublime bedrooms, four of which have two single or one split-king depending on guests' preferences. An additional room has a small double bed, and the final bedroom on this level has an unusual round double bed and a view of the pool waterfall. Lower Level 2 houses two further bedrooms, one with a double round bed and a family room with a king-size bed and an additional single bed. All bedrooms have sumptuous ensuites with showers or soak tubs.

The list of extras at Villa Semaphore goes on and on - you couldn't wish for more from your vacation accommodation. Every refinement has been included, from a private helipad and beach to full staff support and access to a small private harbour. Tennis courts and private lessons with a professional coach can be booked through the estate. A 16m infinity pool takes pride of place on the sun terrace, and living spaces include al fresco dining options and various terraced areas. Indescribably lavish, Villa Semaphore is the perfect spot for a large group or family to relax in total seclusion and experience the French Riviera at its best.
