Villas in France with a Private Pool Near the Beach
The combination our guests ask for most is the best of both worlds: the sea for the morning, your own pool for the afternoon. Many of our beach villas are in fact villas in france with a private pool near a beach, pairing a short walk or drive to the Mediterranean with a private pool back at the house for the hours you are not on the sand. It is the ideal set-up for families with young children, who can nap and swim at home and still get their fill of the seaside.
Cote d'Azur Villa Rentals on the French Riviera
For glamour and sea views, our French villa rentals on the Cote d'Azur are hard to beat. These Riviera properties combine chic coastal towns with easy access to Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Nice. Lively summer evenings and some of the most photographed beaches in Europe. Whether you want a smart villa with sea views or a family house a few streets back from the sand, our Cote d'Azur villa rentals cover the whole stretch of the French Riviera.
Relaxed Beaches and Value in the Languedoc
If you would rather have wide open sand and better value than glamour, the Languedoc coast is hard to beat. Its long sandy beaches suit families who want space to spread out, and its villas in France near a beach come at prices well below the Riviera. Many sit within cycling distance of the sea, with room for a big group and a pool in the garden.
How Close Is the Beach, Really?
Beach distances quoted online are often optimistic, and there is nothing worse than a promised stroll that turns out to be a hot half-hour walk with buggies and beach bags. Because we vet properties ourselves, many in person, we can tell you honestly whether the beach is a genuine stroll, a 10-minute drive or somewhere in between, before you book.
