Welcome

Welcome to L’Eclaircie, our little slice of heaven nestled in the hills 25 minutes drive from St Tropez.

We searched for our dream house for years and feel we have finally found it.

We have 5 teenage children so our brief was:

Somewhere within walking distance of a lively village and yet not within sight of other houses.
A breath-taking view.
Five double bedrooms (and one bunk bed room).
Large heated pool.
Plenty of land (L’Eclaircie is set in 2 hectares of cork oaks and pine trees)
An easy drive to beaches and watersports.
An easy drive to nightlife for the teenagers.
Beautiful Provencal villages nearby with markets.
Local vineyards with delicious rosés.
Picturesque walks direct from the villa for our dog.

Luckily for us, we found a house that ticked all those boxes and we hope you will enjoy L’Eclaircie as much as we

do!

Happy Guests

Lovely house in a lovely location

5/5

Roland H. London

This is a lovely spacious house with a spectacular view in a secluded quiet location. There are four sitting / eating areas depending on weather and time of day - in full sunshine on the terrace overlooking the pool, under a shady awning next to the kitchen, in the sitting / dining room indoors, and in the kitchen itself. We used all of them!

Nearby, there is something for everyone, including a skate park for the teenagers, a fine dining restaurant (Chez Bruno - truffles with everything), St.Tropez for the chic, Monaco for the minted, and a ruined castle in Grimaud for historyphiles.

We loved it.

Stunning location and sumptuous retreat

We stayed for a week in early September. It has recently had new owners who have clearly re-furnished it and have done so beautifully. The property is very secluded and set on the side of the hill, yet less than a 10 minute walk to the heart of the lovely village of Le Garde Freinet where there are many good restaurants. The view from our ground floor ensuite bedroom at L'Eclaircie was stunning - with Grimaud Castle in the near distance and Gassin afar. On a good run, St Tropez is only about 25 minutes away. The main living room is very large and impressive with a double height ceiling, sizeable stone fireplace as the focal point, and 3 extremely comfortable sofas where our party could relax after dinner. The swimming pool is large and well maintained and itself looks out toward Grimaud. We had a wonderful time at L'Eclaircie and hope to return next year.

A great Cote d'Azur treat!

As its name goes, « L’Eclaircie », hidden in a wood of cork oaks, offers stunning views over the unspoiled Massif des Maures towards the sea.

We had a wonderful time there in August 2016, for a break that was way too short : kids having fun in the large pool, walks to the nearby charming village with nice shops and overlooking castle ruins, a short drive to the beach, and best of all long evenings sipping local wine on the terrace, watching the sunset in these clear, deep blue skies that you only get on the Méditerranée, followed by a star-gazing session. The house itself has been recently redecorated. It is very chic and extremely comfortable for a large party. Highly recommended.

Perfect Paradise!

Perfect paradise! This beautiful spacious home has unparalleled stunning views of the surrounding countryside, truly comfortable en suite bedrooms and a lovely south facing terrace along the length of the house for dining and relaxing in the peaceful fresh air. Lovely pool and inviting local village within easy walking distance with an excellent wine shop, bakeries and other local products on offer. We would recommend it to all our friends who seek a short drive to local beaches and secluded luxury at home!
