Villa Palais is one of two magnificent Moorish villas situated right on the coast, close to St. Raphael, and approximately 40 minutes drive from both Cannes and St. Tropez. Designed and built in 1860, by the architect Chapoulard, it is one of the few listed properties on the Côte d’Azur available for rent. Together with neighbouring Villa Jardin, it is ideal as a holiday base for several families, a large group of friends, or as a venue for a celebration or other special event. The two properties share an electric security gate entrance and parking area.
Set in large and beautifully maintained gardens with palms and flowering vines, leading down to the sea, there is a heated swimming pool (10 x 5m), surrounded by a sun terrace, to the front of the villa. With direct access to the sea and rocky beach, the property has its own private port and yacht, and is perfect for sailing, waterskiing, diving and kayaking. Snorkelling equipment, kayaks and the use of three boats are available.
Most rooms have a distinctive Moorish feel, many with high vaulted ceilings, arches and tiled or parquet floors. Furnished to a very high standard, there are some antiques, Moroccan lamps and fabulous antique brass 4-poster beds. The ten bedrooms, all individually designed, have either superb sea or garden views. Bathrooms have multi-jet showers and most of the bedrooms have air conditioning. In the tower at the top of the villa, there is a large heated Jacuzzi, hammam and solarium. Further amenities include satellite television, DVD and CD player.
