Villa Miura occupies a privileged position in Saint-Tropez, the peninsula that juts into the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and which, more than any other place on the French Riviera, seems to distill the pleasure of Mediterranean living into its purest and most concentrated form. Named for one of the most powerful and celebrated breeds in the world, Villa Miura is a property of strength and beauty, offering its guests a private swimming pool, a garden of considerable charm, and the full suite of services that a great Riviera villa requires to deliver an experience worthy of its location, and is available to book through The Luxury Rental.

The villa has been designed with the confidence that comes from a deep understanding of the Tropezien aesthetic. Interiors are generous, beautifully lit, and furnished with the kind of restrained luxury that the South of France demands: quality materials, fine linens, and an attention to detail that extends from the proportions of the reception rooms to the texture of the towels by the pool. Bedrooms provide genuine sanctuary, with natural light managed thoughtfully and materials selected to create spaces that are simultaneously beautiful and deeply comfortable.

The garden and pool terrace form the heart of outdoor life at Villa Miura. The pool, surrounded by a well-designed terrace with both sun and shade available throughout the day, provides the central rhythm around which a summer stay at a great Mediterranean villa naturally organizes itself. Morning swims, long lunches under a pergola, afternoon hours stretched across a lounger with a book and a glass of pale Provencal rose, and evening aperitifs as the light in the garden shifts from gold to amber: this is the Villa Miura day, and it is a good one. The garden has been planted and tended with an understanding of the Var landscape, its mature trees and mediterranean plantings providing both beauty and practical shade.

Housekeeping and private chef services are provided throughout the stay. The chef brings to Villa Miura the considerable resources of the local market: the fresh fish of the Var coast, the season’s best vegetables from the Provencal interior, the cheeses and charcuterie of the region, and the wines of the Cotes de Provence that have made the rose of this appellation famous on every terrace from Monaco to Manhattan. Meals here are as much a part of the Saint-Tropez experience as the beach and the port.

Saint-Tropez offers an abundance of pleasure for guests who venture beyond the villa: the beaches of Pampelonne, the lanes of the old town, the market on the Place des Lices, the Annonciade Museum, and the harbor view from the Citadelle at dusk. For guests who prefer a quieter Saint-Tropez experience, the town is also full of hidden corners, small galleries, and family-run restaurants that have nothing to do with the high-season crowds and everything to do with the quality of life that the peninsula has always offered to those who know how to find it.

The Luxury Rental is honored to present Villa Miura as part of its collection of exceptional private properties on the French Riviera, and invites enquiry for any dates throughout the season.
