Why stay in the Côte d'Azur hinterland?
Located in the peaceful Pays de Fayence, Villa Terre d'Azur offers the perfect combination of authentic Provence, beautiful hilltop villages and easy access to the beaches of the Côte d'Azur, away from the crowds.
Saint-Paul-en-Forêt is a peaceful village in the heart of the Pays de Fayence, a commune in the Var, part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in the South of France. This beautiful area combines the charm of authentic Provençal villages, yet nearby the famous beaches and coastal towns of the Côte d'Azur, including Fréjus, St-Tropez, Saint-Raphaël and Cannes.
The Pays de Fayence is known for its picturesque “perched villages” overlooking the valley between the southern Alps and the Esterel mountains. The medieval villages are famous for their elevated position, historic streets and breathtaking panoramic views.
Thanks to its central location, Saint-Paul-en-Forêt is the perfect base for exploring Provence and the Côte d’Azur. The surrounding area offers a wide variety of activities for families, couples and groups of friends. The beautiful Lac de Saint-Cassien, located about 20 minutes from Villa Terre d'Azur, is ideal for swimming, fishing and water sports, as well as walking, buggy ride or horse ride and enjoying nature. Other highlights nearby include Grasse, the world capital of perfume, and Monaco, which makes a wonderful day trip.
Hiking and cycling are increasingly popular, with dedicated trails mostly following the small roads, paths and forested areas. All of these have spectacular views.
The region is home to some of the most charming Provençal villages, including Tourrettes, Callian and Seillans, officially recognised as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”. Wander through narrow historic streets, discover local markets, enjoy traditional restaurants and experience the authentic flavours of Provence.
With its sunny climate, long warm summers and mild winters, Villa Terre d'Azur is a wonderful destination throughout the year — offering the perfect combination of nature, culture, relaxation and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
