Villa Joya: A Stunning, elegant villa in private grounds with heated pool

A haven of peace and tranquillity within easy reach of the Gulf of St Tropez, Villa Joya is an idyllic Provencal villa furnished to a very high standard, which successfully blends the charm of the Mediterranean with all the requirements of contemporary living.

Situated within spacious, secluded grounds and accessed through remote control electric gates for your security and privacy; beautiful orchard tree-lined gardens frame the 10m heated swimming pool and expansive sun terrace, whilst vineyard vistas set against the magnificent backdrop of the Massif de Maures provide the perfect ambiance to relax with family and friends. Why not enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif in the oak-beamed poolside lounge and then dine al fresco under a canopy of grapevines and wisteria… or spend the evening at the poolside bar and cook in the wood fired pizza oven, or on the Australian BBQ and French Plancher?

Villa Joya is equipped with all modern appliances, including washing machine, freezer and dishwasher. Media is covered with Sky+ HD and European TV channels, broadband WiFi access (full fibre) and a Sonos Play:1 sound system.

Just minutes drive into the charming village of Plan De La Tour & 10 minutes to Ste Maxime, Villa Joya is within easy access of St Tropez’s chic restaurants, popular beaches and the many surrounding attractions of the Cote D'Azur.

Awesome villa near St. Maxime

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely villa. Andrew was a great host who went out of his way to make our stay most enjoyable. He also offered useful suggestions on what do to on our visit to the St Tropez area. The villa was well stocked. We enjoyed the beautiful patio, pool and pool bar. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful holiday

A beautiful villa. Excellent amenities. Well stocked kitchen, beautiful pool, gardens and separate outdoor catering area for those breakfast pancakes, crepes, barbecue and pizza. The owners were very welcoming and most helpful and approachable. Village outskirts location very handy for bakery and vineyard. Large supermarket not far away. Short trip to Ste Maxime and then onto Ste Tropez by boat. Lovely.

Lovely Villa, great location and excellent hosts

We had a lovely time at Villa Joya with our family of 2 adults and 4 children (all teens). The villa is spacious, the pool is large and the outdoor kitchen is terrific (Pizza Oven and BBQ were often used in the three weeks we were there). The villa is a short driving distance away from the centre of the charming village of Plan de la Tour with a number of really good restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops. St Maxime is only 15 minutes away with access to the beaches and a wide variety of restaurants, markets and shops. The hosts were very helpful before and during our stay, offering tips and advice on where to go for great meals. A really nice time was had by all of us. Thanks again Andrew and Emma.

Beautiful villa in a very nice area

The villa Joya is a fantastic place to relax, have fun and to feel comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped, the villa has enough space in each single room, lovely bathrooms and a big garden with a summer kitchen, we enjoyed very much to make our own pizza in the wooden fired oven and the BBQ as well as sitting outside with a glas of wine and enjoying the evenings. The pool is outstanding and big enough for our daily early morning swimming exercises. We want not forget to mention Andrew, the owner of the villa, who takes great care of his guests, always answers questions immediately and helps us out with a lot of recommendations of restaurants and places to be. We will come back, for sure!

Villa Joya

A superb traditional villa which has been tastefully modernised in parts but retaining many of its original features. The villa is spacious and is fully equipped to provide for all our needs. The standout features of this villa which separates from most alternatives is the outstanding pool and gardens which include a novel external kitchen area with its own bar which is also fully equipped and heightens the enjoyment of outdoor living. Ambience at nightime is further enhanced by the excellent external lighting system. The owner, Andrew, was exceptionally helpful in answering all questions immediately and the local contact, Paul, was constantly on hand and went to great efforts to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Le Plan de la Tour is an ideal base to discover the area and the village itself is delightful and provides for most needs including shops, a couple of small supermarkets, bars, restaurants and a lively market on Thursday.

Gemütliches Haus in den Weinbergen der Provence

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Villa Joya sehr genossen. Das Grundstück bietet viel Platz und unser persönliches Highlight waren der sehr schöne große Pool und das Poolhäuschen mit Barbereich und Steinofen. Einfach herrlich, dort frische Pizza bei schöner Abendbeleuchtung zu genießen. Und wer zu dieser Zeit das Handy nicht weglegen kann, empfängt überall super WLAN. Bei Fragen war Andrew stets sehr schnell zu erreichen und als wir Hilfe vor Ort benötigten, war Paul sehr schnell da. Die Möblierung ist nicht so vornehm, dass man sich im Haus nicht zu bewegen traut. Die von zu Hause mitgebrachten Pfannen und Messer brauchten wir nicht auszupacken, das Equipment in der Küche war einfach super. Ein rundherum gelungener Aufenthalt in Le Plan-de-la-Tour

Alles in allem noch okay

Viel Platz als Familie mit 6 Personen und Hunden. Toller Pool, Aussenbereich und Küche/Bar am Pool. Pizzaofen bei der Poolbar einfach toll um mal selbst eine Holzofenpizza zu machen. Mobiliar sollte dringend mal ersetzt oder repariert werden, wirkt doch schon sehr abgewohnt. Bäder sind gut fotografiert, fallen dann ausser im Elternschlafzimmer (mit Glasscheibe abgetrennt) doch schon sehr klein aus für eine Villa. In der Zeit unseres Aufenthalts war leider sehr viel Bautätigkeit in der Nachbarschaft mit LKW Verkehr und Baggerbetrieb. Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war immer gut und freundlich. Größter Kritikpunkt ist die Sauberkeit, gerade in der Küche wurde nicht wirklich so geputzt wie wir das erwartet hatten. ( Kühlschrank, Arbeitsplatte, Brotschrank und Microwelle waren stark verschmutzt) Wir haben dann selbst geputzt da wir keine Störungen durch Nachbesserungsarbeiten in unseren Ferien wollten.

A perfect Villa and thoroughly enjoyable holiday

My family (4 adults, 1 10-month old) thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Villa Joya in June. The house is ideally located just a few minutes drive from the local village which has plenty to offer, it’s also a short drive to the likes of St Maxime and St Tropez, is easy to get to/from Nice airport and last but not least the Villa is just a 30 second walk to a fantastic pizza restaurant. The house itself is stunning, perfectly in-keeping with the area, nice cool stone exterior and welcoming and ideal inside for everything you could need. The pool was just fantastic for the hot days, the pool bar and bbq area was used very frequently and enjoyed the villa at night so much that we hardly ate out, preferring to enjoy our surroundings with dinner at the Villa via the pizza oven. The hosts were a pleasure to deal with, access to the house was easy and all this combined together made for a fantastic holiday for the family. 10/10!!! Will be back!

Séjour en famille août 2021

Nous avons séjourné à 9 personnes dans cette villa et la maison est très grande et très bien équipée. Rien n’y manquait. La télévision ne fonctionnait pas, le problème a été résolu très rapidement par Paul mais pas de chaînes françaises… dommage pour les enfants mais nous avons survécu! L’extérieur est très bien agencé. Par contre la cuisine d’été était relativement sale… énormément de toiles d’araignée et de graisse sur les lampes au dessus du bar et les grilles du barbecue n’ont pas souvent été nettoyées. De plus nous avons été envahis par les fourmis (sur la table à manger à l’extérieur de la maison mais également à l’intérieur de la maison) il faudrait certainement un traitement approprié. La piscine est très profonde alors attention si vous avez des enfants en bas âge car il n’est pas possible d’y jouer au ballon. De plus, nous l’avons trouvé particulièrement fraîche (26 degrés… à vérifier car il était difficile d’y rentrer). Sinon nous avons passer un agréable séjour dans cette maison. Le quartier est très calme et tout est très bien aménagé. Nous la recommandons vivement.
