You don't need to be right beside the beach to enjoy the French Riviera as this smart villa near Sainte-Maxime proves. Nestled in the hills and away from the hustle and bustle of the region's starrier spots, this home is bringing all the luxury with none of the fuss. Interiors swing between opulent and provincial, with rich chocolate and cream sofas, a wrought-iron coffee table, and distressed wooden cabinets in the living area. In the bedrooms, four-poster beds and ornate headboards provide the drama, while two rooms have French doors that lead out onto a balcony and the terrace. While it's only a five-minute drive to the beach, the home's gardens and pool area may mean you skip the foray altogether, spending lazy days on the loungers. As evening draws in, light up the barbecue, pull out one of the chairs underneath the pergola and settle in for an alfresco feast.
