A Gentle Sunset

Set within eight hectares of pine-dotted grounds, this Porquerolles estate offers rare privacy and direct access to the sea. A private pontoon makes boat trips effortless, while terraces facing the harbour provide sweeping views at every turn. From here, the village, port, and beaches are all within easy reach by bike or on foot, while the island’s cultural highlights – including the Jazz Festival and Carmignac Foundation – are close at hand. All in all, it’s a truly unique address in an exceptional setting.

Home truths:
*The home is located on Porquerolles Island, accessible only by ferry or private boat. There are regular shuttles from Hyères all year round, but also from Toulon, Les Sablettes and Saint-Mandrier from April to October, as well as from other towns along the Var coast during the summer season.
*There is access to the sea via the private jetty but also access to the village, port and nearby beaches, on foot or by bike.
*The property is within a protected national park, the host asks that you respect local rules and wildlife.
*While the fifth bedroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
