This unique and contemporary house overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, is located in the heart of the private estate at Cap Benat in the Hyères area. A gorgeous villa that has been built on three levels and integrated into the hillside with an unobstructed view over the Sea. Boasting 1,200 sqm of living space with 8 air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms, a large stone terrace and infinity swimming pool is perfect for groups of up to 16 guests.

There is a small beach nearby, at the bottom of the hill for groups to congregate together and all the villas in the community enjoy the benefits of the facilities (e.g. security guards, tennis courts, private beach, small harbor, heliport, etc…).  All the villas in this neighbourhood have been built using dry stones from Bormes-les-Mimosas quarries, thus all blending into the landscape. The villa offers total privacy and although it has a very contemporary look it blends perfectly into the Mediterranean landscape of the region. The villa is ideally located just below a former semaphore tower and offers a unique panoramic view over one of the most beautiful coastlines of the Riviera.

The infinity swimming pool (not heated), 16 m x 4.5 m with a depth of 1.40m, has a shallow end area and cascades falling below the pool. By the pool there are 6 Sun lounges, 8 pouffes, and 2 hammocks. Since the pool is not fenced, guests will be asking to sign a waiver upon arrival. There are many terraces on different levels of the villa. There is also a small pond, garden furniture, several areas of landscaped gardens, lawn, and below the house a secluded space with heavy wooden furniture, umbrellas, and a small fridge. The villa is enclosed by an electric fence and gate, in order to protect the property from the different animal species that live in the area. Within this private estate, there are many tennis courts for guests use (can be booked in advance) and coaches are available upon request.

*A 9th bedroom is available upon request: located on Lower Level 1 with a small double (Queen) bed, A/C, safe, small desk, en-suite bathroom (large shower, washbasin, and WC), sea view and direct access to the garden.
