Luxury 7BR Stone Villa | Private Spa, Pool, Wellness Retreat in Provence

Sarah of SMV Management
Originally from Australia, my journey to the South of France has been shaped by a lifelong love for travel, hospitality, and the finer details that turn a simple stay into an unforgettable experience. My background spans the luxury hospitality world—from managing exclusive properties to working aboard private superyachts, where impeccable service and attention to detail are a way of life.

After years of traveling the globe and working with high-end clients, I found myself falling in love with Provence—the golden light, the scent of wild herbs in the breeze, the stone villages that seem untouched by time. It felt like home.

Now based in the hills near Grasse, I manage a select portfolio of luxury properties through SMV Management, offering guests an experience that blends comfort, elegance, and genuine care. This 7-bedroom stone villa is the heart of that dream. Thoughtfully renovated, it brings together traditional Provençal charm with modern luxury—complete with a private wellness centre, 15-metre pool, boules court, and peaceful olive groves.

Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a wellness retreat, or a family holiday, my goal is to make your stay effortless and exceptional. I can arrange everything from private chefs and yoga instructors to guided wine tastings and local experiences.

I’m passionate about creating beautiful stays that reflect the essence of Provence—slow living, refined comfort, and authentic charm. I’m always nearby should you need anything, and I look forward to welcoming you.

Warm wishes,
Sarah

After years of working in luxury hospitality and managing superyachts around the world, I had the privilege of experiencing some of the most beautiful destinations on earth. But nowhere captured my heart quite like Provence.

There is something timeless and deeply grounding about this region—the warm terracotta tones of the stone villages, the scent of lavender and rosemary in the air, the golden light that seems to slow everything down. When I first arrived in the hills above Grasse, I knew I had found a place unlike any other. It wasn’t just beautiful—it was soulful.

This part of Provence offers the perfect balance. You're close to the glamour of the Riviera—Cannes, Nice, Antibes—yet surrounded by peaceful countryside, winding roads lined with olive trees, and villages that celebrate local life in its purest form. It’s a place where people still gather at the market on Friday mornings, where you can sip wine under the stars, and where time feels softer somehow.

As someone who has always been drawn to both refinement and authenticity, this region spoke to both sides of me. It offered the opportunity to create something truly special: a peaceful retreat that feels private and exclusive, but still deeply connected to the rhythm of Provence.

That’s what I love about this villa— a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with themselves and each other. Here, you can indulge in life’s luxuries—a private spa, a 15-metre pool, a garden filled with scents and stillness—while also embracing the natural beauty, simplicity, and joy of the Provençal lifestyle.

Choosing this area to live and work in, was never a business decision. It was a heart decision. And I feel grateful every day to share this with my clients.

What sets this property apart is the intention behind every detail. This isn’t just a beautiful villa—it’s a thoughtfully designed experience shaped by years of heartfelt love for Provence.

The home itself is a rare find: a fully renovated stone bastide with seven spacious bedrooms, nestled in the hills above Grasse. But beyond its elegant architecture, what makes this retreat truly unique is the atmosphere—a sense of serenity, space, and understated luxury that welcomes you the moment you arrive.

At the heart of the estate is the private wellness centre, created for deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests can unwind in the sauna, hammam, or ice bath, enjoy the outdoor jacuzzi, or take time for themselves in the yoga and ballet studio with its specially sprung floor. It’s more than a spa—it’s a sanctuary, and it’s exclusive to you.

The grounds are equally exceptional. Set on over two hectares, the property is surrounded by olive trees, wild herbs, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens. There’s a 15-metre pool, a boules court, and shaded corners to enjoy an apéro or a quiet moment with a book. You’ll also find a poolside bar and summer kitchen, perfect for alfresco dining.

Every element—from the layout of the house to the curated linens and materials—reflects a balance between refined comfort and Provençal charm. This is not a commercial holiday rental; it’s a home, crafted for guests who value privacy, quality, and a sense of place.

My team and I bring a concierge-level approach, offering curated experiences like private chefs, in-villa wellness treatments, and local tours, so your stay is truly bespoke.

In a world full of rentals, this property stands out because it’s personal, soulful, and genuinely luxurious—a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience Provence at its finest.
