About this apartment rental
Just 10mins from the beaches,and the Prarie de la Mer classy 'village',with its exotic palm trees,and lodges, and summer entertainment: with superb views across the water to Saint Tropez,from the chic bar: and mins from a unique stroll to the headland walkway by the marina: and also from a 'Plat Du Jour' or seafood restaurant, or pizzeria,or boulangerie, or a market, or a boat to hire, or just a very relaxing canal waterside walk, is our airy comfortable 1st floor waterside apartment.
Situated in the Chic water town of Port Grimaud, 'floating in Provençal pastel colours, warmed by Cote d'Azur sunshine all year round', it has 24hr security,giving a feeling of safety and exclusivity. PG is a mini-Provencal Venice, with lovely canals, crossed by tiny Rialto style bridges adding ambiance,boats gently meandering underneath them. Also within, it has a small square, embraced by shops and restaurants, where boules is played, and a market is held every Sunday and Thursday,selling the usual Provencal fare, creating a wonderful atmosphere. By the church, at the main bridge, the water taxis leave to chug around the canals,(free to you) or to go to the private beach, which is exclusive to residents,(also free to you as a tenant). Or a cruise to St Tropez, (20mins),which is an absolute must, passing the wondrous yachts, and from where the beaches can be seen in a crescent shape, the area on show sparkling, through the white trail of the blue boat.
We are on the waterside of the square, on the 1st floor of the building. There is a lift. The attraction of the apt is the long balcony, which boasts 2 sets of French doors. One from the lounge and one from the bedroom. It is wide enough to recline upon, or sit or dine at the table, and just watch the boats below, or the people crossing the bridge, photographing the splendid views, or the Venetian style arches, which when lit up at night, are gorgeous, and introduce a warm ambiance into the apt area. Or just see the fish lazily flapping around nosing maybe a piece of bread, in the water, from one of the restaurants above. The sun hits the balcony usually mid morning, but as it moves around it stays, and shines all day lighting up the apt frontage. Easy to lounge on the recliner, and sunbathe. Gradually the evening light becomes slowly exquisite, soft yellow, apricot, peach. Absolutely perfect for an evening glass of chilled pink rose, or beer, with maybe some shell fish, or whatever, bought at the market. And then the atmosphere slowly changes. Just a gentle percolation, as people cross the wooden bridge further down, seeking a restaurant; and the boats continue to meander;and the quiet music drifts.
There is plenty to do locally when staying here. Why not visit St Maxime, with its fantastic beach and marina, or world famous eclectic St Tropez with its opulent yachts and citadel,artists and cobbled pavement bistros,and enjoy its superb atmosphere. There are also plenty of coastal walks, as well, including vineyards to visit,other Provençal markets,and medieval Villages, e.g., Grimaud, Gassin, Ramatuelle,Cogolin, all having superb views across vineyards, and down towards the Mediterranean, with their own unique character. One of the best walks is at la Croix Valmer, at Gigaro beach, with its splendid views, with its nook and cranny inlets. Enjoy a drink at the beach restaurant as the water laps, and similarly at Cavalaire 20-30mins away, great beach, and marina. Relaxing places.
The whole area is a delightful experience. Try it!

The most perfect position with a delightful balcony, although the decor is a little dated do not let this out you off. All you need is provided and you could not be in a better position. Does get very hot without air con but electric fans are provided. Highly recommended and will stay there again.

Terrific little apartment right in the centre of Port Grimaud with a balcony overlooking the canals, literally 50 yards from the town market place yet not noisy. A fantastic place and fabulous holiday

A lovely apartment in the heart of Port Grimaud, only minutes walk from the restaurants, shops and the boats.
The owners Peter and Marie spoke to us before we left home and posted us very clear and concise instructions and advice on places to visit and eat in.
The apartment wanted for nothing and immediately felt at home in it.
The only advice that we could add would be to tell guests that mosquitoes are present in the area and to pack sprays, repellents etc

The apartment of Stephen and Mary is located in a central location of Port Grimaud, just behind the main square (Place du Marche' ). The balcony is right above the canals and bridges allowing you to watch the passage of boats and tourists who admire the area (the bridge just below us was the subject of continuous 'poses' for souvenir photos ...). The collection of the keys took place successfully and we greatly appreciated being autonomous in accessing the apartment without intermediaries. Everything was where it was written to us that it had to be, the instructions were very detailed, we just didn't understand which was the resident parking pass (.. it's the long card with the hook at the end ...). We didn't get in the car to unload the luggage: on Saturday there are a lot of people and we had doubts because of the car and the narrow and high bridges to cross, but there was no problem: the visitors' parking is free for the first half hour, so we could park temporarily there, enter the house, retrieve the pass and park the car in the resident parking lot ...
Since the apartment is centrally located, everything you need is close at hand: restaurants, small shops, a small supermarket right next to the church ... Towards Saint Tropez there is a very large supermarket (Geant Casino'). Attention there is always a lot of traffic towards Saint Tropez ...
The 'grand plage' is within walking distance, while the 'petit plage' can be reached by the 'bateau' (note: the right one for the pass that is in the house is the 'bateau' black ...). You can indulge yourself in visiting the beautiful villages in the interior of the area (Ramatuelle, Gassin, Grimaud, ...) or the beautiful beaches nearby or even more distant .... we stayed at the beautiful Cap Taillat unfortunately remained victim of a bad fire in the past, but still fantastic!
We also walked a lot from the Grand Plage of Port Grimaud through the nearby campsites and on the beach towards Saint Maxime. We also walked on a part of the famous 'Sentier du littoral' starting from Tahiti Plage up towards Saint Tropez with beautiful sea views ...
In short, having as a point of support this house with its particularity and comfort, the things to see, visit, do ... are many and close at hand. Thanks Stephen and Mary ... also for phone calls in Italian :-)) Thank you very much and see you again !! Laura & Mario

Great locAtion in centre of Port Grimaud above markets square, so GreAt for people watching.
Host is easy to work with and is responsive.
Be mindful there is no air conditioning (there are fans] and no wifi.
Really enjoying stAying there as very spacious for 2 or 3 people, eAting on verandah each night.
Note for eating on verandah 3 would be cosy, but do-able.

In the heart of P Grimaud with the atmosphere each day and night , perfect balcony for watching the world go by . Sun all day and took advantage of residents free water taxi , 5 minutes from beaches also large supermarket , St Tropez was 24E for 2 return . Apartment has all you need for a stay any time of year - biggest attraction ( and relief ) was free parking !!
Cant wait for next year , thanks again Steve + Maria .

The apartment was lovely, it was extremely well equipped, very comfortable and was in an excellent location overlooking an element of the port. We were able to sit in the evening and watch the activities take place, both on and off the water, and in the morning we loved having breakfast on the balcony and watching the port come to life.
Port Grimaud is a lovely location and close to some lovely sites to visit. We also enjoyed having our bicycles with us and just pedalling along the cost road for a drink or a meal.
The owners were extremely helpful and the briefing notes and key pack arrived exactly as they said it would.
This was our first stay with Owners Direct and if all owners are as helpful as this couple we will be doing it again.

The apartment is fantastic, very clean and everything you need for a relaxed holiday is in the apartment! Great Shower, washing machine, al fresco dining on the balcony! The location is superb, a stones throw away from the main square, where all the shops and restaurants are situated and I think twice weekly the market, which is great! fabulous food to take home and heat up for dinner on the balcony! ....Thank you for a lovely stay! x
