Set on the hillside above the Bay of Canadel, Villa Fino is a light-filled Mediterranean retreat where sea views and fragrant gardens shape every day. Across 219.29 m² of thoughtfully designed living space, four bedrooms and beautifully balanced reception areas invite effortless family life and easy entertaining. Outside, a 45.70 m² infinity pool and broad stone terraces (98.91 m² plus 46.91 m² upstairs) create a natural stage for long lunches, sunset swims and unhurried evenings. All within a preserved enclave of just seven new villas, moments from the coastline and the village’s year-round rhythm.

A Riviera Rhythm, Framed by Sea and Pines
There are places on the Var coastline where the day seems to unfold more slowly&mdash where the air carries the scent of warm stone and citrus, and the horizon stays painted in Mediterranean blues from morning until dusk. Set above the Bay of Canadel in Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, Villa Fino captures that feeling with rare ease: a contemporary Provenç al home designed for sunlight, privacy and the simple luxury of being able to step outside and see the sea.
This is a villa that invites you to live outdoors as much as in. A wide natural-stone terrace stretches out beside an infinity pool gardens soften the architecture with Mediterranean greenery and inside, generous volumes flow naturally from one space to the next. The result is a home that feels calm, confident and beautifully in tune with its setting.
Villa Fino &mdash Space that Breathes, Light that Moves
Offering 219.29 m² of living space, Villa Fino is arranged over two levels (ground floor and first floor), balancing sociable open-plan living with quiet, well-separated sleeping spaces. Throughout the villa, large bay windows and carefully considered openings draw in the southern light and keep the landscape present in everyday life.
The Ground Floor: Effortless Living, Seamless Entertaining
The ground floor is shaped around a bright and expansive kitchen / dining area (65.35 m² )&mdash the heart of the home, designed for long, lazy breakfasts and lively evenings shared around the table. The kitchen connects naturally to the outdoor terrace and pool area, making it easy to move between shade and sun, inside and out.
Practical spaces are discreetly integrated: a cellar (5.40 m² ) supports everyday storage, while the technical room (9.55 m² ) keeps essential systems neatly out of sight. An entrance hall (6.95 m² ) gives a proper sense of arrival, and a guest Wc (2.94 m² ) adds comfort for day-to-day living.
For quieter moments, a separate living room (20.45 m² ) offers a more intimate atmosphere&mdash ideal for reading, conversation or a film as the evening cools the air outside.
A ground-floor bedroom suite creates flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Bedroom 1 (12.29 m² ) is complemented by a dressing room (3.57 m² ) and a bathroom (7.06 m² ), creating a private retreat that works beautifully as a main suite or a welcoming guest space.
The First Floor: A Calm Upper Level for Family and Friends
Upstairs, the villa continues with a layout designed for comfort and privacy. An additional lounge&mdash the upper living room (18.88 m² )&mdash can become whatever your life requires: a library corner, a media space, a playroom, or a quiet office for remote working, away from the flow of the main living areas.
Three further bedrooms are arranged across this level: Bedroom 2 (14.90 m² ), Bedroom 3 (15.93 m² ) and Bedroom 4 (15.93 m² ). Two shower rooms&mdash Shower room 1 (4.55 m² ) and Shower room 2 (3.67 m² )&mdash support easy family living and guest comfort, while a second Wc (1.75 m² ) adds everyday practicality.
A dedicated laundry room (3.30 m² ) keeps household routines simple, and circulation is generous, with a landing (6.82 m² ) that prevents the upper level from ever feeling cramped.
Outdoor Living &mdash Terraces, Infinity Pool, and a Garden with Presence
Villa Fino is designed around the outdoors, with spaces that feel purposeful from early coffee to late-night conversation.

Infinity pool: 45.70 m² , set alongside the main terrace for a true resort-style atmosphere.
Ground-floor terrace: 98.91 m² of natural-stone paving&mdash ample room for dining, lounging and sunbeds.
First-floor terrace: 46.91 m² , extending the upstairs experience into open air.
Garden: 866 m² within a wider plot of 1,653 m² , creating a generous sense of breathing space around the villa.
Annexe: 11.43 m² (with technical pool elements), keeping the exterior environment clean and uncluttered.
Covered parking: 38.77 m² , with private parking spaces attached to the villa.

The architecture takes inspiration from the region&rsquo s traditional terraced landscapes, with local-stone retaining walls (restanques) grounding the home into the hillside. Shaded areas are created with reed sun screens, allowing you to enjoy the terrace even in the height of summer, without losing that unmistakable southern brightness.
Details that Matter &mdash Comfort, Security, and Premium Finishes
Beyond the setting and the view, Villa Fino is defined by thoughtful specifications designed for year-round comfort:

Reversible heat pump with diffusion via the floor (for heating and cooling comfort).
Home automation system and videophone.
Burglar-resistant entrance door with a 5-point security lock.
Electrically operated roller shutters.
Fitted cupboards (built-in storage) in the bedrooms.
Bathrooms and shower rooms with washbasins, Led mirrors and heated towel rails.
Natural-stone terrace paving and local-stone landscaping elements.
Flooring: tiling on the ground floor solid oak parquet upstairs (excluding upstairs wet rooms which remain tiled).
Joinery in wood and/or coloured aluminium.

It is a specification list that supports a lifestyle: low-effort, well-managed, and designed for the way people actually live by the sea.
A Preserved Enclave of Seven Villas
Villa Fino forms part of an intimate collection of seven new villas, set in a preserved and confidential area on the heights of Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer. The architecture blends contemporary lines with Provenç al references&mdash soft ochre-toned finishes, local stone, and carefully integrated pergolas and transparent railings&mdash so the homes sit naturally within the landscape rather than dominating it.
Landscaped outdoor spaces are designed in a Mediterranean spirit, enhancing the existing character of the site while respecting environmental constraints. The setting is calm and private, with planting chosen for resilience and low maintenance&mdash an approach that suits both full-time living and lock-up-and-leave use.
Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer &mdash Between Authentic Provence and the Big Blue
Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer is prized for its understated elegance: a seaside village created in 1925, shaped by history and protected by nature. Here, the coastline is sculpted into capes, coves and beautiful bays, with fine sandy beaches and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find on the Riviera.
The village faces the Î les d&rsquo Hyè res&mdash Le Levant, Porquerolles and Port-Cros&mdash with Port-Cros celebrated for its National Park and protected marine environment. On land, the surrounding Massif des Maures adds a deep green backdrop of cork oaks, heather and mimosa.
Daily life is quietly satisfying: restaurants open year-round, and from April to the end of September, the Provenç al market brings colour and local produce to the centre of Rayol. Much-Loved local landmarks include the Domaine du Rayol and its renowned Jardin des Mé diterrané es (noted as around a 10-minute walk).
