Villa Ubuntu

In the spirit of the South African philosophy it embodies, Villa Ubuntu has been designed to create a harmonious environment for large groups and families, bringing a sense of brotherhood and friendliness into a livable property with large outdoor spaces. Drawing from the typical and traditional architecture of the area, the house has been respectfully, modernly, and elegantly reimagined by an interior architect, providing it with space and light. The combination of natural stone, glass, concrete, and wood in the service of a sober and timeless architecture offers a delicate harmony to this house. Upon entering the home, the colors and natural light, revealed by large sliding doors and cleverly placed skylights, welcome you into a warm atmosphere. The house is built on two levels, separating the day area from the night area. With its generous space, everyone finds their place, whether together or in small groups. This layout creates a feeling of intimacy while providing access to more than 400 m² of living space. From the moment you arrive, you will be struck by the transparency of the house given by its large glass surfaces; the Mediterranean welcomes you at Ubuntu. The entrance to the house is on the ground floor through a large pivoting door; here, you will be captivated by the lightness of the living space. On this level, there is a fully equipped kitchen, a pantry, and a breakfast bar. This space opens onto the indoor dining room leading to the main living room with its suspended fireplace and, further on, to the more intimate TV area. The entire room is equipped with large sliding glass bays opening onto the terrace, giving a sense of closeness to nature. The opening to the outside is one of the villa’s many unique features. The view is stunning with surrounding pines and the blue backdrop of Gaou Bay. On this floor, the wide terrace runs the entire length of the house and offers ample space for a 10-seat lounge, a large table for al fresco dining, as well as a covered lunch table near the barbecue. The house being oriented east, the terrace is the perfect place to watch the sunrise while enjoying a cup of your favorite morning drink. The master bedroom, with its work desk, living area, dressing room, and adjoining shower room, completes the layout of this floor. The garden, with its heated pool, its wooden bar, and its petanque area, is accessible from the terrace by a rounded stone staircase that breaks the straight lines of the villa and overlooks the endless lawn with its palm trees. The lower level is designed as a night zone with its five bedrooms. The laundry room equipped with washers and driers is also located there for added convenience. The five bedrooms are divided between a master bedroom with its own shower room and two sets of family rooms, each composed of two bedrooms sharing a shower room for one and a bathroom for the other. A separate toilet is shared by the family rooms. On this level, all bedrooms open onto the covered terrace leading to the immersive garden and the pool. The vast garden, undoubtedly the largest on the estate, is also one of the unique features of Villa Ubuntu within the Domaine du Gaou. The length of its lawn provides a sense of infinity, and the low hedges preserve the openness to the sky and surrounding trees while keeping privacy a priority. The garden is both a place to play petanque, ball games, or simply relax by the heated pool and enjoy a drink at sunset at the wooden bar built for this purpose. The bakery, tennis courts, and private beach with its restaurant are literally a 5-minute walk from the house. About Domaine du Gaou

"Domaine du Gaou" is a very family-friendly estate, away from the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. The principle of the estate's design is to use local stone with flat roofs or garden roofs to build the houses so that they blend into the natural colors of the trees and landscape. When viewing the rolling estate from the beach, it is surprising to note that no house stands out, which gives a harmonious appearance to the whole. Unpretentiously, "Domaine du Gaou" is a popular destination for discerning travelers seeking an exclusive vacation. Ubuntu: a philosophy close to the concepts of humanity and brotherhood, an ideal of society.
