MEET THE FOUNDER

CLAUDIA VINCENTI

Stylish Villa Retreats was founded by Claudia Vincenti. After burning out in London running her PR & Marketing agency, she decided to move to France after meeting her now husband Franck.

While hosting family and friends in the South of France, Claudia noticed there was a real desire for people to getaway to not only relax, but to have a curated experience designed by locals.

As a generous host, yoga teacher and marketing and business consultant, Claudia tailors each retreat to your interests, creating an unforgettable holiday experience.

COME AS YOU ARE, LEAVE FEELING MORE RELAXED

Our retreats are designed to help you relax while also stimulating your senses … taste, touch, smell, sight and sound. There is no better way to experience the French Rivieria.

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM CLAUDIA

MORE ABOUT OUR STORY…

My journey and love for the South of France started over 15 years ago visiting friends every year in a beautiful French town Draguignan. Then I met my husband in London after he visited the city for a short weekend. I moved to France 6 months later, continuing my digital marketing agency there, bought our dream home, started our travel business, and had our beautiful daughter. Franck is my rock, my business partner and a wonderful father. Franck has grown up in Saint Raphael, working professionally in sport and for the city.

Franck and I dreamt of sharing our passion for the South of France, especially everything Saint Raphael has to offer all year round. In 2019 we bought the villa and began working on creating the luxury accommodation it has become today. For the past 3 years it has been rented out through airbnb, with Franck and myself the proud recipients of ‘Superhost’ status. We really do that extra mile for our clients! We now use this experience to host our retreats, and love helping guests make the most of their experience with us. With sun 300 days a year, beautiful coasts, mountains, stunning nature and surroundings and gastronomy, fresh produce to die for, homemade meals at restaurants, San Raphael is a dream holiday location. We really hope our visitors fall in love with it, as we have done.

We look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Claudia, Franck and Elisa
