About this property
Enjoy an apéritif in your chic lounge before strolling to Saint-Tropez’s harbourfront to dine on a restaurant terrace overlooking luxurious yachts sailing by.
Embrace the unique and historic character of this inviting home located in the very heart of Saint-Tropez – you only need to step through the main front door and you will find yourself on a bustling street in the old town just metres from the water’s edge.
Back inside this Saint-Tropez holiday home, there is space for up to 4 guests across the open-plan living space and two air-conditioned bedrooms. Having undergone a recent update and refurbishment, guests can expect stylish interiors, a brilliantly equipped kitchen and exposed stone brick walls alongside bright artwork and a sense of glamourous yet quirky character, as expected in Saint-Tropez.
There’s a queen-size double bed on a mezzanine level overlooking the kitchen below with its own decadent bath tub near the foot of the bed. The first floor is home to the master double bedroom with a king-size four-poster bed and an impressive bathroom with a walk-in Italian shower. It’s here, in the bedroom, that the most nimble can access the rooftop sun deck (via a ladder/window), a welcome addition relaxation after a busy day wandering around Saint-Tropez.
Only a pretty little decorated walkway separates Maison Chic from Saint-Tropez’s old town. Find boutiques and other shops on your doorstep as well as ice-cream parlours, café-bars and restaurants within metres of your centrally located home.
Saint-Tropez may have gained the reputation as one of southern France’s most glitzy destinations, yet there is so much charm to discover as you explore the town. Hear the church bells chime from the iconic baroque church a 5-minute meander away and soak up the vibrancy of the twice-weekly Provençal market at Place des Lices, less than 400m on foot. Admire the stunning views of the bay of Saint-Tropez from the remarkable citadel and follow the coastal hiking path for more incredible scenery.
Take a ferry across to Port Grimaud and Sainte-Maxime to explore a little further afield or venture south to Plage de Pampelonne, home to summer watersports and exclusive Saint-Tropez beach clubs. Potter around the bougainvillea-clad lanes of Ramatuelle, dip your toes in the crystal-clear sea at Plage de l'Escalet and even visit the vineyards of La Croix-Valmer before returning to lively Saint-Tropez and your unique holiday abode.
Maison Chic enjoys a central location in the heart of Saint-Tropez. Arrive by aeroplane into Toulon Hyères (52km)/Nice Airport (112km) or the nearest train station with TGV arrivals from Paris is Saint-Raphaël Valescure (40km) or Les Arcs-Draguignan (42km). Saint-Tropez also has its own airport for private arrivals near La Môle, around 16km away.
The apartment is located on a bustling narrow street with pretty shuttered houses and boutiques - the one-way road is pedestrianised at times (usually in the afternoon/evening during mid and high season). Within a 2-minute stroll you are by the harbourfront lined with an array of restaurants, bars and impressive yachts. Payable parking is a short walk away near the port or there is an underground carpark a little further near Place des Lices. The owner will give you details about both car parks and weekly passes (which tend to be cheaper) before you arrival.
Look out for celebrities as you explore the characterful lanes of Saint-Tropez, once an old fishing village with its colourful houses by the waterfront. Nowadays it’s an exciting and vibrant town, especially in the summer months as one of France’s most visited destinations. Embrace the charm of the old town with the beautiful baroque-style church, climb up to the citadel to admire the stunning views and soak up the ambience of the Provençal market that takes place on Place des Lices, just 400m away, on a Thursday and Saturday morning – a fine way to shop for seasonal produce during your stay.
Summer boat trips whisk you along the coast for luxury trips, whale-watching excursions or sun-set cruises and there are tours to other parts of the French Riviera. Ferries will also take you across to the seaside towns of Port Grimaud and Sainte-Maxime for more lovely restaurants, markets and picturesque scenery.
Saint-Tropez is home to a small handful of town beaches, yet it’s most iconic stretch of coastline is Plage de Pampelonne (6km), home to summer watersports and exclusive beach clubs including Le Club 55 (7km) and Nikki Beach (8km).
Other activities include playing golf at prestigious courses, attending the Polo Country Club, tasting local wines in the châteaux near Pampelonne and visiting some of the region’s prettiest villages such as Ramatuelle (11km), Gassin (8km) and Grimaud (11.5km). There are further vineyards around La Croix Valmer (12km) alongside idyllic beaches and coastal walks around Plage de Sylvabelle, Plage de Gigaro and beyond, both around half an hour by car from your central Saint-Tropez holiday abode.
