A Provençal bastide 10 minutes from the port, where Saint-Tropez rediscovers its calm before the jet-set.

1,925.04 €
“Heated pool in a parasol pine garden, away from the centre's bustle yet still walkable.”
Hotel Lou Pinet occupies a discreet address on the chemin du Pinet, halfway between Pampelonne beach and the village. We appreciate the absolute calm of the Mediterranean garden, its century-old pines that filter the light, the pool lined with teak sun loungers. The rooms mix natural tones, crumpled linen and light stone bathrooms, without ostentation. The spa offers massages and treatments, the restaurant serves honest Provençal cuisine without gastronomic pretensions. From 1 925 € per night, we pay for the tranquillity and the location, not the Tropezian bling. Our verdict: an address for those who flee the port's bustle while staying in the perimeter.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Lou Pinet to fortysomething couples and affluent families seeking Saint-Tropez without the port crowds. It's an address for those who prefer Pampelonne beach to Sénéquier's terraces, terrace dinners to nightclubs. Thirty-somethings seeking action will find the place too quiet.
