Destination Guide

A luxury villa in St. Tropez is a great base for a holiday at most times of year.  For those looking for a lively beach scene and night life, it is at its most frenetic in July and August, with crowded boutiques, cafes and restaurants.  Outside this time, when the local population prevails and the atmosphere is calmer, the charm of its narrow streets, and picturesque old port with its daily fish market, can be enjoyed at leisure.  

On visiting St. Tropez for the first time, it can come as a surprise to find that, as soon as you leave the town itself, the surrounding area is so rural and tranquil.  Visits to the two charming medieval hilltop villages of Ramatuelle and Gassin, each approximately 8 kilometres from St. Tropez, are a must.  Many of The Villa Book's luxury villas are within just a few minutes drive of Ramatuelle, with its weekly market, food and speciality craft shops and good selection of restaurants.

And finally, of course, there is Pampelonne Beach, a magnificent 4 mile stretch of white sand.  Here you will find an amazing selection of excellent beachside restaurants and bars, including the renowned Club 55, Nikki Beach, Tahiti Beach and Les Jumeaux.  Many of the luxury St Tropez villas rented by The Villa Book are in the hills behind Pampelonne Beach, with views over the sea, offering a peaceful location, yet within easy reach of the amenities of both the beach and town.
