Le Semiramis

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Le Semiramis on Avenue Paul Roussel, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place in Saint-Tropez. I mean, this town isn’t exactly known for budget-friendly anything, you know? But honestly, this little spot surprised me in all the right ways.

The thing about staying here is you’re actually in a proper residential area, which sounds boring but is actually brilliant. You’re far enough from the madness around the port (trust me, you don’t want to be stumbling back from Le Café at 3 AM through those narrow cobblestone streets), but close enough that it’s maybe a 10-minute walk to all the action. The building itself – it’s in this complex called “Bat C” which sounds super official but it’s really just a quiet residential setup. What I loved was how peaceful it gets at night. No drunk tourists singing outside your window, no scooters revving at dawn. Just… quiet. That’s gold in Saint-Tropez during summer.

The rooms are clean and honestly better maintained than I expected. Nothing fancy, but the AC actually works (crucial in July), and there’s this little balcony where you can have your morning coffee without paying €12 for it downstairs somewhere. The staff genuinely seemed to care, which is refreshing when you’re used to the sometimes snooty service you get closer to Place des Lices. They helped me figure out parking – and let me tell you, that’s no small favor in this town. You’ll want to ask them about the municipal lots because street parking is basically a myth around here.

What really won me over was the value. I mean, an 8.5 rating for a 3-star in Saint-Tropez? That doesn’t happen by accident. You’re paying probably half what you’d spend for something flashier near the harbor, but you’re still *in* Saint-Tropez – not stuck out in some resort in Ramatuelle pretending it’s the same thing. From here you can actually walk to Pampelonne Beach if you’re feeling ambitious, or catch the little shuttle that runs during peak season. The grocery store is right there too, which is perfect if you want to grab some local cheese and wine instead of dropping €200 on dinner every night.

Is it going to impress your Instagram followers? Probably not. But if you actually want to experience Saint-Tropez without completely destroying your budget – and get some decent sleep while you’re at it – this place just works. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from those unassuming spots that locals respect but tourists overlook.
