petite maison à l entrée de st Tropez

Hotel Description

You know what? This little place totally caught me off guard. When you first pull up to petite maison à l’entrée de st Tropez (and yes, the name is exactly what it sounds like – it’s literally a small house at the entrance to Saint-Tropez), you might wonder if you’re in the right spot. It’s tucked into Résidence les Lisières, which honestly feels more like a quiet residential neighborhood than where you’d expect to find vacation rentals. But that’s actually the genius of it.

I mean, you’re maybe a 10-minute walk from all the Saint-Tropez madness – the harbor with those ridiculous yachts, the boutiques where a t-shirt costs more than most people’s monthly rent, the whole scene. But here? It’s genuinely peaceful. You can actually sleep past 7 AM without hearing scooters buzzing around or delivery trucks clanging through narrow streets. The property itself has this unpretentious charm that I really appreciated – it’s a proper 3-star place, nothing fancy, but everything works and it’s clean. The kind of spot where you’re not afraid to come back with sandy feet or toss your beach bag on the floor.

What I loved most was how it felt like staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The decor is simple but thoughtful (think French countryside meets coastal practicality), and there’s decent outdoor space where you can have your morning coffee without tourists walking by taking selfies. Parking was straightforward too, which – trust me – is not something you can say about most places in Saint-Tropez proper. During peak season, you’ll pay through the nose and still end up walking 15 minutes with your luggage. Here, you’re sorted. The 8.6 rating makes total sense once you spend a night or two – it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but it delivers exactly what it promises. If you want to experience Saint-Tropez without the constant sensory overload and inflated prices of staying right in the thick of it, this little maison is honestly perfect. You get the best of both worlds: easy access to the glitz when you want it, and a proper retreat when you’ve had enough of the crowds.

The concierge service in Saint-Tropez can arrange exclusive yacht charters, secure reservations at Michelin-starred restaurants, and organize personalized visits to local vineyards and the historic Citadelle.
