Villarama

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Villarama? It’s tucked away in this residential complex called Les Jardins du Pinet, which honestly feels more like stumbling into a local French neighborhood than checking into a typical Saint-Tropez hotel. I mean, you’re still in the heart of Saint-Tropez – literally a few minutes from all that glitzy harbor madness – but there’s something refreshingly low-key about pulling up to what feels like an apartment building rather than some flashy resort entrance.

The whole setup is pretty clever, actually. It’s got that authentic French residence vibe going on, where you’re living among actual locals rather than being corralled with other tourists. The rooms are solid – nothing fancy, but they’ve got character and honestly, after spending your days exploring the cobblestone streets around Place des Lices or people-watching at the old port, you just want somewhere comfortable to crash. The 7.7 rating makes perfect sense because it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle (welcome to Saint-Tropez), but once you’re settled, you can actually walk to most places you’d want to go. The morning routine here is pretty sweet – you’ll hear the sounds of the neighborhood waking up, maybe catch the scent of fresh bread from the local boulangerie drifting through your window.

What I really appreciate about this place is the timing aspect. During peak summer when Saint-Tropez turns into absolute chaos – and I mean the kind of crowds that make you question your life choices – Villarama feels like a quiet refuge. You can escape back here when the Vieux Port gets too intense or when you need a break from the scene at Café de Paris. It’s not trying to be the fanciest spot in town, which actually works in its favor because you’re not paying those ridiculous Saint-Tropez premium prices for marble lobbies you’ll never use. Instead, you get a genuine taste of what it might feel like to actually live in this famous little town, even if it’s just for a few days. The staff knows the area well too – they’ll point you toward the better beach clubs or let you know when to avoid certain streets during the crazy weekend rushes.

Apartments in Saint-Tropez provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional Provençal markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned French Mediterranean culinary traditions.

  La piscine

• Alberto from Italy (4/10)

  Appartamento bello e molto ben curato, ma piccolo: la camera da letto era sottoterra, senza finestre, cosa che in Italia non sarebbe permessa. Il rapporto qualità prezzo ne risultava elevato, assai elevato, anche rispetto ad una camera di albergo 3/4 stelle nei dintorni. Non c'era colazione. Di positivo gli spazi del comprensorio ove era situato l'appartamentino e la piscina. Tuttavia per 500 euro a notte, in un bilocale, in complesso il prezzo sembrava eccessivo.

• Bettina from Austria (9/10)

  Traumhaft ruhige Lage, wunderschöner Pool, wenige Minuten zu Fuß zum Tahiti Plage, 5 Minuten zu Fuß zum tollen Lokal Pommes de Pin. Wenige Autominuten nach St. Tropez. Unsere Vermieterin hat uns toll unterstützt. A bientot!
