St Tropez: You Asked - We Answered - Frequently Asked Questions

Is St. Tropez really as glamorous as the movies make it look?
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: It’s where yachts sparkle, rosé flows like water, and designer sunglasses are practically a dress code. But don’t worry, it’s not all flash. There’s a wonderfully laid-back side too, with sleepy mornings at the boulangerie and quiet coves just minutes from the buzz.

Do I need to be famous to fit in?
Absolutely not. You just need to appreciate good food, great weather, and even better people-watching. Whether you’re in heels at a beach club or barefoot at your villa barbecue, everyone’s here for a good time (and maybe a selfie with a celebrity).

Why rent a villa in St. Tropez?
Because the only thing better than going to St. Tropez is coming home to your private villa at the end of the day. Think ocean views, infinity pools, lemon trees, and long dinners under the stars. It’s your own little slice of French Riviera heaven, with no checkout time.

Where is the best beach?
Pampelonne Beach is the big name, with iconic clubs like Club 55 and Bagatelle. But if you want sand with fewer stilettos, head to quieter spots like Plage des Salins. With a private villa in St Tropez guests love having both nearby, party by day, peace by night.

Do I need a car?
Yes, unless you plan to live in your St Tropez villa rental 24/7 (which, honestly, isn’t a bad idea). Parking can be a challenge in town, but it’s worth it for the freedom to explore nearby villages, beach clubs, and markets on your own schedule.

Is it kid-friendly?
Surprisingly, yes! Behind the glam, St. Tropez is a classic fishing village at heart, and kids will love the beaches, gelato, and open-air markets. Many villas are designed with families in mind, so you can sip rosé poolside while the little ones cannonball in style.

What’s the vibe outside of summer?
June and September are golden, fewer crowds, perfect weather, and everything is still open. Even spring and autumn have their charm, with mild temps and peaceful village strolls. Off-season Tropez is all the magic, minus the madness.
