But look beyond the sleek superyachts moored in the happening harbour where glitzy designer boutiques have set up shop, and you\u2019ll also find whispers of a traditional fishing village with cobbled streets, honey-hued houses and peaceful caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>Spend a slow morning breakfasting beneath the iconic red awnings of S\u00e9n\u00e9quier on the waterfront, before getting lost in the maze of narrow streets overlooked by the sunshine yellow bell tower. Fuel up with a slice of Tarte Trop\u00e9zienne, a local brioche and cream-filled cake dusted with chunky grains of sugar, or an ice-cream from Barbarac, then spread a beach towel over the sandy shore of La Ponche, a picturesque cove backed by apricot and peach coloured buildings where locals go to watch the sun set. No trip to Saint-Tropez would be complete without a day at Pampelonne Beach, a three-mile stretch of white sand that\u2019s still the place to see and be seen at the likes of Le Club 55 and the yellow-striped loungers of Loulou Ramatuelle.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=&#8221;flickity_static_height_style&#8221; images=&#8221;17180,17181,17187,17186,17182,17183,17185,17188,17189,17190,17184&#8243; flickity_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; flickity_controls=&#8221;next_prev_arrows_overlaid&#8221; flickity_overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; flickity_wrap_around=&#8221;wrap&#8221; flickity_box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_no&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]\n<h2>DECISIONS, DECISIONS\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Designed to feel like a beautiful holiday home you would share with friends (expect little touches like retro postcards and bookmarks magically appearing in the pages of your holiday reading),\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/slh.com\/hotels\/h%C3%B4tel-lou-pinet\">H\u00f4tel Lou Pinet<\/a>\u00a0has a wonderfully vintage vibe thanks to its sixties-inspired interiors by architect of Mediterranean chic, Charles Zana.

The minimalist suites are named after famous muses from Audrey Hepburn to Sophia Loren, each individually designed and promising as much style as space to stretch out in total privacy. Sit back on a sunny terrace overlooking the sea, or take a dip in your private plunge pool with a glass of local ros\u00e9 in hand (straight from the suite\u2019s own wine cellar).

Crowning the ancient clifftops of \u00c8ze, the views from this historic hideaway are truly second to none \u2013 particularly from the private balconies of the antique-filled rooms. Four-poster beds and period fireplaces nod to the property\u2019s aristocratic heritage, while the glass-edged restaurant opening onto a panoramic terrace gives guests a taste of the modern day Mediterranean where you\u2019re welcomed with a zesty lemon spritz on arrival. Reserve one of the balcony tables to feel as though you\u2019re dining amongst the clouds, and opt for the seven-course sea-inspired tasting menu presented on coral-shaped plates created especially for the ch\u00e2teau by French ceramicist Elodie Meirsman.\u00a0<strong>Suggested stay 1-2 nights.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17202&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]\n<h2>TRAVEL TIPS<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to make the most of your time on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur, renting a car for your trip is a must \u2013 our preferred partner is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/slh.com\/partners\/sixt\">SIXT<\/a>, who have a presence in 110 countries around the globe. Make the most of the valet service available at the majority of hotels and beach clubs, as it\u2019s best to leave the car and walk into some of the smaller towns and villages where parking can be limited. Bring a comfortable pair of flats with you to navigate cobblestone streets, hilly walks, and steep steps down to beaches. Large, beautiful basket-style bags are not only a stylish souvenir of your stay, but also make the perfect beach and poolside accessory, or to take with you to a local market. Bring your own towel to avoid any hidden costs at beach clubs (some charge for towel use as well as lounger and cabana hire), and whatever you do, be sure to wear your most stylish swimwear \u2013 Kiwi Saint-Tropez and Vilebrequin are local favourites.<\/p>\n<h2>BOOK YOUR BOUTIQUE HOTELS<\/h2>\n<p>To book the hotels on this independent itinerary, get in touch with our Voice Reservation Team on\u00a0<strong>0800 0482 314 (UK)\u00a0<\/strong>&amp;\u00a0<strong>1-877-234-7033<\/strong>\u00a0(US).
