Airelles Château de la Messardière

This was our second visit to the Chateau de la Messardiere. The staff was super attentive at all times. Joel, one of the Concierges, went out of his way to be helpful. The hotel runs a free shuttle day and night to the town center and during the day to the beach (Tropezina or Tahiti). The location, views and property are stunning. The rooms are well appointed and spacious-we had a junior suite with a garden view and just beyond you could see the bay of Pampelonne. Breakfast buffet was very good with everything you could imagine and stayed open quite late. Lunch at the Terasse pool restaurant was also excellent. We did not eat at L’Acacia. The bar had good live music in the evenings. Just love this hotel. We will keep coming back.

This is the second Airelles we've stayed at. The first one was La Bastide de Gordes. This experience was quite different, but just as exquisite. As you make your grand entrance through the front gate, you quickly understand that you're in for an experience of a lifetime. ROOM. Please see for yourself. I've attached a few photos. Not only was the room fantastic, the view from the room and the terrace was even better. One of my favorite Airelles perks is the $500 Dyson hair dryer in the bathroom. After you've tried it once, you question how you could have used anything else on your hair. FOOD. For brunch each day, we did the buffet with at least 100 food items. What's not to love. The dining area was not only beautiful, but serene. As for dinner, all our reservations were made by the concierge before we arrived. We had one hiccup on the first night, though. When we got into the hotel's shuttle to go to dinner, our driver informed us that the restaurant was closed. We went inside to have the concierge confirm, and indeed, it was closed. The concierge quickly pivoted and got us immediate seating at the fully booked sushi restaurant onsite. It was a very lovely meal. GROUNDS. One of the big differences between the St. Tropez and Gordes hotels is the amount of property they sit on. Whereby the Gordes hotel is a palace built into the side of a mountain in the middle of town, the St. Tropez property is expansive with lots of places to explore - including the outdoor fitness center, the Padel court, the kids camp area (with a huge treehouse), the animal farm, and all the gardens. It's like a high-end adult playground. SERVICE. Exceptional throughout our visit. As expected. The two callouts are the maid service and shuttle service. Our room was always cleaned up/turned down - yet we never saw a maid or their gear in the hallways. It was like magic. And then the drivers who shuttled us to/from town in a Rolls Royce every day were friendly and informative. They wanted to make sure we made the most of our visit. Airelles truly knows how to make you feel like a queen (and king) and make the most of your vacation time. The experience is worth every penny.

There can’t be a finer hotel. 6-star. The views are amazing. Property is absolutely beautiful. Service…off the charts. Food is incredible. This place is honestly a joke. We are in love. Having a hard time time leaving for Lame Como! :). Stay here and you’ll fall in love. And Saint Tropez is one of the funnest places we’ve ever been. Le Quai in old town is a must for nightlife. Le Cafe was a great dinner spot. But honestly, you don’t need to leave the hotel if you don’t want. Three restaurants.

We used to stay here very often before the management changed, many things changed but we still like very much the pool here and although the pool's restaurant was much better before, we still appriciate the hotel's shuttle that takes to St Tropez and to it's great restaurants, this avoid us to have to take the car each time we want to go out, thank you for everything.
