La Bastide de Saint Tropez

If we could, we would grant more than 5 stars to this excellent, luxurious yet so relaxing and welcoming hotel. Staff goes a long way to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Excellent breakfast and lunch / dinner options, shuttle to town center, nice rooms with balcony / patio, and a super knowledgeable and helpful concierge and restaurant staff will make your St Tropez outings a true success. Congrats to the Managing Director (who was ever present to talk to the guests !) and his team for a truly magic experience !

I booked a Junior Suite at €1500 a night. It is truly the worst hotel experience we have ever had. The room is the size of a cupboard. The suite is described on the hotel's website as the following: “A stunning junior suite, where the bedroom opens harmoniously onto a lounge area.” It is accompanied by a photo of a room with a large linen sofa and a coffee table in a separate living room to the bedroom. Please see attached a photo of the room we were given for comparison. The two chairs in my photo represent the living room described on their website. Not only that, but the hotel and the room are extremely dated and not comparable to other hotels we have stayed in at the same price range in St Tropez. The hotel manager was completely unsympathetic and offered no resolution as the hotel was fully booked, so we could not be moved. Not only that, but the hotel and the room are dated and not comparable to other hotels we have stayed in at the same price range in St Tropez. I appreciate a small renovation has been done recently but it is not of a sufficient standard for the price. The walls are very thin and we have children in the next room screaming next to us and can hear their every movement including plugs being pulled in and out of the wall our bed is against.

Went there for a romantic week end this Summer . The réception staff is super Nice, as the valets and the pools waiter. The room was a bit small, but the overall assets of the location is dreamy. The swimmingpool is super Nice and the Provence style décoration is a blast.

I approached our 2 night stay here with a little trepidation. St Tropez isn’t really geared towards someone like me. I personally don’t like the overzealous exuberance of the place and I wasn’t happy paying the amount I did for a room for a friends birthday weekend. Taking this pre conceived view into this trip I was pleasantly surprised with La Bastide. Negative first, this hotel (and probably 90% of hotels in St Tropez) is not worth the “uber” 5 star prices. Our room was very small and not of the quality of a top hotel. Could’ve done with a better decor and there were many knocks and bumps visible. I could’ve got unlucky with the room but I suspect all would’ve looked similar. Looking to the positives. It’s a small hotel and hence is very peaceful and tranquil. If you’re in St Tropez for a party weekend, it’s nice to escape and have a few hours chilling out around the beautiful pool area. Plenty of green plants and trees, terracotta styled buildings beautiful blue pool, the whole thing resonates of 1960’s Beverly Hills movie star dripping hotel. It really is lovely. Every member of staff we encountered were incredibly friendly from the front of house to the maids. They also had an incredibly helpful free transfer to the main town centre. The hotel is about 20 min walk to the centre so very doable but in the summer heat, it is nice to have the option to be driven. The roads are so busy in St Tropez so I felt guilty asking the guys to take us for such a short journey but it never seemed too much for them and they were always happy to help. The food is good at the hotel also. Breakfast is buffet style and whilst the selection wasn’t the biggest, it is a tiny hotel so difficult to justify a massive spread as much of it would be wasted. What was there, was good. We had lunch around the pool also at their BBQ option. The food here was really good and of a very generous portion size. My only quibble would be that again, there is no justification for the price and the food and beverage prices were insanely eye watering. Overall, a very lovely hotel and if you can reason or overlook the exorbitant cost, you’ll no doubt enjoy your stay.
