Le Pre de la Mer

Le Pre de la Mer | Best places to stay in Cote d'Azur

"A traditional Provencal-style house converted into a refreshing design hotel, Le Pre feels like a tranquil retreat – but one that puts you close to the buzz and glamour of Saint-Tropez. You’re also a short walk from Saint-Tropez’s beaches, such as Plage des Canoubiers. Bright white rooms all have original beams, and king-size beds are decorated with contemporary art; each opens up to a private garden terrace where you can enjoy a peaceful, tete-a-tete breakfast before heading out to lounge by the generous-sized turquoise pool. The hotel’s cocktail bar and restaurant are open all day; in the evening, for a special treat, you can arrange to dine by candlelight ‘on top’ of the pool, thanks to its hard, transparent covering. It’s a relaxing and stylish hideout run by a personable team that sincerely wants you to enjoy your stay. " - Dana Facaros
