"There is something endlessly glamorous about Saint Tropez’s laid-back spirit. You’ll find it in droves at Hotel Lou Pinet where rooms are dressed in shades and prints from the ’60s and ’70s, and mint shutters lining a typically Provencal exterior blink out over one of the Riviera’s most ravishing pools, lined with turquoise tiles. Subdued colors and materials echo the region’s more rustic reputation—olives, creams, wicker, and terra-cotta—and ahead-of-her-time Tata Harper has whipped the spa into eco-shape. Breakfast here is a photogenic affair—finessed spreads of bircher muesli, perfectly baked bread and pastries, fresh fruits, and cold cuts, enough to stretch on till midday where Saint Tropez’ sandal and Tropezienne delis await only 10 minutes away." - Rosalyn Wikeley
