Built in the 19th century and fully restored since, the 5-star Château de la Messardière — regarded as a genuine institution in Saint Tropez — has maintained all its extraordinary original character. Situated on a hillside, just a hop from Saint Tropez's center and Pampelonne beaches, Château de la Messardière spans the Bay of Saint Tropez, vineyards of Ramatuelle and the Med. All 64 suites and 44 rooms offer guests exhilarating vistas over the local scenery. Tucked away in 25 acres of magnificently pampered grounds (also an official French Bird Protection League / Birdlife International ornithological reserve), the Messardière is an ode to contemplation and relaxation. The Messardière’s absolute elegance is the fruit of a powerful and harmonious architecture featuring turrets, domes, vaults and arcades, combined with a beautiful interior offering all the warmth of typical Provençal ochres, Oriental rugs, wrought ironwork and an Englishman’s club-style bar.
