Lou Pinet Saint‑Tropez 5*
A vintage‑chic villa retreat just minutes from the sea.
Where 1960s bohemian freshness and Provençal serenity find refuge amid pine groves and artworks.
Hotel Overview
Lou Pinet blends French Riviera ease with residential disguise just off Place des Lices. Designed by Charles Zana and François Vieillecroze, its 34 individually styled rooms and suites feel like private villa chapters—each a unique mix of pastel textures, ceramics and tropezian vintage. The gardens by Jean Mus cocoon shaded courtyards and terraces, and the property exudes casual elegance: chic without pretension, bold but never ostentatious.
The Facilities at a Glance
Its facilities are quietly exceptional: a 15 m outdoor garden pool—Saint‑Tropez’s largest among central boutique hotels—flanked by pine trees and comfortable loungers. The Tata Harper Spa offers cocoon-like treatments, hammam and fitness. Two restaurants—Beefbar under Riccardo Giraudi and La Terrasse Mediterranean grill—serve fresh, artfully plated cuisine. The bar invites languid cocktails; valet, EV charging, shuttle service and beach transfers ensure ease.
Our Personal Recommendations
Our recommendations: begin your stay with lemonade or rosé by the pool at La Terrasse lounge, then sample small plates at Beefbar under ambient lighting and pine shadows. Retreat to the Tata Harper Spa for a signature facial or head spa session amid native greenery. Borrow a wine or backgammon board in the lounge and linger mid‑afternoon. For a local touch, stroll the garden paths at dusk as cicadas sing—it feels like living in a beautiful French tale, entirely on your own terms.
