Above Saint-Tropez, Château de La Messardière occupies a 19th-century château within 13 hectares of umbrella pines, cypresses and Mediterranean gardens, looking towards Pampelonne Bay. Its 86 rooms and suites use pale natural tones, Provençal details and private terraces to keep the Riviera landscape close. Days move between two outdoor pools, the Valmont spa, tennis and padel courts, and the hotel’s beach club at Jardin Tropezina. Dining ranges from Matsuhisa’s Japanese-Peruvian menu to Italian plates at Palladio and long breakfasts on La Table de La Messardière’s terrace, framed by parasol pines and the bay beyond.
