Hello everyone, I am debating whether to stay in a hotel on the main street of st. tropez or stay off the beaten path. Any suggestions???? Also, I realize european hotels have very small rooms, I am looking for a hotel with a little larger room as I will be traveling with a child and adult. I am looking to stay in a decent hotel that is not $1000 a night but neither a dump. Open to suggestions...... Thank you!

Hi SaldBowl,
Staying in our just outside of St Tropez probably depends on what you plan on doing, and whether you have a car. Mostly beach, people-watching, socialising, taking side-trips?
I stayed at Les Capucines last year, about 2 or 3km outside the village, and would definitely recommend it. It was spacious and had a lovely pool, lots of peace and quiet and beautiful views over the bay, plus ample free parking. i think the room cost about €200. On the downside, if we wanted to go out partying at night, it was a little out of the way, and we needed to spend €20 each way on a taxi (as you%26#39;ve probably figured out by now, nothing in St Tropez is cheap!).
This year I%26#39;m staying in the middle of everything, right off the street in Hotel Sube. It%26#39;s cheap by St Tropez standards at €160 a pop. The rooms are probably much smaller and I doubt we have a pool, but that%26#39;s not why we%26#39;re going! We%26#39;ll probably get a better chance to soak up the atmosphere and people-watch. Parking in the centre of St Tropez is scarce and very expensive so I%26#39;m glad I%26#39;ve ditched the car this year. Whatever you do, good luck, and remember you won%26#39;t get much room for your money! Try Hotel de Lices (it was full when I tried). Maybe an expert like JBart will have some ideas for you Bon voyage!

We stayed in St. Maxime last summer and it was incredible.. We wanted to be in St.Tropez, but couldn%26#39;t find anything for the four of us, so we rented a villa in St. Maxime. We went to St. Tropez on the ferry in 15 mins. for dinners and strolling.. We wound up loving ST. Maxime so much more than ST. Tropez, which we never expected. St. Trop is beautiful, but there are just soooo many tourists, and so many speaking nEnglish it was kind of a turnoff... St. Max was the opposite, just French vacationers and locals.. I highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed at Chateau Messardiere a couple of years ago and we%26#39;re going back this June. We love the hotel. It%26#39;s a bit expensive but we find its location to be great. It%26#39;s just a 5 minute drive from St. Tropez town or the beach and they have a 24 hours shuttle service so transportation is never a problem.

I think it really depends on your sleep cycle. I you will be in bed before 1am then I would not stay in the center unless the hotel gtyd a very loud airconditioner.
On the other hand, it you are going to be out making noise until 2 to 5 am, then stay in the center so that you dont have to drive any where.
