Chateau de la Messardiere

Plan for a fairy-tale stay at Château de la Messardière. This 19th-century castle, which crowns a pinehood-covered hill overlooking the bay, fuses Gothic and Italian Renaissance styles with plentiful columns, arches and tile floors. The 117 breezy rooms and suites are all decorated in earthy tones; when you’re not lounging on your spacious terrace overlooking the sea, wander the 25 acres of deftly tended gardens or stroll through the impressive art gallery. Rejuvenate with a Valmont and Cinq Mondes spa treatment before a romantic dinner at L’Acacia, one of Saint-Tropez’s finest restaurants.
