Saint-Tropez is famous for its chic nightlife and celebrity vacationers. Five-star luxury accommodation is the norm in this wealthy French seaside village. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the Airbnbs here offer much more than your average guesthouse. Just a stones throw away from nearby destinations such as La Ponche, Place des Lices and Pampelonne beach, Culture Trip has picked the best Airbnbs.

This studioAirbnb is ensconced amongst the old cobbled streets of the most historic part of the small village of St. Tropez and practically overlookingLa Ponche, one of only three beaches in St. Tropez. The cobbled streets are home to upmarket boutiques, art galleries, high-end delicatessens and elegant restaurants. It’s the ideal location for this Airbnb, which features whitewashed walls and a calming cream colour scheme throughout. It’s housed inside a traditional cottage and sleeps four people (two in a double bed and another two people on the pull-out sofa). The flat is full of old-world charm coupled with everything visitors need. Although the space is compact, it’s beautifully designed. There is only limited parking nearby, but that has to be expected from such a congested historic area.
With its front door facing the small beach of La Ponche, this Airbnb is sheer bliss for sea lovers and sunbathers alike. With its two bedrooms across two floors and a generous living space, the townhouse is ideal for either a family or two couples. The main draw here is the close proximity to the bay – few apartments in the area boast a jetty like the one at this Airbnb, which is so close to the house that it’s almost private. On summer evenings, lie in bed facing the sea views over the Mediterranean or treat yourself to dinner in the nearby restaurant. In the winter, you can revel in the emptiness of the beaches and walk out onto the jetty, which you’ll likely have all to yourself.
