Lunch in the sun at La Bastide de Saint-Tropez

Located in the heart of a pine forest, La Bastide de Saint Tropez is an intimate 'tropézienne' hotel par excellence. What an elegant escape, encompassing the culinary creations of Franck Broc, with its deliciously inventive Mediterranean cuisine, and the delectably inviting setting!

Charm, calm and delight


There is something deeply refreshing here at La Bastide de Saint Tropez. Is it the four provincial farmhouses, set in this vast exotic park? Is it the feeling of being welcomed as family? Is it the cuisine of the new chef that assails our senses as we lunch by the swimming pool, under the ancient olive-trees or in the winter garden? Perhaps all this and more... One thing however is certain, within such a pleasant
setting, Franck Broc 's cuisine makes for an enthralling moment, away from the hub-bub of the jet-set life ... Experience it for yourself as soon as possible!


At l'Olivier...


Admittedly a menu ought to delight the most demanding of taste buds, but for those who would like some direction, we suggest the bass with tartare of ginger and fine herbs, served with a lightly whipped, pepper sauce and salad and pan tossed almond spaghetti.  Also, the monkfish in coconut milk and lime and the roasted seabass with gnocchi, baby spinach and pan seared tomatoes, with an orange and sechuan pepper sauce. To finish, why not be enchanted by the moelleux chocolat100% crème fouettéeamaretto et fève tonka before heading to the edge of the swimming pool, in the shade of the palm trees. Maybe, this is how the true VIPs spend their 'tropézienne' holidays...

My opinion:

Definitely an escape to share with your loved one. I liked the secret side to this country house, which, unlike the Saint-Tropez stereotype, is simple and convivial.
The rooms are inviting, decorated in the Provençal style. I recommend those with garden or terrace views.
