Why we chose it

Unlike most luxury villas near Saint-Tropez that prioritise contemporary minimalism, Lavender and Honey preserves authentic Provençal architecture with its exposed stone walls and hand-hewn timber beams, creating a genuine connection to the region's heritage. The three-hectare setting is genuinely rare this close to Saint-Tropez, offering complete privacy and space to roam whilst remaining just 15 minutes from the port. Most significantly, the open-plan bathroom layouts in two bedrooms represent a thoughtful design choice that creates a spa-like atmosphere rarely found in traditional Provençal properties, making this villa feel more like a luxury retreat than a standard holiday rental.
