Having never visited St. Tropez, we were unsure of what to expect. But from the moment we arrived, we were transported to an alluring realm. A charming town, pleasant people, a shopping delight, and scenic Mediterranean vistas of beauty. An integral reason for our lovely weekend is owed to Jean Xavier’s house. Location? Perfect. Comfortable? Very. The bedrooms are good size, the kitchen had the necessary amenities, and the spa-like showers were a soothing respite after a day at the beach. There is a cozy outside patio for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Add a convenient parking space, off-site from the house but easily accessible, and this home met all our needs for a relaxing getaway. The spiral staircase is not for the physically challenged and arriving and unloading luggage takes some maneuvering, but Jean X and his assistant Lucie went above and beyond to help us get settled. Did I mention location? Again, this is the key to this home: it is in the center of town, walking accessible to all the sights, dining, shopping and people-watching, yet quiet, safe and private.
