Other than the old village and the harbour, where most of the properties are apartments, the most sought-after districts of the peninsula remain the same with each passing generation: Les Salins, Le Capon, Tahiti and Pampelonne. The ultimate, rare find is a property in one of the gated estates overlooking the sea: Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez, of course, Cap Tahiti, or Le Parc de la Moutte. Bearing in mind that Saint-Tropez of course includes its neighbour Ramatuelle, another charming village perched above (excellent) vineyards and the Mediterranean at an elevation of 130 metres (425 feet). Each villa here is bolder and more stunning than the next, just a stone’s throw from the beaches. 
If you’re looking to rent a villa or apartment on the Saint-Tropez peninsula, you’re sure to find something perfectly tailored to your personal style and taste. During the peak summer season, lovers of glitz and glamour flock to hotels such as the Byblos, Château de la Messardière and La Ponche, the legendary party nights at the Papagayo, the VIP Room and Les Caves du Roy, and the beaches of Pampelonne, or Ramatuelle – where they might hope to snag a table at the famous Club 55. Followed each evening by the time-honoured ritual of a glass of rosé at the Sénéquier, the Café de Paris or l'Escale, before heading over to the old harbour for sunset or Place des Lices for a round of pétanque with friends. Then it’s time for dinner, preferably at Le Café or Le Bistrot, just a pétanque ball's throw away! After the buzz and bustle of the July and August nights, the regulars savour the end of the season and the gentle Indian summer. As autumn rolls in and the trees on the Citadelle hill take on glowing colours, calm returns to the narrow streets, and the Mistral wind remains mild and pure. The social scene is still lively, and the authentic Saint-Tropez returns with a more laid-back vibe and numerous concerts and exhibitions, tasty local delicacies to sample at the Provençal market on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, and sporting events such as Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, a magnificent regatta held every year in late September or early October and featuring some of the world’s most beautiful yachts.

A hideaway for international clients

And because the peninsula can be enjoyed all year round, some connoisseurs take up residence here as winter draws in and continue to enjoy the leisurely pace of life that makes this former fishing harbour unique. And what can be said about spring, when nature bursts back into life and Saint-Tropez basks in the warmth of the sun’s rays as it gears up to welcome a new season of visitors! Saint-Tropez, the one and only, might be described as a lighthouse beacon, guiding the real estate market on the French Riviera. Its unwavering popularity makes it a safe haven for international clients who are accustomed to the very best. In an iconic setting!
