Breakfast on the rooftop
Facing the islands, a quiet little breakfast moment to start the day, while the rest of the house still awakens.
The roof terrace
Le Mas du Rocher
The quiet side of the Saint-Tropez peninsula.

The horizon
One hundred and eighty degrees of sea.
From almost every room.
The Îles d’Or on the horizon.
In print
“At the top of the hill, facing the Île du Levant: a blue, white and yellow house where everything was designed for living as well outdoors as in.”
Maisons Côté Sudthe leading French interiors magazine
We feel delighted our house was featured in this magazine, praising its architectural style and attention to detail, as if the house has always stood on this hillside, part of the landscape as a true Provençal mas.
A day here
How the house is lived
Not a schedule. Simply the rhythm the house tends to fall into.
Palm trees to Gigaro Beach
A quick drive or walk down the hill, through a private road, and then an idyllic walk down the palm tree lane.
The grounds
Lunch with a view
Palms swaying, the cane roof holding the shade, something good drifting out of the kitchen. Lunch is when the whole house gathers.
Afternoons at the pool
Saltwater and open sea, blue against yellow, striped sunbeds and parasols fraying in the wind. A slice of tarte tropézienne, a glass of Minuty rosé.
The pool
The kitchen fills
As the light goes, everyone drifts in: someone chopping, someone pouring, everyone leaning on the marble. A kitchen most chefs would envy, happily in amateur hands.
The kitchen
Apéritif, then dinner
Glasses out on the terrace as the islands fade one by one. Nobody hurries. This is where the evening starts, and dinner follows whenever everyone is ready.
The house
As if always there
“The detail that makes a house look as if it had always been there: shutters of crossed wooden slats, génoise cornices, pillars like those of the seventeenth-century courtyards of Orange and Avignon.”
Maisons Côté Sud
A family home first, cared for slowly by the people who actually lived in it. It’s now shared with guests who want to live in it exactly the same way: unhurried, and completely at home.

The coast below
Protected, therefore rare
The coast below the house belongs to the nation and will never be built on. Views like this one are not being made any more.

- On foot
- The sentier du littoral starts at Gigaro beach, the entrance to the protected domain, and stays quiet even in August.
Down the road
Neighbours
Quiet does not mean remote. Everything the peninsula is known for sits twenty minutes away. Exactly why Gigaro is known as the hidden gem of the Saint-Tropez peninsula.
- Lily of the Valley
- In the same Gigaro bay.
- Gigaro beach
- At the foot of the hill.
- Pampelonne
- About fifteen minutes by car.
- Saint-Tropez

Drive times are estimates. Summer traffic adds to all of them.

From the owners
Our home, in our words
This is our family’s house. We lend it to people who will open the shutters in the morning, eat outside, and let the sea set the pace.
A house manual waits inside. The house is looked after between every stay.
