Port d'Or in Sainte Maxime, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Port d'Or Self-Catering

Ideally located across from the Port de Saint-Tropez, this effortlessly elegant apartment is an ode to French Riviera chic. From the moment you walk into the open-plan living area, you’ll be dazzled by the modern, eye-catching decor and the views of the port from the pretty French windows. Open these up to step out onto a small balcony equipped with a table and chairs – the ideal spot to begin mornings over coffee and croissants as you watch the yachts coming in, or to enjoy a sundowner as the sky turns to shades of pink and amber.

Back inside, the two bedrooms beckon a seamless night’s sleep, while the marble-clad bathroom invites long soaks under its rainfall shower and relaxing bubble baths in its separate tub.

When it comes to things to see and do nearby, take a stroll around the port towards Tour Portalet or the Phare de Saint-Tropez, or explore Place des Lices which hosts a twice-weekly market. You’re also within walking distance of Plages de Saint-Tropez and Bouillabaisse Beach, while plenty of restaurants and bars in the surrounding area are sure to tempt you with their delectable local delicacies.
