One of the most incredible hotels in the South of France is Chateau Hotel de la Messardiere. The Chateau sits amid the pinewoods on a hillside overlooking the Bay of Saint-Tropez, the Ramatuelle vineyards, and the beaches of Pampelonne.

About the Chateau

The Hotel Chateau de la Messardiere boasts 70 newly-remodeled bedrooms and 45 suites, along with an intriguing history. Originally built in the 19th century as a wedding gift for a French cavalry officer, the family home fell into disrepair and there are rumors of a few ghosts who visit the property.

The Chateau was renovated in 1989 and reopened as an Anglo-Moorish 19th century Chateau. Gerald Hardy became general manager in 1993 and added the final touches to the restoration.
