Airelles Saint Tropez Chateau de la Messardiere

This is the second Airelles we've stayed at. The first one was La Bastide de Gordes. This experience was quite different, but just as exquisite. As you make your grand entrance through the front gate, you quickly understand that you're in for an experience of a lifetime. ROOM. Please see for yourself. I've attached a few photos. Not only was the room fantastic, the view from the room and the terrace was even better. One of my favorite Airelles perks is the $500 Dyson hair dryer in the bathroom. After you've tried it once, you question how you could have used anything else on your hair. FOOD. For brunch each day, we did the buffet with at least 100 food items. What's not to love. The dining area was not only beautiful, but serene. As for dinner, all our reservations were made by the concierge before we arrived. We had one hiccup on the first night, though. When we got into the hotel's shuttle to go to dinner, our driver informed us that the restaurant was closed. We went inside to have the concierge confirm, and indeed, it was closed. The concierge quickly pivoted and got us immediate seating at the fully booked sushi restaurant onsite. It was a very lovely meal. GROUNDS. One of the big differences between the St. Tropez and Gordes hotels is the amount of property they sit on. Whereby the Gordes hotel is a palace built into the side of a mountain in the middle of town, the St. Tropez property is expansive with lots of places to explore - including the outdoor fitness center, the Padel court, the kids camp area (with a huge treehouse), the animal farm, and all the gardens. It's like a high-end adult playground. SERVICE. Exceptional throughout our visit. As expected. The two callouts are the maid service and shuttle service. Our room was always cleaned up/turned down - yet we never saw a maid or their gear in the hallways. It was like magic. And then the drivers who shuttled us to/from town in a Rolls Royce every day were friendly and informative. They wanted to make sure we made the most of our visit. Airelles truly knows how to make you feel like a queen (and king) and make the most of your vacation time. The experience is worth every penny.

I stayed in here the first week of July. I really wanted to love it and was so looking forward to it but it wasn't a great sign when a day before arrival they called me and told me the Suite I had booked in January (and had confirmed by email. twice!) was no longer available and I was getting downgraded to to a room with a queen sized bed. No Bueno when you are 6 foot 5 ! In the end they stuffed a king sized bed in a room where we couldn't even fully open the wardrobe. The pool can be hell on earth with kids and large families hanging out and screaming. So don't expect to snooze/chill there in the late afternoon after "some" wine at one of the beach clubs. Also don't expect to get a sunbed at the other garden pool as they get "reserved" by guests at 9am...and i'm not getting up at 9am on holiday after a night partying in st tropez! All in all I would say the experience was average. Although it probably is worth coming for a quick drink and seeing the place. It is a beautiful setting.

Let’s start off by saying this Hotel is extremely racist and classist I when trying to book a reservation with concierge speaking in English, they didn’t let me reserve when I had a family friend called to speak to them in French The reservation was made 10 minutes after I initially tried to make a reservation as we walked into the restaurant,It was empty. The bathroom didn’t drain And the sink fell in my friends hands while she was opening up a drawer. They charged the wrong card, even after I informed to not charge that one which resulted on my card getting blocked for three days. We finally leaving the worst hotel. I’ve stayed in my life. They forgot to give my chauffeur one of my bags so me being on the way to Italy 40 minutes into the drive we had to return extremely irresponsible and rude even after spending 60k on a stay RUN.FROM.THIS.HOTEL. Also, the food was so bad I resorted to just eating the snacks from the bar in my room

We used to stay here very often before the management changed, many things changed but we still like very much the pool here and although the pool's restaurant was much better before, we still appriciate the hotel's shuttle that takes to St Tropez and to it's great restaurants, this avoid us to have to take the car each time we want to go out, thank you for everything.

Loved our stay at the Chateau de la Messardiere. The property is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful views. Not easy to walk to from downtown St. Tropez but the hotel has shuttles on demand. Service is impeccable and the food excellent. We were there for a wedding and it was magical. Our room/suite was large with an expansive terrace overlooking one of the pools. Layout was perfect and amenities super luxurious. I do feel however that the rooms need to be updated. But overall highly recommend.
