Villa Agape - St Tropez

Luxury Villa Rental in St Tropez

Lucy Daltroff

There are some places in the world that arrive with their own mythology, where the name alone conjures a special expectation. In the South of France, Saint-Tropez is one of those places. This once small fishing village has long danced on the edge of fame, conjuring visions of Brigitte Bardot in a striped bikini, tanned figures stepping off yachts, and rosé sipped beneath parasols. But what I discovered, during a recent stay, was something deeper: a place where art, design, and quiet thoughtfulness live behind the scenes of the show.

Kay Woolley
