Saint Tropez transformed from a quiet fishing village into a paradise for the rich and famous in the early 20th Century, and its reputation for luxury and decadence still attracts thousands of visitors each month.
During the winter, Saint Tropez transforms from a thriving beach resort to a serene dream, where visitors can relax and appreciate the area’s authenticity and reasonably warm weather temperatures.
If you’re looking for villas to rent, St Tropez has an array of options – but nothing quite beats a luxury villa. Discover the historic charm of Villa Gemini, which offers a private pool and spa, with optional butler services.
We highly recommend Le Chateau for a secluded retreat that gives you access to the amenities of Saint Tropez. Up to 16 guests can enjoy private chefs, maids, butlers, and a host of private amenities.

Megève is an expansive ski resort that effortlessly blends cosmopolitan amenities with traditional Alpine charm. As part of the Mont Blanc area, the resort offers abundant slopes for skiers of all levels and a highly sought-after Après-Ski scene.
But Megève isn’t just about winter adventures; it’s also the perfect place to relax and unwind while appreciating the breathtaking scenery.
Hotels like the Four Seasons Megève give you access to the slopes and ensure a luxury setting, but many guests choose to book a private chalet.
Discover Alpine perfection at Le Chalet Megève, with a personalized concierge service and a private spa, or experience rustic charm at La Residence Chalet, which features a private cinema room and bespoke private services.
Our Tip: Try night skiing for a completely different way to experience the slopes.
Courchevel ski resort is France’s premier destination for those who want to combine world-class skiing with limitless opulence. The resort is renowned for its thriving Apre-Ski activities, designer shopping, and award-winning cuisine.

Luxury accommodation is the standard when you stay in Courchevel, and choosing a private chalet allows you to enjoy a relaxing winter vacation.
The rustic exterior of Chalet Belvedere complements the modern fixtures, including a private cinema, outdoor jacuzzi, and sauna. You can also benefit from close proximity to Courchevel 1850 and a private chef.
