The Boys of Summer

Sitting in the centre of Saint-Tropez, this brutalist home has a truly enviable location, but we think its charms extend beyond where it sits on the map. Only built in 2021, the interior is fresh and contemporary, and saved from the anonymity of over-ubiquitous minimalist design by the boldly patterned tiling underfoot, some eye-catching metallic light fixtures and the black-and-white artwork dotted across the walls. We've got kind words for the modern kitchen, which is all clean lines and sleek surfaces, as well as the terraces – not only is there a space on the ground level to dine in the open air, but the upper-floor balcony is fabulous for sunset-watching. You'll find it remarkably easy to embrace the Provençal lifestyle here. The twice-weekly market at Place des Lices is just around the corner and there are beaches you can reach on foot, too. When the sky starts turning dusky, there's a wealth of bars and restaurants in the surrounding streets at which to pass your evening hours.
