Smitten guests believe this upper-middle-range boutique hotel on the edge of town is as intoxicating as the anise-flavored aperitif for which it’s named. The building itself is a Provençal beauty, and the palm-fringed pool area behind it oozes St. Tropez chic. But what really sets the place apart is a savvy celebration of 20th-century design that extends from the lobby/lounge with its cheery zinc bar right through to the 10 unique rooms, each boasting its own terrace or balcony and luxe bathroom. In addition to eclectic artworks and iconic pieces of furniture, all come with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Some also offer water views, but the famed Plage de Pampelonne is about a 10-minute drive away, so if you dream of being on the beach, the three-pearl La Toison D'Or is a better bet.

This peaceful hideaway provides a respite from the party-till-dawn scene that's typical of Saint-Tropez. Located on a two-lane country road, the four-pearl property -- with just 13 rooms and suites -- is run like a bed-and-breakfast by a husband-and-wife team known for giving guests individual attention and employing a top-notch staff. Rooms feature private terraces and pergolas looking out to the magnificent pool and grounds, flat-screen TVs, and L'Occitane en Provence products. A fantastic breakfast is exquisitely presented but it's not included in the rate, and there's no on-site restaurant, bar, or spa. For a boutique hotel with those three features, consider Hotel Sezz Saint-Tropez.
