Le Mas de Pierre

The most relaxed five-star on the St-Paul scene is a vision of Provençal elegance, with a dash of boutique charm thrown in. It’s about 2km (1.25 miles) from the village center—walkable but a taxi home after a night of rosé and fine dining is recommended. Thanks to the hotel’s family-friendly vibe, eating in jeans and a jacket inside the superb Table de Pierre restaurant, or outside on its poolside terrace, is completely acceptable. Many guestrooms were renovated in 2017. The surrounding gardens loop around the pool and are dotted with wooden cabanas, each one with a linen canopy roof that can be pulled shut for a sneaky snooze.
