What I love the most about the beautiful village of La Croix-Valmer is the vibes. Local, loving people, quiet, but not so quiet, especially in the center where we can have public beaches, pizza at ''Super Pizza Restaurant'' and any other restaurants, Boulangerie and ''Spar'' Supermarkt. Also, we can hike (my partner and I went for a hike) from Plage l'Escalet to Plage Gigaro. It was so hot in the summer, but we could always have a skin dip and swim along the way. The breathtaking panorama along the way was absolutely worth it!! Finally, we did wine testing (Dégustation de Vins) at Domaine Tropez. Very nice and very recommended! and visited Port Grimaud and a beautiful full-of-flower village nearby called ''Gassin'' :)

This is a most lovely destination. Excellent chef although the style of food has shifted from Provencal tastes to more generic tastes. The campus is lovely, the rooms both modern and traditional if that is possible. The pool on the entry ground level is beautiful with a view out over the Mediterranean sea where you can also eat meals overlooking the pool and the sea as you eat. One warning. While the ground floor entry that contains the restaurant Vista, the bar and the pool area plus an outside bar space, you have to navigate a series to stairs to access the rooms and suites. There is an elevator for some of them that face the 2nd lap pool with rooms built into the hillside that look over the valley and the pool area and the rooms on the opposite side. But this is the are for health and fitness, so there is noise from the pounding beat of music in the gym, the noise of swimmers and instructors shouting directions etc. Those rooms are wheel chair and those challenged with ambulatory problems via that elevator and some rooms are designed for those in wheel chairs. Our room had not been checked after being unused over the winter so many shower controls, WC etc had controls that were not working and issues with the AC. But to give credit, the administration got right on the issues and they were corrected immediately thanks to the delightful woman who made up the room who even make up the sun chase longue on the covered veranda outside the room as a bed for me. There were light cotton curtains that gave privacy and kept out flying bugs so it was a lovely indoor/outdoor experience. So I can recommend this marvelous destination that is open all year long, great food and friendly and efficient service on all levels plus it is perfect for those seeking health and beauty treatments and programs both in the health center and outside for hiking, biking and other activities with help on planning.

This small town has most facilities and some good eating places in town and nearby. It is close to the most fabulous family beaches at Gigaro and Debarquement. Cavalier-sur-Mer and St Tropez are worth visits as is Ste Maxime, but be prepared for heavy traffic! If staying a while visit the local police to get a weekly parking permit. This is good value and relieves the stress of deciding how long to pay for. You need a driving licence and your car registration document.

It’s a small town, and in itself not very exciting, has all neccessities though (bakery, supermarkets, restaurants, small shops) . It’s a great base to travel the half Island of St Tropez. Especially the beaches at the south coast are lovely, clean and very different from each other - so a lot to experience.
