Cobbled lane with Provençal stone houses – discover the villages around Saint-Tropez

OUR FAQ

Do I need a car during a stay in Saint-Tropez?

A car is recommended to enjoy the Pampelonne beaches and nearby villages such as Ramatuelle and Gassin, which have limited public transport. In July and August, traffic and parking in central Saint-Tropez can be difficult. The JK House concierge can arrange a rental car or a private driver.

Why book directly with JK House?

When you book directly with JK House, you have a dedicated advisor who knows the villa and Saint-Tropez, from the first conversation until you leave. Our local team welcomes guests on site, and our concierge starts organising your stay as soon as the booking is confirmed. You ask your questions directly to the people who manage the villa.

How far in advance should I book a villa in Saint-Tropez?

For July and August, we recommend booking your villa several months in advance, as the most sought-after villas in Saint-Tropez are reserved early. For spring, June or September, there is usually a wider choice. Contact a JK House advisor as soon as your dates are set to check availability.

Where are JK House villas located?

JK House villas are located in Saint-Tropez and in the neighbouring villages of the peninsula, such as Ramatuelle and Gassin. Each villa page shows its location and the distance to the village and the beaches. Your advisor will guide you to the area that suits your stay: close to the harbour, peaceful, with a sea view or near the Pampelonne beaches.

We offer a curated collection of villas with private pools in Saint-Tropez and the surrounding area, with a concierge service available 24/7 throughout your stay.

Is the tourist tax included in the price?

No. The Saint-Tropez tourist tax is charged per person per night and is not included in the rental price. It is added to your quote, so you know the total amount before you book.

Should I take out cancellation insurance?

We recommend taking out cancellation insurance, especially for a high-season stay in Saint-Tropez. It protects your stay against unforeseen events that the cancellation terms of the rental agreement do not cover.
