We have used this hotel for many years enjoying great food and service. Unfortunately we took some friends who are not French speaking, or aquanted with French menus. The normally good staff could not be less interested in waiting for explanations etc; whereafter the service and also the food quality deteriorated to a point of embarrassment. this is quite norrnall... more

We stayed 2 nights at the La Ponche. Our suite had a rooftop balcony which was great. The hotel is lovely, small and with personal service. We were very happy with our room and the servcie received. The only sightly negative comment I would make is that I thought the breakfast was overpriced for what you get compared with other... more

I found this hotel in the Frommer's guide. It's just a lovely hotel. The staff is very helpful & attentive. We stayed in a room with 3 people (one king bed & one rollaway). We had more than enough room & the bathroom was huge. We had a cute side view of the sea from our room. The breakfast is... more

The location is excellent (right in the middle of St Tropez on a quiet street - but still close to the marina), the staff are really helpful and there is a... more

My wife and I recently return from a trip to the South of France. We stayed in St. Tropez at the Hotel La Ponche for two nights. The hotel is incredibly charming, like a B&B from times past. The hotel is located on this small out of the way street, next to water and surrounded by a number of small... more

After several infuriating laps of St Tropez old town by car in the dark we gave up, parked the car where we thought the hotel should be and set off on foot to find it. Once found it turned out to be a bright, clean and very well kept hotel right in the old town, on the sea. A stone's... more
