Hotel Brise de Mer provided a nice base in St. Raphael. Although it's not actually on the beach, its being set one street back provided a quiet location with a garden and pool. It's a fifteen minute walk to St. Raphael's shops, train station and principal sandy beach area but don't overlook the Santa Lucia marina area much closer by. There are about a dozen restaurants there including excellent seafood spots and also a grocery and some shops.
The hotel's interior is pretty bland but the staff was very helpful. We able to get an excellent meal at the hotel's restaurant although we arrived a bit late. The breakfast there was pleasant.There was secure parking in back of the hotel which isn't always easy to find in the Cote d'Azur towns.
