Your ideal base for discovering the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
A peaceful address in the Var backcountry, a stone’s throw from the most beautiful beaches of the Côte d’Azur.
La Sarrazine welcomes you to a collection of 4 charming apartments, ideally located in the hilltop village of La Garde-Freinet, in the heart of the Massif des Maures. Whether you’re looking for accommodation in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez for a romantic getaway or an escape with friends, our residence offers the perfect balance between the tranquillity of authentic Provence and immediate proximity to the most sought-after sites of the Côte d’Azur.
Far from the bustle of the coast in high season, yet just twenty minutes from Saint-Tropez and its legendary beaches, La Garde-Freinet is one of the most sought-after destinations for travellers who want to enjoy the gulf while recharging in a preserved natural setting. Our apartments for rent in La Garde-Freinet are designed for discerning visitors: refined comfort, authentic Provençal décor, and every service needed to make your stay in the Var a success.
Each apartment enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the village, just steps from the shops, restaurants and the Provençal market. You get the best of both worlds: the Mediterranean art of living every day, and quick access to the must-sees of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez — Sainte-Maxime, Grimaud, Port-Grimaud, Cogolin, Gassin, Ramatuelle and, of course, the beaches of Pampelonne.
Choosing to stay at La Sarrazine means choosing a stay on a human scale. With only 4 apartments, our residence is nothing like a large, impersonal hotel complex: here, every traveller is welcomed with care and advised on the best beaches, the season’s hiking trails, or the wine estates not to be missed. This family feel, combined with an exceptional location in the Var, is why our guests return season after season for their holidays in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
Whether you come for a long beach week in the height of summer, an autumn weekend around the chestnut festival, or a quiet spring stay when the Massif des Maures is covered in blossoming mimosa, our address adapts to every plan. Renting an apartment rather than a hotel room also gives you complete freedom: prepare your meals with fresh market produce, entertain, and live at your own pace, just like home — but in Provence, facing the most beautiful gulf in the Mediterranean.

The village
La Garde-Freinet, jewel of the Var backcountry
Perched at over 350 metres above sea level, the village of La Garde-Freinet overlooks the Maures plain and offers exceptional panoramas across the wooded hills and, on a clear day, all the way to the sea. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in the Var, it charms with its authenticity: cobbled streets, ochre-toned façades, ancient fountains and small squares shaded by plane trees.
The famous Provençal market, held several times a week, is a must. There you’ll find local produce, olive oil, Maures honey, goat cheeses, sun-ripened fruit and local crafts. La Garde-Freinet is also renowned for its chestnut, celebrated each autumn at the dedicated festival.
This warm, lively village atmosphere makes all the difference: by choosing an apartment in La Garde-Freinet rather than a hotel on the coast, you taste the real Provence — that of morning markets, terrace aperitifs and peaceful evenings away from the crowds.
The history of La Garde-Freinet dates back to the Middle Ages: the remains of Fort Freinet, perched on the heights, bear witness to the site’s medieval past and today offer a magnificent walk up to a natural viewpoint. The village long lived from cork oak and chestnut, two emblematic resources of the Massif des Maures still found in local crafts and cuisine. This living heritage gives La Garde-Freinet a special soul, at once preserved and welcoming to visitors.
On a practical note, the village has everything you need for a worry-free stay: bakeries, fine-food shops, a mini-market, pharmacy, cafés, restaurants and shaded terraces. You don’t need to take your car for daily life — a rare and precious asset for accommodation in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, where most rentals require long drives for the slightest errand.
