Bastide Shella: Authentic villa for sale in Saint-Tropez, City Center

Just five minutes from the legendary Place des Lices in Saint-Tropez, in the sought-after Carles district, stands Bastide Shella. Imagined as a tribute to the full splendour of the Tropezian art de vivre, this neo-Provençal property spans 600 m² of interior space, nestled within a 3,400 m² Mediterranean garden. Recently renovated using noble materials and driven by a desire to recreate the authentic charm of traditional bastides, it offers absolute discretion in the very heart of Saint-Tropez, combined with unrivalled accessibility.

From the moment you step inside, the architectural vision is striking: natural stone flooring, exposed timber beams, and bespoke wrought-iron finishes immerse you in a contemporary interpretation of Provençal elegance. Together, these elements bestow a warm yet resolutely authentic atmosphere upon Bastide Shella. From the expansive, light-filled living room crowned with a cathedral ceiling that highlights the beauty of the exposed beams, to the welcoming dining room opening onto the terrace, and the tastefully appointed kitchen, every space blends majesty with comfort. This seamless flow of living areas invites both entertaining and the enjoyment of gentle Tropezian days, all year round.

The main bastide houses five suites, including one with independent access via the pool house, ensuring each guest enjoys both comfort and privacy. An additional bedroom discreetly accommodates staff. The lower level has been optimised into a true lifestyle sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and wellness: a fully equipped gym, massage room, hammam, cinema room, and a refined lounge bar designed for private tastings of fine wines, showcased behind the glass doors of a beautiful wine cellar.

At Bastide Shella, the spectacle unfolds as much outdoors as within. Beneath the rustic wooden pergola, the summer dining area offers the ideal setting for long lunches and starlit evenings.

At the heart of the Mediterranean garden, lavender beds blend harmoniously with century-old olive trees, while a stone fountain and pétanque court compose a quintessential Provençal tableau. The 15-metre heated pool takes centre stage in this serene composition.

This exceptional property stands out for the quality of its renovation, its perfect balance between authenticity and modernity, and its rare location just steps from the vibrant heart of Saint-Tropez. It fulfils every expectation of a discerning investor in search of a character-filled, ready-to-move-in residence in one of the peninsula’s most exclusive and discreet neighbourhoods.
