Day Three

Waking up to the sound of fountains and bird chirping, the dawn of day two had arrived. Replenished and prepared, fuelled with fresh croissants and strong coffee, we made a prompt departure from the Kraft estate to visit two exceptional properties in the Saint Tropez region. Each property demonstrating true luxury from swimming pool to bedrooms and everything in between.

In between the two signature villas offered for sale by Sotheby’s International Realty France & Monaco, we took a long lunch on the terrace of the legendary ‘Le Sénéquier’ in St Tropez and soaked in the unique atmosphere.

After more winding roads, blissful scenery and the sound of eight vintage engines carrying our group, we checked into the legendary "La Bastide de Saint-Tropez", an elegant Mediterranean home. Far from the summer crowds, this marvellous mansion with its four converted Provençal farmhouses invites you to unwind in the heart of its paradisiacal park full of exotic fragrances.

After relaxation at the hotel, we assembled in full black-tie attire for an al-fresco, dinner, cocktails and cigars at a very special venue; “the signature villa”, designed by Stephanie Coutas. The crew enjoyed an elevated BBQ dinner, by caterers MD Traiteur; who cooked on the open fire with incredible theatre. Significant levels of Billecart-Salmon champagne stocks were depleted, ash piled high from Alexander Kraft x EGM cigars and black-ties were generously loosened as we slipped well into the evening of day two.
