Hôtel Restaurant La Casa Mia is the type of small and cozy property that gives the big chains a bad name by comparison. More akin to a guest house or private villa opened up to friends, it sits just back from the sandy shoreline in what has fast become one of Sainte-Maxime’s most desirable addresses-la Nartelle. This means immediate beach access for sun seekers who prefer their Mediterranean fix without using a car. The place operates equally as much restaurant (frequently packed with locals eating Italian-Mediterranean cuisine out on the terrace) as hotel and manages to be laid-back and unpretentious while still delivering serious “Dolce Vita” vibes from this quieter side rival across bay buzz-and-blingy Saint-Tropez.

Quick Summary - Hôtel Restaurant La Casa Mia

  • ✓ It will take some time for a beach lover to discover the location because it lies just meters away from one of the best sandy beaches in the area, La Nartelle.
  • ✓ Describing is much easier when somebody has already found his dinner: Seafood and Italian specialties are high on quality here; meanwhile, fresh food seems to be emphasized more.
  • ✓ Most rooms have balconies or terraces with very nice views over the sea and Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
  • ✓ Free private parking is available. That is a total luxury in the Côte d'Azur, known for difficult and expensive parkings.
  • ✓ It has a warm, family-run atmosphere. Personal service. Often complimented for their welcoming demeanor staff.
  • × The hotel is located approximately 2-3km outside the center of Sainte-Maxime (the Port). You cannot easily walk down to the main town where all the night shopping action takes place. A car or shuttle is needed and available.
  • × It is near enough to the coastal road that, in high summer traffic boom, some front rooms might share a bit part of that noise.
  • × Typically, there is no elevator in the building which can be a real pain if you are laden with heavy bags or have mobility issues.
  • × Rooms can be on the smaller side, typical of older French seaside properties.

Deep Dive - Hôtel Restaurant La Casa Mia

  • Value for Money Value is strong. You pay for the proximity to the beach and the view, which would cost double across the bay in Saint-Tropez.
  • Service Quality Friendly and genuine. None of that stiff upper lip stays here, in the service DNA. Real hospitality instead.
  • Hotel Location A 5/5 location for beach access but only a 3/5 location for getting into town’s heart and soul. What’s your priority?
  • Area Beautiful pine trees, sand, blue sea—quintessential Riviera landscape.
  • Cleanliness Level Well maintained. No flamboyance about it; just obviously well kept both in rooms and restaurant area.
  • Breakfast Food is a major draw. The restaurant is a destination in itself, known for generous portions and flavor.
