High above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez in Gassin, Althoff Villa Belrose is arranged as an intimate Mediterranean house within terraced gardens. Its 39 rooms and suites use light fabrics, pale woods and private balconies or terraces to draw attention towards the sea and pine-covered coastline. A broad heated pool forms the centre of the property, edged by loungers and the restaurant’s open-air tables, while the spa occupies a quieter corner of the villa. The old port of Saint-Tropez lies below the hillside, visible beyond clipped hedges, palms and the ochre roofs of the estate.
