What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The resort feels more like a residence than a hotel, a vastly spacious residence, extravagantly decorated, with every imaginable luxury accounted for.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched above the coastline in Gassin, the villa is five minutes by private shuttle from central Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne Beach.
The rooms
Rooms feature white marble bathrooms, underfloor heating, and private terraces opening toward pine-covered gardens or the sparkling bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 300-square-metre heated pool is lined with cushioned daybeds looking out across the bay.
The gym
Glass doors open directly onto the pool terrace, where Technogym cardio machines face the sea.
The spa
Dedicated treatment rooms tucked inside the villa offer facials and massages using Niance and Lancaster skincare.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Terrace tables at Le Belrose overlook the bay at dinner, and Le Méditerranée serves fresh lunches beside the pool.
How it began
Designed in the style of an Italian Renaissance villa, the estate was refurbished to pair old-world Riviera charm with modern comforts.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
