Surveying the Gulf of St Tropez from a cypress-studded hillside in Gassin, Althoff Villa Belrose leans into luxury with a whisper, not a shout. Stays here channel the Côte d’Azur lifestyle of yesteryear, where chirping cicadas soundtrack long lunches on the terrace, the scent of coastal pine hangs over the pools and classically beautiful interiors take inspiration from their Mediterranean locale.

Our favourite rooms

Every room follows the same fresh-faced design scheme, with sage greens, sea blues and coral reds that nod to the Riviera’s natural palette. With their generous furnished terraces and Mediterranean views, the Deluxe Sea View Rooms set you up for optimal Côte d’Azur living, offering the chance for lunch in the sun and moonlit dinners à deux. If you’re travelling with the whole gang in tow, go for the Superior Double Pool or Garden Rooms, either of which can fit an extra bed.

Poolside

There’s a duo of heated pools on Villa Belrose’s sprawling sun terrace: a 25-metre option primed for serious swimmers and a circular ‘relaxation’ pool better suited to lounging, bronzing and posing, preferably with a glass of rosé in hand. From both, you can survey the pine-studded hillside, sparkling gulf and St Tropez in the distance. Shaded cabanas, day-beds and sunloungers are arranged around the terrace and there are tables set up for poolside dining.

Spa

You can book in for a host of massages, facials and body treatments at the small but stress-busting spa, where the therapists use products from high-tech Swiss skincare brand Niance. A compact gym on the pool level can keep your workout regime on track.

Packing tips

A straw beach basket, forever associated with Riviera royalty like Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin.

Food and Drink

Top Table

At Le Belrose, get as close to the front of the terrace as you can. At Le Mediterranée, go for the tables beneath the pergola.

Dress Code

Covered swimwear serves for casual Le Mediterranée. Glamorous threads with optional layering will help you capitalise on evening suppers alfresco on the terrace at Le Belrose.

Hotel restaurant

Chef Jimmy Coutel helms the two restaurants, primed for dining en plein air thanks to their large, sea-facing terraces. Fine-dining spot Le Belrose is a dinner-only affair, serving refined Gallic classics that suit the balmy weather to a T: poached Breton langoustine stuffed zucchini flowers; Turbot cooked with sweet garlic; thinly sliced spiny lobster with peach and verbena. There are two tasting menus, the traditional ‘Farigoule’ and the ‘Signature’ menu, where Coutel unleashes the full force of his creativity. Casual poolside restaurant Le Mediterranée is more akin to a St Tropez beach club, dishing out Charolais beef burgers, whole fish cooked Provençale style and lobster rolls served on buttery brioche buns. 

Hotel bar

The bar is in the hotel’s clubby lounge, where velvet sofas and mid-century-modern lounge chairs are arranged across a checkerboard floor of cream and rouge-royal marble. Arched French windows open onto a terrace overlooking the Gulf of St Tropez, where you can sip signature cocktails and fine French wines in the sea breeze.

Last orders

Breakfast is served at Le Belrose from 7am to 11am, and dinner from 7pm to 9pm. Le Mediterranée is open for lunch from noon to 5pm. The bar serves from noon to midnight.

Room service

You can order breakfast to your door during restaurant hours for an extra charge. And room service is available around the clock.

Location

Address
Villa Belrose
Boulevard des Crêtes
Gassin
F-83580
France

Villa Belrose is in the hills just outside St Tropez, commanding a panoramic view of the sea. The town, Pampelonne Beach and the Plage de la Bouillabaisse are a five-minute drive from the hotel.

Planes

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is the closest place to touch down. Villa Belrose is a 90-minute drive from the airport; private transfers can be arranged from €350 each way.

Trains

Rail travel is an impractical option around these parts, with Gonfaron and Le-Luc-et-Le-Cannet being the nearest stations, each 50 minutes away by car from the hotel.

Automobiles

You won’t need your own set of wheels if you’re sticking to St Tropez, but a car will make it easier to reach beaches beyond the town and explore villages in the hilly hinterland. The hotel offers free valet parking; the garage fee is €30 a day. There are two charging points for EVs.

Other

Helicopters flit between Nice Côte d'Azur Airport and St Tropez in just 20 minutes. With prior arrangement, they can land in Grimaud, a 10-minute drive from the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

Sea and sand are easily reached by way of the hotel’s private shuttles, which will ferry you to and from Pampelonne, home to the lion’s share of St Tropez’s beach clubs. An alternative is the Plage de la Bouillabaisse beyond the old port, which tends to be a tad more sedate. To escape the midday heat, take refuge in the Musée de l'Annonciade, showcasing work by artists associated with St Tropez, including pointillist Paul Signac and his eminent friend Henri Matisse. The Quai Jean Jaures is the place for sundowners and people watching, and you’ll get a snapshot of Provençal life at the market at the Place de Lices (running Tuesdays and Saturdays), where traders hawk everything from antiques to artisanal olive oil. 

Local restaurants

A spiritual home of the boozy lunch, Chez Camille does a roaring trade in bouillabaisse, lobster and buttery sole meunière, served on seafront terrace that’s still styled as it was in the 1950s. For dinner, try Caprice des Deux, where chef Stéphane Avelin adds fine-dining flair to rustic Provençal dishes; book ahead for one of the tables outside in the cobbled lane. St Tropez has a glut of options for a splurge, none more worthy than three-Michelin-star La Vague d’Or. Chef Arnaud Donckele (and his team of 33 cooks) aim to capture the essence of the French coast, building menus around the region’s culinary roots.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this far-from-the-fray hotel on the French Riviera and unpacked their wicker beach bag, a full account of their Côte d’Azur break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Althoff Villa Belrose in St Tropez… 

 

Somewhere in St Tropez, a party rages. Patrons compete for waiters and the kitchen has just run out of lobster. The atmosphere tightens. Or so you imagine — for you’re up on the moonlit terrace of Althoff Villa Belrose, a Florentine-style stay in the hills of Gassin, where the clamour of high season is held at arm’s length. 

 

Here, the day unfurls slowly. A few leisurely laps in the pool, perhaps, followed by eggs Benedict on the terrasse of restaurant Le Belrose, where you watch the yachts slip by on the horizon. Once the sun is up high, you hitch a ride into town — for free, bien sur — in one of the hotel’s cars, dropping you at the legendary café Senequier before you take a pew on the Plage de la Bouillabaisse. By evening, you’re back in the hills, dining on razor clams and turbot, a glass of Provençal rosé at hand. Tomorrow, perhaps you’ll paint the town red. Perhaps…
