Villa Belrose is located in an absolutely peaceful position in Gassin, a district of villas overlooking Saint-Tropez, is indeed more a villa than a hotel. The private character of the house with its view of the ocean makes it possible to enjoy an atmospheric intimacy which is as ideal a refuge for the holidaymaker as it is for the guest seeking to work in peace and quiet away from the city and business environment.

Frequent travelers who are familiar with the great world of luxury hotels will easily recognize the architectural references incorporated in this villa, which was built in 1997: the arrival scenery, for instance, which is based on the Brenner’s Park Hotel under the large drapes of the canopy, providing a harmonious entry to the entire experience of the hotel: the paradox of the generous and yet not overbearing décor which reflects a sense of personal homeliness and gives the hotel its own special atmosphere.

The rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished: the drapes nestle close to the windows in a strong arrangement of folds. Antique furniture and valuable paintings, a carpet which is as soft as down and marble bathrooms give a hint of overwhelming luxury, but that is exactly what it is not: the art of the Althoff designers resides in what they omit. And as a result, the decorative accessories in the rooms and suites are so skillfully measured that the elegance and splendor of the materials, colors and furniture have a natural effect. Nevertheless, high technology has also found its place: fax, phone, air conditioning and under floor heating ensure that the temperature is balanced at any time of the year.
