Villa Palmier, Escalet, nr. St. Tropez

This stunning and tranquil house is set in an idyllic private domain in the hills of St. Tropez above the bay of Escalet. Overlooking vineyards and woods down towards the sea, the house has breathtaking views and is only a short (but steep) walk down to Escalet beach. The perfect base for those who love the glamour of St. Tropez but want first class relaxation, not too near to the action! The beach clubs of Pampelonne are only about seven minutes’ drive away and the Place des Lices, market only 10 to 15 minutes depending on the traffic.

Decorated recently to a high and extremely elegant standard, the house is contemporary but extremely comfortable, spacious and light. The villa is all about outside living with very good reception areas inside flowing directly out to the terrace with comfy outside sofas and chairs and a large outside dining table under the shade of a vine-covered pergola. The infinity pool is surrounded by very good quality sun loungers but there are plenty of shady areas to retreat to with a book or a drink if the sun just gets too much.

The master bedroom suite is on the top floor and completely private with its own comfortably furnished, wrap-around terrace and a beautiful mahogany panelled bath and shower room. There are a further three ensuite bedrooms plus a further internal double bedroom which is ideal for children with four luxury bunk beds and dual access leading from two other ensuite bedrooms – perfect for families or those with additional guests.

The grounds of the house are beautifully maintained with terraced olive groves and the pool overlooks the countryside and the sea. The perfect getaway in St. Tropez.
