L'Escalet Villa, Saint Tropez

Supreme view over the Mediterranean Sea. Nestled between rocky hillsides, lush forests and crystal clear waters, this brand-new (2012) getaway is perched atop a hillside. Located in l'Escalet, this intimate natural oasis is just ten minutes from the famous Pampelonne beaches and St. Tropez nightlife.

Only a five minute walk from the water’s edge, this architectural beauty reconnects you with the outdoors while affording all the comforts of home. An elevator brings you up to the 5-bedroom house. Step inside the fully equipped, open concept kitchen, where a 180-degree view of the sea makes cooking a pleasure. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open completely flood the kitchen and living room with natural light.

Infinity pool whose stillness mirrors the subtle details of the sky. Step out onto the 180-square-metre terrace with a 40-square-meter infinity pool. Down the steps, a pebble beach awaits and protected pathways let you walk along the sea for miles. Five minutes away, you come to a sandy beach.

5 bedrooms for up to 10 people. At the end of the day, collapse into plush pillows and duvets in one of five bedrooms – four located upstairs and one on the main floor. Three bedrooms offer a stunning view over the sea; one is ideal for 2-3 children plus caregiver with a single bed, double bed and bathtub. Every room has independent access, a bathroom, key or code lock and two rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs.
