“Peter and Alison Dow's handsome villa – built in 1973 in traditional Provencal style – has an unbeatable location: it's a 10-minute walk to the beach and a 10-minute drive to the town. Arranged around a courtyard and glorious pool, it is above all a family home, with a welcoming atmosphere and nine imaginatively decorated rooms. You breakfast beside the pool and, if you can't face going out in the evening, you can order one of 'Peter's (delicious) platters'. The Dows "try to balance friendliness with efficiency". They have succeeded in spades.”
They say
“The Pavillon de Pampelonne is an oasis of tranquillity next to Pampelonne beach, between the hustle and bustle of St Tropez, one of the world’s greatest holiday destinations and the Provencal hilltop village of Ramatuelle.
Owned by British couple Alison and Peter Dow, the Pavillon de Pampelonne is a traditionan Provencal villa hotel with a large terrace and heated pool. Set in grounds with mature trees, fountains and beautiful gardens and with private parking and outdoor cinema, the ‘Residence’ is ideal for a quiet afternoon away from the beach and enchanting when floodlit for the evening.
Each of the eight bedrooms or suites are decorated with a charm and personality of their own. They all have king size beds, en suite bathrooms, satellite TV, Wifi and air conditioning.
Breakfast is included, lunch and dinner is available on request and the ‘honesty bar’ is open all day.”
