Villa St Maxime

This is a beautiful property, with a large swimming pool and gardens for relaxing, in addition to outside spaces. Our room was on the small side, though comfortable, with a side view over the hills from a small patio. The village is a 15-minute walk from the property, making access easy. The host was pleasant and helpful.

Villa St. Maxime is my absolutely favorite place to stay in the world. This was not my first visit and it won't be my last! The location is great. It's just a few minutes walk to the village of St. Paul - with beautiful views of the walled village along the way and the Chagall mosaic on the wall of the local school. It's also a central location to all the wonderful towns along the coast - Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco. The villa itself is a beautiful and beautifully designed modern building with a lovely terrace, large infinity pool and common areas. The views from the terrace and the rooms is exceptional - one way is the walled village of St. Paul and the other way looks down to the Mediterranean itself. I find the view mesmerizing and good for the soul. The rooms are large, clean, comfortable and well laid out - all the comforts of home. The beds are big and comfortable. There are many nice touches - lots of pillows, a luggage stand, small magnifying mirrors in the bathroom, good WiFi, TV. Breakfast is so much better than the continental breakfasts often found in Europe. I loved the omelets! I would highly recommend a stay the Villa St. Maxime!

We spent 3 nights in a Seaview unit with terrace. The room is very comfortable and so is the bathroom, but it could use some shelves or a cabinet for toiletry storage. Th e terrace is wonderful with a view up to St Paul and out to the sea. It also overlooks the beautiful pool and patio where breakfast is served. Ann is a very gracious hostess and brought us a complimentary glass of wine on our arrival. Breakfast is very nice and includes eggs prepared your way. The location is wonderful as it is the closest hotel to the village. A great place to stay.

I was fortunate to return to Villa St. Maxime a few weeks ago and found it to be the same beautiful, elegant small hotel that I have visited before. It is a gem of a place with splendid views of the hills and the sea in the distance. Sitting on the lovely terrace above the most inviting, huge swimming pool while enjoying breakfast, or having a complimentary glass of wine or cocktail in the evening with the owner Ann and other guests is one of the many wonderful features of the hotel. Each of the six rooms is different and there is a spacious common area on a couple of different levels with marble floors, large glass windows and doors leading to the terrace. It is hard, really, to leave this enchanting place but nearby is the lovely hill top village of St. Paul de Vence, many restaurants, and a couple of museums, all within walking distance. I will return as so many other guests do.

This is a hidden jewel of a place. It is beautifully calm, exquisitely luxurious yet totally unpretentious. You know there are other guests, yet you never see them! So it feels like the place is your own. Charming hosts complete the picture of this special place. We will be place, for sure.

Our 2nd visit to Villa St Maxim, this time using the whole house for a big family birthday celebration. Very high quality of accommodation, particularly the incredible master suite! Massive swimming pool, great gardens and spectacular views. The 5 minute walk to St Paul is easy (even for the elderly in our group) which makes popping in and out very easy. Highly recommended 👍
