“A Beautiful Place in a Beautiful Part of the World”

Villa St. Maxime

The Villa St. Maxime is a beautiful villa located in the hills overlooking the Med. The hosts John and Ann were extremely gracious and made us feel extremely welcome in a very relaxed and kind manner.
Our room was very nice and spotlessly clean. The open area in the Villa was beautiful and on the patio there is a spectacular view of the area. The swimming pool looked inviting, but during April the temperature is between 15-22C, a little chilly for a dip.
Ask John to teach you how to open a champagne bottle with a sword!
The breakfasts were very nicely done, with cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt and rolls being served. In addition, the Villa includes several hot egg dishes which are delicious.
The Villa is located within a 10 minute walk of the ancient hilltop town of St. Paul. There you will find numerous art galleries, restaurants and a view overlooking the valley that is spectacular.
My wife and I found the location perfect as a staging point for day trips around the area. Nice, Antibes, Cannes, and Monaco are within a short 15-45 minute drive away. I would recommend a rental car, however, bus service is readily available a short walk away that will take you to the train station which will open up the entire Cote D'Azur area.
With the A8 tollway a 10 minute drive away, it is quite easy to explore much further abroad. This opens up a day trip to Genoa in Italy or Orange in Provence and all points in between.
We highly recommend this lovely destination.

This is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast in a beautiful part of the world. The decor is wonderful, the view of the Mediterranean is spectacular and Ann & John's hospitality is fantastic. We have stayed here before and will definitely be back.

Villa St Maxime lived up to its reputation and more!
Accomodation is superb but the whole experience is enhanced by the attentive hosts Ann and John + all the staff. A holiday here is something to be remembered with great pleasure.
The Villa's public rooms and terraces are beautiful with views across the valley and down to the sea. St Paul is a short walk uphill and any trips further afield can be made easily by the local bus which travels from Vence to Nice for the cost of 1euro!
We found our way to Monaco and back, down to Antibes and up to Vence without the hassle of the hired car and essential sat nav.
This is a very special place and nobody will be disappointed if Villa St Maxime is their choice.

We stayed here for three nights recently. Hosts and owners Ann and John are helpful and entertaining, and attract an interesting clientele. Great location, just down the hill from the charming walled medieval enclave of St Paul de Vence. Comfortable, charming rooms with great views.

All in all, just about perfect for a restful stay in the Cote-d'Azur.

“A little piece of heaven”

My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay in a seaview room at the Villa. The setting of the Villa is just spectacular - the views are amazing and the Villa very comfortable and well furnished and spotlessly clean. The owners and hosts Ann & John made us feel very at home. At the time of our stay some of their friends were staying at the Villa but we were still made to feel very welcome and asked to join the party at pre-dinner drinks. We have travelled a great deal and it is unusual to find a place that you want to return to and also not to find any fault with. If I was to be really negative I would say that you can hear some traffic noise from the main road on which the Villa is situated. However, this was not a problem at nightime. The village has wonderful restaurants and has a charm all of it's own - as does the Villa! When I visit the South of France again a stay at the Villa will most definitely be on my itinerary
