Our historic village house offers families and friends an authentic French seaside experience in the heart of beloved Sainte-Maxime. It’s off the usual path enough that hearing English on the streets is rare. Experience local immersion and French joie de vivre at its best!
The home embodies classic French Riviera style with an open floor plan, vintage terra-cotta floors, six sets of French doors on both sides of the house, and vibrant traditional Provence shutters.
The layout of the home is brilliant and it maximizes every bit of space. A light-filled living room, dining area with a large pedestal table, kitchen and powder room are located on the second floor. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable home-away-from-home, including a beautiful Lacanche gas stove. The walls are freshly painted throughout the entire house and the furnishings are new and modern. Natural sunlight illuminates the living area. Open the French doors to feel the seaside breeze, peek at the ocean, observe village life, and enjoy the magical sunsets over a glass of wine. Vaulted ceilings and a traditional wood-burning fireplace compliment this space, making it a perfect area to entertain or gather before a night out.
Two bedrooms and one bathroom are tucked away downstairs at the back of the house with access to a private patio. The bedrooms offer plenty of storage space for personal items with shelves and hanging space on both sides of each bed. Note that each bedroom has a full-sized bed that cannot be separated into twin beds. Linens and bed pillows are crisp with high thread count sheets and cozy comforters. The bedrooms have soft rugs and individual heater/air conditioning units to ensure comfort through the seasons. The bathrooms include locally-sourced hand soap and French-made body wash.
A walk to the beach takes a few minutes and we have beach umbrellas, chairs and towels for you to take with you. Or hop on the ferry to the glitz and glamour of St. Tropez. The ferry is just down the road, about a three-minute walk. There is also a casino and plenty of shops and restaurants to entertain you.
There is Internet in the house. In addition, there is a full sofa-bed in the living room that can comfortably sleep an additional 1-2 people.
There is no parking at the house except if you have a very small car, like a smart or fiat 500. There are paid parking lots and street parking in the village.
No smoking and no pets. The stairs to the main living floor are steep and there is a balcony overlooking the village; we recommend the home for families with children who are 8 and up.
The House is located 19km from the TGV station at St. Raphael. (4h 45 from Paris) and a bus from the station brings you to the tourist office in Ste Maxime, which is only a 3-minute walk from the house. There is also a TGV station at Les Arcs, which is about 35 km away. From here you would need to arrange a taxi. We are 100 km from Nice (1 hour and 10 minute drive) and 150 Km from Marseille airports.
