Villa Santo Massimo

About this property

Set within an exclusive, gated residence just above Sainte-Maxime, Villa Santo Massimo is a remarkable Mediterranean escape with glorious sea views across to Saint-Tropez. Elevated and elegantly designed, the villa offers refined summer living just a fifteen-minute stroll from vibrant café culture and the charm of the Côte d’Azur.

Inside, contemporary design meets comfort across three spacious levels, all fully air-conditioned. A sleek, open-plan kitchen and lounge area invites relaxed gatherings, while the shaded dining terrace and private heated infinity pool create a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Five attractive bedrooms offer versatility for families or groups, including a top-floor master bedroom with its own panoramic terrace, perfect for evening drinks while the Saint-Tropez fireworks sparkle across the bay.

Manicured gardens surround the villa, framed by olive trees, palms and thoughtfully curated landscaping. There’s plenty of space to unwind, whether sunbathing poolside, enjoying a long lunch in the shade or reading in the swing seat on the immaculate artificial lawn.

A leisurely stroll away lies the gentle bustle of Sainte-Maxime, a welcoming coastal town that blends Provençal authenticity with Riviera flair. Meander through cobbled streets in the old town, visit artisan boutiques or sip rosé along the waterfront promenade.

The area’s beaches offer everything from water sports to sunbathing, while the nearby Massif des Maures beckons with hiking trails and panoramic views. Saint-Tropez and Port Grimaud are all within easy reach by ferry across the bay.

Whether gathering with family or seeking a stylish retreat with friends, Villa Santo Massimo is a place where summer days stretch long into golden evenings, and every moment feels distinctly Mediterranean.

Perched in an exclusive gated residence overlooking the Mediterranean, this beautiful villa on the edge of Sainte-Maxime offers a perfect blend of convenience and sophistication. With sweeping sea views and easy access to the seaside town and glorious beaches, it's a superb base from which to experience the beauty and culture of the French Riviera.

A stroll from the property brings you to a local boulangerie, perfect for your morning croissants, and a small supermarket just ten minutes away on foot ensures daily essentials are within easy reach. The heart of Sainte-Maxime, brimming with vibrant café-bars and lovely restaurants, is a 1.5km walk (downhill) or drive, offering everything from relaxed beachfront dining to refined Provençal cuisine.

Sainte-Maxime itself is a treasure trove of coastal charm. Wander through the narrow lanes of the old town, where traditional houses and boutique shops create a postcard-perfect scene. The promenade beckons at sunset, with panoramic views across the bay to Saint-Tropez. For sunseekers, pristine beaches such as Plage de la Nartelle and Plage des Elephants promise both lively watersports and quiet corners for relaxation, all within a short drive.

Beyond the delights of Sainte-Maxime itself, the surrounding area offers a wealth of unforgettable experiences. Nature lovers will delight in the tranquil Jardin Botanique des Myrtes or take to the nearby trails of the Massif des Maures for panoramic hikes and cycling adventures.

Hop aboard the local ferry for a scenic crossing across the bay to glamorous Saint-Tropez, ideal for a day of boutique shopping and people-watching by the harbour. Slightly closer to home, discover the enchanting marina of Port Grimaud, often dubbed the “Venice of Provence,” with its pastel-coloured houses and winding canals. Just above, the medieval village of Grimaud invites you to explore its cobbled lanes, ancient château ruins and sweeping views over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
