Villa St Paul De Vence - SPDV101

Villa St. Maxime, in Saint Paul de Vence, is a contemporary six‑bedroom villa set in extensive private grounds just beneath the medieval ramparts of Saint‑Paul‑de‑Vence, one of the world’s most famous art villages and a discreet hideaway for politicians and celebrities. From the terraces and the large private pool, you look out over the Loup valley towards the Mediterranean, with the old village just a short walk above you.

Tall hedges and landscaped gardens enclose the pool, pétanque court and wide terraces, creating a rare feeling of privacy so close to the village. It is approximately a 7‑minute walk into Saint‑Paul‑de‑Vence for galleries, cafés and dinner, and an easy stroll back to the quiet of your own property.

Inside, Villa Saint Maxime is filled with light and natural coolness from pale stone and Carrara marble on the floors and walls. A dramatic retractable glass roof and thoughtful architectural details give the central living area an almost “on the deck of a ship” feeling; there is even a telescope to scan the horizon and look out towards the Mediterranean. The style is contemporary and comfortable, rooted in Provençal character rather than formal hotel luxury. Over the years, the villa has quietly hosted politicians, actors, directors, writers and composers seeking space, light and discretion.

On the lower level, a cosy home‑cinema area provides a private space for movie nights and relaxed time together after a day by the pool or in the village.

The house offers six ensuite bedrooms (two suites, two sea‑view rooms and two garden‑view rooms), all finished to a high standard and fully stocked with linens, towels and essentials.

Outside, the pool, terraces, pétanque court and gardens give you plenty of space to spread out: spend the morning by the water, play a game of pétanque in the late afternoon, wander up to the village, then come back for an al fresco dinner and a glass of local wine under the Provençal sky. The property is best suited to adults and older teenagers and is not suitable for small children.
