Serviced Apartments in Sainte-Maxime

One of the quieter and less well-known towns on the French Riviera, Sainte-Maxime is to many people a little gem of a destination, just across a Mediterranean bay from the much more famous St Tropez. As with many towns in the area, Sainte-Maxime was once a fishing village which has now been reinvented as a tourist destination and seaside resort. The town benefits from hot summers and warm winters and is protected from the famous cold Mistral winds by the Massif des Maures mountain range to the North. Sainte-Maxime holiday apartments are in high demand due to the town’s excellent location.

The main benefit of staying in this town is that you can venture out to such star-studded and busy locations as St Tropez and Cannes before retiring to the peace and quiet of your Sainte-Maxime holiday let. Both of these destinations are easily reached by car (St Tropez is about 20 minutes away, Cannes about an hour) or by boat, with the trip along the coast to the latter, particularly wonderful.

Originally established by monks about 1000 years ago, there are still remnants of this religious past to be seen in the town; La Tour Carrée is a tower built by monks in the early 16th century for the purpose of protecting the village from invaders. There are further fortifications dotted around the town and St Tropez has its own matching tower called the Tour du Portalet on the other side of the bay. Leaving the comfort of your Sainte-Maxime apartment rental to take a lazy stroll around the town really is a joy with so much to see.

The Old Town section of Sainte-Maxime has a number of quaint shops and markets as well as plenty of eating establishments opposite the harbor. These cafes, bistros and restaurants have a wonderful mixture of traditional French cuisine and international choices, and there is surely nothing better than watching the world go by in the South of France with a lovely meal and a glass of wine. There are a few Sainte-Maxime serviced flats in the old town area but most are in the more modern parts of town.

Other attractions are the pier with its marine shops and a more upscale restaurant, a casino with its own stretch of sandy beach and a boulodrome or pétanque where the locals play boules. When staying in a Sainte-Maxime holiday rental you can choose to make your stay as lazy or as active as you like.
