Nearby Attractions & Activities
In the heart of the French Riviera, Ste Maxime lies at the foot of the Massif des Maures in the bay of the Gulf of St Tropez in one of the most famous holiday spots in the South of France. The town has fine sandy beaches, a marina and pretty cobbled streets where you can find many restaurants, bars and shops selling holiday items and Mediterranean artefacts.

The stunning stretch of the South of France coastline between St Maxime and St Tropez boasts breath-taking scenery with sea water of azur blue against the backdrop of the craggy Cezannesque pines. To the west is the Presqu'île de Giens, an isthmus extending far into the Mediterranean from Hyères-les-Palmiers, originally the gateway for the 13th century crusaders.

This part of the South of France offers some of the Mediterranean's best beaches (well-maintained with superb beach front cafés and restaurants) as well as some of the most picturesque resorts. A favourite private beach called Prao is only 5 minutes drive from the house but basically all beaches are within a 5 minute drive from the house along the coastal road.

Local vineyards, colourful markets, reasonably-priced restaurants as well as some reputed Michelin star gourmet ones, stunning scenery and splendid sunsets there is never enough time to explore all the delights this region has to offer.
