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.

Client Comments

We had a truly wonderful holiday at Villa Ilana! Stuart enjoyed celebrating his 50th birthday there looking at the amazing views.  South France Villas Client August 2022
We absolutely loved the villa. The views are breathtaking, the house was clean and well equipped. It is so close to everything it serves as a wonderful home base. Sainte Maxime is such a lovely amazing place and to stay in such a villa was a dream. We are definitely returning.South France Villas Client June 2022
The villa was amazing and very well equipped. We could not ask for more.Mr W, South France Villas Client August 2019
Beautiful villa with an infinity pool and view of the Bay of St. Tropez. The rooms and beds are quite comfortable. It has modern appliances but the clothes dryer was not working when we were there. We also had a problem with wifi and TV but owners notified us of the problem and did what they could to have it fixed. All in all it was a great experience and the hosts were responsive and accomodating. There was a large damage deposit (£1000) which was refunded promptly but if you are from the US, you lose money on the transfers and exchange. I would stay at this property again. South France Villas client May 2019

Beautifully presented and maintained , very well equipped and obviously the location is great. Thank you very much. Mr B, South France Villa client July 2018

We had a super time and loved your house in Sainte Maxime. We have stayed in a number of Holiday Villa’s and this was definitely our favourite. Beautifully presented and maintained , very well equipped and obviously the location is great. Thank you very much.Derek, July/August 2018
The villa was in an excellent location with the most stunning views towards St Tropez bay. It had lovely outside space with a wonderful pool. The villa itself was spacious and clean although the barbecue area was in need of some outside lighting for cooking in the evening. (The owner is looking at the lighting for darker evenings).Mr F, September 2017
Superb. A fantastic week.Mr M, August 2017
We very much enjoyed our stay in Sainte Maxim and Villa Ilana. The villa was brilliant and we particularly enjoyed the terrace, with stunning views and a very nice pool area. You are lucky to own such a fabulous place.  Jon, August 2016
This is by far the cleanest villa I have ever rented and we normally rent at this level. Anna prepared the house superbly for our arrival and the plethora of towels and sheets was superb. The house was very relaxing and totally as the photos, the owner was super nice and answered any questions and the staff at South France Villas have been amazing helping address any issues. Would recommend this property and company very highly, you will have a super time. Suzi, August 2016
