This is an exceptional 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment in Ste. Maxime on the French Riviera. My wife and I left the kids at home for a week and stayed at this apt. for 7 nights -- using Ste. Maxime as a hub for visiting other towns in the vicinity. The apartment is very nice, spacious enough for a small family, enough beds for 4 people, and also has a pullout couch for 2 more people. The view from the apartment is absolutely breathtaking -- a 180 degree view of the Mediterranean sea, and luxury houses and gardens below. The house is about 150 meters up a hill from the sea. The pool is very nice as well, we used it one afternoon during the week. The kitchen is small but well equipped. We visted Monaco/Monte Carlo (a 1.5 - 2 hr. drive north, with traffic), Nice and the nearby medieval town of St. Paul de Vence (each 1.5 hours north), St. Tropez (a short 12.50 euro ferry ride away), Grimaud (a cute medieval town 20 mins away), and the Provence towns of Aix-en-Provence (1.5 hrs), St. Remy (2 hrs), and Arles (2.5 hrs). We highly recommend visiting all of these towns. (If you have to skip one, skip Aix, it is very large and busy, but go to all others.) We booked a small hotel in St. Remy for an overnight stay in Provence, because we could not see all of these places with just a day trip. We recommend doing the same thing. The town of Ste. Maxime, where this apt. is located, is a cute, small town with lots of activity. Numerous cafes, restaurants, shops and markets are in town. The apt. is a 20 min. walk from town. We walked it once, and drove it all other times. For travelers from outside of France, I have 3 recommendations: first, pay the deposit and balance for this apt. using PayPal linked to your bank account, not a credit card (it would have saved me US$120 if I had done that), or pay by check if the owner permits it. The bank transactions are very high otherwise. Second, use a GPS with software for maps of France. We bought a chip for US$99 which covers all of Europe, and it was a lifesaver. The roads of France are very hard to navigate without a GPS, and door-to-door directions allows you to enjoy the scenery without the stress of finding your way. Garmin provided perfect directions. Third, Rick Steves' travel book of Provence and the French Riviera is excellent, and highly accurate. His restaurant recommendations, in particular, were perfect.
