Lonely Planet, Cannes to Nice
"James Bond would stay here. Run with a certain opulence by (American) Europe veterans, this up-market chamber d’hote is vast and full of architectural flair. No two rooms are on the same level (five marbles steps mount each of the seven levels); the sky-high lobby of limestone walls lends the villa a chateau like air, and the sweeping view of St. Paul, Cap d’Antibes and the Med from the breakfast terrace, pool and most rooms is unbeatable.

— Frommer’s
“… the Villa St. Maxime, a cool modern residence just outside St. Paul with pool and a knock-out view down to the sea …”
— Dolce Vita
“The Villa has absolutely everything you could wish for and our room and bathroom were quite stunning with views up to St Paul and down to Antibes.”
— TripAdvisor
“A modern gem, on a site facing St. Paul de Vence – a retreat of vast white spaces”
