You won’t find a more characterful villa on the French Riviera than Villa Maxime. Nestled in the hills above the coastline and between Cannes and Antibes, it’s a dreamy base for exploring the diverse landscape that is the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
Built with a rustic Provençal stone and sun-bleached terracotta roof, Villa Maxime has been beautifully and lovingly renovated to boast chic, contemporary interiors while still retaining a warm and homely feel throughout. Comfortably sleeping up to 12 guests, it makes the perfect location for a family celebration or get-together.
The ground floor is the place to gather, with a terraced-style living area with cosy armchairs, reading nooks and contemporary art lending a unique touch to the otherwise polished space. The area further comprises of an open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully equipped with all the tools a budding chef could need and access to the outdoor deck.
The bedrooms are split between the first and second floors, with a lift connecting the two. Each bedroom exudes the same minimalist vibe with large double beds and beautiful furnishings, as well as en-suite bathrooms for complete privacy. The bedrooms on the second floor also benefit from a private terrace access offering sweeping ocean views.
Outside, guests can make the most of the summer weather while enjoying barbecues al fresco on the terrace, and early mornings can start with a coffee in the garden to admire the magnificent view of Cap d'Antibes and the sea. The mirrored infinity pool is incredibly cool - your're sure to spend most of your days alternating between taking refreshing dips in the pool and relaxing on a sun lounger.
Although you'll struggle to drag yourself away from your private pocket of paradise, you'll want to devote time to discovering all the fantastic places that lie just beyond your doorstep. Starting in Vallauris, this lively neighbourhood invites walks in a pretty landscape and is equipped with amenities such as typical patisseries, shops and parks.
Antibes, a resort city with an old town enclosed by 16th-century ramparts overlooking the Port Vauban marina is only a 15-minute drive away. Visit its powder-sand beaches on a sunny day or explore its historic and artistic past in Musée Picasso.
The same driving distance away, Cannes is known for hosting a prestigious International Film Festival, making celebrities flock to this coastal city and laze around its beach clubs and first-class restaurants. There are also many boutiques where to indulge in retail therapy, a picturesque port and a promenade, as well as a street market selling local produce.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MaximeVilla Maxime is sandwiched between two of French Riviera’s most dazzling cities - Cannes and Antibes. While the Côte d'Azur's glistening coastline awaits, you are also close enough to explore the lavender fields and medieval towns that lie in the hinterland behind this breathtaking villa.
Start your adventure by exploring the local neighbourhood of Vallauris. Here you can find a museum dedicated to Picasso’s pottery, Musée National Pablo Picasso – La Guerre et la Paix, and another small museum, Musee De La Poterie. Walk along the main street lined with cafés and charming boutiques selling art and ceramics to stock up on unique souvenirs before you leave. There’s also an array of walking trails in the wooded area underneath the hills, and when you get hungry you can hop in the car and drive for 5 minutes to the closest restaurant or supermarket.
On a hot day, follow flocks of holidaymakers to the coast, with the closest resort being Golfe-Juan. Swim in the shallow waters and catch sun rays on Plages du Soleil, or head to the port Vieux Port Golfe Juan to look at the colourful fishing boats moored alongside sleek sailboats. From here, you can make it all the way to Antibes and stop by the Parc Exflora public gardens with a pond and sea views to stretch your legs underneath the trees. Plage de Juan les Pins is another popular beach nearby, and it features crystal-clear water with super-soft sand and beach clubs around.
There’s plenty to do in and around Antibes, so make sure to dedicate at least one full day there during your trip. Spend a day wandering around the historic old town and admiring 16th-century ramparts which house a maze of local markets and charming winding streets or set off on a coastal Picasso trail with scenic vistas. You can find most of the city’s notable sights in the neighbourhood of Vielle Ville, such as the Cathedral Notre-Dame and the Musée Picasso, showcasing some of the artist’s work.
Alternatively, head to the glitzy Cannes for an unforgettable day (and night) out. Before you hit the rooftop bars and clubs, go for a wholesome stroll along the curving Croisette promenade and admire the pretty sea views or spread out a blanket on the wide sandy beach. The area around Rue du Bateguier is great for lunch and dinner to satisfy your cravings. When the night falls, find after-dark fun in casinos such as Casino La Croisette within the Palais des Festivals or head to a nightclub for an unforgettable night out.
If you drive for just 30 minutes, you can reach Nice, a classic Mediterranean city that has been luring artists and creatives for centuries. Get your culture fix in one of its many museums and galleries such as Museums in Nice and Musée d'Art Moderne Et d'Art Contemporain, or visit the ornate Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice, a byzantine-style palace.

Best Suited For: All AgesFor a fun day out with the entire family, head to Antibes and its family-friendly beaches, cafés, restaurants and lovely parks for roaming free. The closest beach is the sandy strip called Plages du Soleil, featuring amenities such as water sports, ice cream shops and sun beds for your convenience.
On a warm day, head to Aquasplash Antibes – a waterpark with over 20 water rides and a lazy river, or Marineland – a marine animal centre located just outside of Cannes which hosts dolphin shows and shark tanks with a zoo nearby.
In the case of bad weather, there is Royal Kids amusement park full of trampolines and soft play for smaller children. Nearby, there’s also a small outdoor playground Parc de jeux.
Little and not-so-little art lovers will love exploring Nice and visiting one of its many museums. Notably, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nice is a fine-art museum in a 19th-century mansion with paintings by famous painters such as Monet, and sculptures by Rodin, while Villa Masséna Musée is an ode to Napoleon and Riviera art and will interest the entire family.
