Sainte Maxime
Villa La Mer is a wonderful residence set above the charming village of Sainte-Maxime, with sweeping panoramic views across the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The village centre — with its restaurants, beaches and lively harbour — is just minutes by car or a 25-minute walk away. A 10-minute ferry crossing takes you directly to the heart of Saint-Tropez for boutiques and the famous Tuesday and Saturday markets at Place des Lices.
Outside, the villa unfolds around a generous private swimming pool, framed by a beautifully covered terrace that takes in the full panorama of the bay. The mountains and the harbour stretch out to one side, and at sunset the entire scene transforms — the perfect setting for an apéritif of chilled Provence rosé.
The villa is reached via a private electric gate and driveway. On the pool level, a remarkable 600-year-old olive tree — sculpted in the Japanese bonsai tradition — greets you at the main entrance. From here, a generous living and dining room flows into a fully equipped kitchen and on to the outdoor dining terrace.
This level also features two bedrooms with private shower rooms and WCs, and a small home office.
The first floor is dedicated to the master suite, complete with private balcony, en-suite shower room and magnificent views.
On the garage level, two additional bedrooms share a shower room and WC, alongside a generously sized garage.
Villa La Mer is the rare Côte d’Azur address where ancient olive groves, panoramic Gulf views and stylish access to Saint-Tropez meet on one beautifully serene hillside.
Private chef, daily concierge, beach club bookings, drivers and yacht charters can all be arranged on request through Sylvana and the Cyrus International team.
