    Beautiful views, excellent service, delicious food, comfortable lodging. I stayed in one of their villas for 3 nights. Alex was my concierge, and his worldly view was an asset and pleasure to have. From Alex's recommendations and suggestions to his translation of language and culture, my stay wouldn't have been as comfortable without him. All of the hotel staff was always smiling and happy to help with anything needed. The scenic view of the coast from the patio is breathtaking.

    We reserved just 1 night at the Chateau Saint-Martin for our wedding. The staff let us take pictures in the gardens with our wedding party and family during golden hour. Everyone was so nice to us all along. The garden and architecture are truly unique. We are waiting for the photos, but I know they will turn out beautiful. Thanks to the valet/conciergerie as well as reception for letting us enjoy the beautiful property. 10/10 would recommend.

    We just completed a few days here for my birthday. Truly, I was sad to leave. This is a wonderful hotel with the most kind staff. The views, the food, the people are all amazing. I will forever treasure the memory of being able to visit here and cannot wait to return one day. So many thanks to the lovely staff and their great efforts to make us feel at home.

    We stayed at this gorgeous hotel for our honeymoon in August. Everything was superb from the staff, to the rooms, to the food, and to the property! The landscaping and the grounds were spectacular. Our favorite part about our stay was the staff. We had such a wonderful time chatting into the evening with the bartender after we'd arrive home from dinner.

    Peaceful & relaxing gem tucked away in the hills of Vence. The gardens and views are so special you won’t want to leave. We loved exploring the nearby towns but also found it hard to the leave the hotel pool. The food and drinks were top notch. The staff were very kind and helpful; the other guests were very pleasant as well.

    Extremely beautiful location, excellent swimming pool, fabulous property, great staff, probably best gin and tonic. Time to go back!

    We recently stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon. From the moment you arrive until you check out, it is a sublime experience. The staff will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. They are always ready with recommendations of the local area and helping with reservations. The spa is well appointed, we did a couple's massages and both masseuses were great. The pool is the highlight of the grounds, be sure to go there. Can't recommend enough!

    Just went for a cocktail and what a treat. The views are amazing. Service impeccable. We've been told the food is also perfection...we'll try when the open again in April. Also, walk around the grounds and the hotel corridors-some beautiful art.

    Amazingly beautiful and peaceful. Top notch service and great food. Don’t let the pictures and reviews about old style furniture fool you. This place is classic, slow, French glamour and you really have to be there in that setting to appreciate it. You can’t beat sitting outside there watching sunset. Can’t wait to visit again.

    We just came back from the most magical week at Château Saint-Martin & Spa where we celebrated my Birthday. I still feel elated and inspired. This hotel is such a gem! I have stayed in many 5-Star hotels, but my experience at Château Saint-Martin was simply the best. The magnificent surroundings paired with unparalleled service helped us create unforgettable memories. We cannot wait to be back. Than you, team Château Saint-Martin!

    This was our splurge for our honeymoon and it was worth every penny! The property is breathtaking - there is plenty to do between the pool, spa, tennis courts, and just walking around so we spent 3 days there and never wanted to leave the grounds! I cannot speak highly enough about the staff - they were all delightful! The meals were wonderful as well and the staff did a great job accommodating my allergy and providing the most lovely and romantic dining experience!

    We visited this exquisite and historic hotel and spa in celebration of my 70th birthday - a gift from our daughter who made up our party of three. It was the third and penultimate stop of a two-week trip along the Italian Riviera, and the French Riviera. The surroundings were charming and bucolic; the views from the hilltop of the valley below and as far as you could see, were magnificent. Perhaps one of my favourite experiences while there was to see the original castle door that was in place during the days of the Knights of the Templar! The staff was gracious, professional, courteous, and very accommodating. The concierge surprised us with a small birthday gift of macaroons, personalised chocolate candy and a bottle of champagne; discreetly left in our room while we were at dinner. The food was delicious; the exterior was immaculately landscaped; the hotel was graced with beautiful sculptures and artwork inside and outside. And, they grow their own vegetables and make their own bread and cheeses, here! Definitely an outstanding venue! I'm still tingling from the precious memories of our trip. My guess is that it's very pricey, but in this case, "you get what you pay for," and more. We would certainly visit again.

    We visited the Château many times. The restaurant is very good, food delicious and setting outstanding. The service is truly exceptional and the prices are on point for the quality provided. Recommended!

    One of my favourite places. Stunning views. The food is excellent. Charming and friendly service. Our favourite time to go is apéro time. Watch the sunset with a glass of champagne and some delicious nibbles.

    Chateau Saint Martin was the first stop of our honeymoon trip, and was the hotel we were most looking forward to. We spent three nights here, and unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations largely because of the food. Let's start with the good: the hotel was excellent. Our room was spacious, elegantly decorated, and extremely comfortable. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well - two things that are not always the case in French hotels, even at higher end properties. The hotel grounds are stunning with art around every corner. The service from the hotel staff was excellent. It's certainly a formal hotel and the service reflected that, but fortunately they did a very good job of being attentive without being stiff/pretentious. The downfall was the restaurant, and what a downfall it was. Chateau Saint Martin is technically in Vence, but it's quite the trek to get to town. So, you expect to eat quite a few of your meals on the property. As we were pretty drained from wedding festivities and extensive travel, we got room service the first two nights. The service was excellent, but the food was very hit-or-miss. Under-seasoned vegetables, overcooked chicken, and bland pasta is not something we expected when a room service bill for 2 clocks in at ~200 euros. Unfortunately, the night we ate in the restaurant was no better. This is not the first Michelin starred restaurant we've eaten at in France, the US, and elsewhere, but it was, without question, the worst. Nearly every course was bland and leaned on a surprising amount of produce that was clearly not locally sourced (which should not be the case at a Provencal restaurant). The service was also poor. We waited almost an hour for desert - our server had very clearly forgotten about us. Breakfast each morning was no better. Service was incredibly spotty. The first morning no one brought us coffee, and not a single server stopped by our table. The food at breakfast was also very uneven. The scrambled eggs were tough, watery, and easily the worst we've had in France (where creamy, buttery scrambled eggs are the norm). I can't speak to the experience at L'Oliveraie as it rained all three days we were there and the restaurant is entirely outdoors. Overall, I can't recommend staying at Chateau Saint Martin. While the hotel was great, the restaurant failed in nearly every way. With a hotel rate of nearly $1,500 per night, and meals that clock in at $200-400 for two people, the low standards for food and service in the restaurant make this a hotel that is nowhere near deserving of its price tag.

    Fine Michelin starred restaurant on a high terrace outside a beautiful hotel, overlooking an extensive view of the coastal strip and Mediterranean in the distance. There is an excellent choice of food, beautifully presented and plenty of staff caring for your every need. Some of the waiters are new post covid and occasionally make mistakes, but the overall memory is strongly positive. Highly recommended.
