About this villa rental
Villa Sainte Pierre is set back approx. 300m from the Bay of Sainte Tropez off the road to Grimaud. The location is 5 mins walk from the beach.
This spacious villa accommodates 10 - 12 people with bedrooms and living areas located on both floors making the property very suitable for two families or similar combinations. The Villa was completely refurbished in 2009 and it is tastefully decorated and furnished. Bedlinen and towels are provided. There are terraces suitable for dining which overlook the pool area and have views of the bay. This tastefully decorated villa has a large heated pool, gardens, parking, terrace dining over looking the bay which is full of spectacular boats and yachts. Also WI-FI, TV, air conditioning. Off road cycle/walking path to Ste Maxime. Cycle hire available in town. Sainte Maxime is full of restaurants for every taste and for all occasions and you don't need to drive as it is only 1.5km. Port Grimaud in the opposite direct , great to cycle to on market days. Ferry service to St Tropez from Ste Maxime goes every 15 minutes. Monday is the only day where there isn't a local market. These markets are full of fashion, bags, jewels, shoes as well as local produce - great fun. There is a sailing club for windsurfers/Hobie-cats etc.

We were 8 adults on holiday from Australia, we drew straws for the rooms, unfortunately, we got the downstairs room...no air-conditioning, it was hot and there were some fans but only one worked! Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time here! The villa needs a little bit of updating, decor, TV's and the oven was hard going at times! These are small things and when updated, the Villa would be superb. We had an issue with a door not locking and after contact with the owner, a carpenter came to fix in good time! I think the cost of the Villa was in line with the overall condition so not as expensive as others in the area. The location is fine but a good 25mins walk to town with a steep uphill climb when approaching the Villa coming home. We all loved the the grounds, the outdoor furniture, the pool, the garden (lots of shade) and the distant ocean views! As a group, we had a ball and despite of what I have said, we loved the character of the Villa, lots of space for individual privacy on occasions. I would definitely stay here again and when a few of those updates are completed, it would be perfection!

This is a very comfortable and well outfitted home. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and they are all equally nice. The heated pool is fantastic. Nicely decorated and an easy walk to town. Highly recommend.

Villa was in an ideal location. The pool was excellent and useable by children of any age. Communication with property manager was via What’s App and she was easily contactable. The villa was comfortable clean and large. Would definitely use again.

Amazing Property
The house was much larger than I expected from the photos on VRBO, and suited our party well. We had 11 people in the house ranging in age from 5 to 70, and we were not in any way crowded. The pool and patio(s) were a highlight. Great location. It is possible to walk into Ste. Maxime, but it isn't a short stroll. There was a very nice beach in easy walking distance (Plage des Cigales), which saved a lot of potential parking angst. My only complaint is that the sofa bed is not really usable by an adult-sized person. It was pretty amazingly bad, but fortunately we had a 6-year-old who was quite happy with it. Nathalie, the property manager, was pleasant and easy to deal with and very responsive when we needed her. This house has spoiled me for all future vacations.

Entspannung pur
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in diesem Haus. Zimmer, Bäder, Küche, Aussenbereich und Pool sind sehr gepflegt und strahlen echte Urlaubsatmosphäre aus. Auch die Lage nahe Ste.Maxime hat unseren Erwartungen voll entsprochen.

We have had a very nice 2 weeks stay. A nice and spacious house with a fantastic terrace and pool area. However, the house appeared quite worn and there were some areas where it did not meet our expetations i.e. spots in more bathrooms were out of order, only 1 out of 4 outdoor lamps on the terrace were functioning, the TV and the manuals for having this functioning was not in place. In the kitchen area there were too few knives, glasses and pots and the kitchen knives were useless . Many minor issues that impacted the overall impression.
But a nice place with a nice location.

Belle et grande maison, très bon rapport qualité prix.
Nous avons passé 10 jours en octobre 2020 et nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. La maison est bien située, dans un cadre calme, sans vis à vis, à 5 minutes à pied de la mer et à 20 minutes à pied du centre ville de Sainte Maxime.
La maison possède 5 chambres toutes avec une salle de bain. Les deux chambres du sous-sol sont les plus grandes et recemment rénovées. Les 3 du rez de chaussée sont plus petites mais ayant chacune une porte fenêtre avec vue sur la piscine. La cuisine est spacieuse de même que les deux séjours. Il y'a assez de chaises et de vaisselle pour tout le monde. Buanderie bien équipée au sous-sol. Piscine chauffée ce qui nous a permis de nous baigner en octobre. Jardin bien entretenu et bien agencé. Un vélo à disposition. Une place de parking extérieur mais beaucoup de place dans la rue pour se garer sans souci. Le chauffage fonctionne très bien (et probablement la clim aussi). La décoration est sobre et jolie. Les meubles en bois plein sont assortis dans toutes les pièces. Quelques petits points négatifs: La maison manque un peu d'entretien : quelques ampoules grillées à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, des robinets réparés sommairement, les volets qui ferment mal. La télé n'a pas marché pendant tout le séjour (orage). Il n'y a pas verrou sur aucune porte des toilettes et salles de bains et chambres ce qui peut poser problème pour l'intimité. Mais globalement, le séjour a été excellent. La maison peut accueillir facilement 5 couples ce qui en fait un excellent rapport qualité prix si on se partage les frais.

Aelteres Haus mit Charme
Die Ausstattung vom Haus ist gut, die Lage ideal (5 - 10 Minuten Spaziergang zu einem sehr schönen Strand). Für uns perfekt war, dass man sowohl Pool, Terrasse und Untergeschoss absperren konnte (1 1/2 jährige Enkelin), so konnten alle entspannt die Woche geniessen.

Est est est.... un angolo di paradiso!
Questa villa è un angolo di paradiso. Tutto è armonico ben dimensionato. Abbiamo usato la villa in 7 le camere sono 5 (tutte molto curate).Le dotazioni perfette così come la pulizia. Gode di una magnifica posizione ed è comodissima per fruire della spiaggia poco distante che abbiamo rilevato essere tra le più belle. Vicinissimi anche campi da tennis e golf e Saint-Maxime. Professionale e simpatica la referente locale dei proprietari.

There were 10 of us mostly adults but with one 4 year old and one 87 year old. This was the 3rd Villa we have rented for a family holiday and on balance the best yet. The positives: Sylvie (the house manager) is great; the pool is great; it is genuinely within a 5 min walk of a beach, even with a 4 year old, but a much better and very nice beach is another 4mins further away; all rooms are spacious;aircon worked well and we needed it!; it was spotlessly clean; good kitchen and BBQ;view is great; it's a quiet area; Sainte-Maxime is nice; it's a pretty property. The (very slight) negatives: some of the bathrooms are a little "tired" although clean; the property is a good 30 minute walk from the heart of Sainte-Maxime and taxi's are not very plentiful. Overall: warmly recommended

The house is spaciaous and beautiful. Each of the five bedrooms has its own bathroom! Plus 2 additional halfbath. The house was clean and well equipped. The furniture in the kitchenen needs a little work (missing handle bares). We loved the big gas grill and the outdoors. The pool was clean and the garden well maintained. Linens, towels and beach towels were all in the house. The location was convenient und very quiet. Sylvie was very well-comming. We can recommend it for up to 10 people, exspecially for families with older children. Beautiful vacation!!

My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this villa. Everything was so lovely, excellent accommodation , location, we all loved it. The cleaners/manager were excellent and we got into villa in good time, everything was as described. The décor was excellent and the villa was well equipped. We spent most of our time in the pool or on the patio but it is also very close to the beach. We loved the area and Sainte Maxine has everything you could wish for. Very quiet area apart from our slightly annoying pool alarm!

Situated in St Maxime. But a little to far. For a walk into the town for some of the younger and older members of the family. Easy to drive down and park in the Town centre. Beaches nearby in easy walking distance from villa. Pool is lovely with sunbeds and umbrellas and beach towels provided. Has gas barbecue for outdoor cooking and large range cooker in kitchen. All bedrooms have ensuites.. Washing and drying facilities too. No maid service during our two week stay but we just washed and dried towels etc ourselves . So many places to visit and things to do . Visits to Gorges of Verdon and Lake St Croix recommended as well as closer trips out to St Tropez (by boat not car) Port Grimaud and Nice.

The villa is well situated with a view of the Mediterranean sea and has a superb swimming pool. Ste Maxime is a nice little town offering all we needed by way of shops and restaurants. A swim followed by breakfast on the terrace was a perfect way to start the day.
As we had only five staying in the end, the villa catered for us easily but there were a number of snags. On the night of our arrival we suffered a power outage which we could not fix ourselves, the fuse box being in a locked room. Sylvia turned out and fixed it. Having recovered from that, at 2 am we were woken by the pool alarm going off. This it did intermittently during the week twice at night! There was a pervasive smell of drains during the whole week. A plumber came to the property on Wednesday but was unable to correct it. The automatic gate to the property did not work. Again a man came to fix it with no result. A number of other minor issues were irritating - one fridge not working, though there was ample space in the others. Some door shelves in the main fridge were missing.
The lady looking after the property was as helpful as she could be but she required the owner's consent to do things.
I was also irritated by threats to charge if the property was left in an unsatisfactory state, towels not put on to wash and if the barbecue (very good by the way) was not cleaned properly. Of course we sought to comply with these requests but with a departure time of 10 am, a family with children might struggle to put everything in place.
That said, these were minor irritants during a very enjoyable week. Would we go back? Only if we were certain that the faults had been fixed and the pervasive smell was gone.
Writing the day after our return I can truly say we had a great time.

The house is very comfortable and well-equipped and the view from the terrace is delightful. If you enjoy a holiday spent lounging around the pool, this property would be an ideal holiday let. We, however, prefer to get out and about a little and had looked forward to visiting many places in the area. Sadly we saw very few of these as the sheer volume of traffic made it a nightmare to turn out onto the main road - and this off season! Admittedly, the roadworks at a roundabout added to this, but in high summer it must be dreadful.
Of course, there is a beach nearby, but the steep hill on the return trip would prove a trial for some, especially in the heat of summer. And walking back from town in the sun would tax all but the youngest and fittest.
These criticisms would obviously not worry a group of young, fit people, but there were some other problems which apply to all ages. When we arrived, we were greeted by a most unpleasant odour throughout the whole of the upper floor. This, we later worked out, was due to faulty plumbing from the washing machine. This cannot have been a one-off occurrence and should surely have been rectified before our arrival. As it was, the smell was very unpleasant in 2 of the upper bedrooms and the 3rd was so bad that we were unable to use it! The smell took a couple of days to clear, but recurred when, as requested, we washed the pool towels on the eve of our departure. This is the first time we' have ever been asked to do the washing and we feel that, in that case, they should at least supply washing liquid/powder, rather than our having to buy it ourselves!
We have used Owners Direct/HomeAway for several years and have always had frequent contact with the owners prior to our stay. This time we heard from Padraig only when payments were due. Fair enough, but we expected a few more details after making the final payment.
But still nothing. In the end we contacted the helpline who got in touch with Padraig who then sent the address and contact name - but no phone number for us to arrange timings. We again tried to get hold of Padraig but with no luck so once again we contacted the helpline and in the end received the info just one hour before we set off! At the gîte too communication was very poor with no helpful folder of advice and instructions. Apparently, Padraig had taken it away to update it! Shouldn't this have been done beforehand?
A lovely gîte with early-season teething problems!

Excellent place near St. Tropez
We spent 5 nights (we planned for 4 but added one more) at villa Piere ( 2 families of 4 adults and 4 children) and we really enjoyed the place from all points of view - location, layout, amenities...
The property managers were very kind and also the emails exchanged with the owner were very friendly. We travelled around quite a lot and discovered a little gem called Port Grimaud a few minutes drive from propriety - thanks Charlotte for a great tip.
We will come back in the future
