Perched high a top a hill, the view from Chateau Saint-Martin swoops down over the ancient town of Vence soaring right out to the French Riviera’s magnificent blue waters that seem to melt into the sky. It’s breathtaking and something this luxury hotel showcases as much as possible from hotel room balconies, to sweeping terraces and large picture windows across the dining room, a perfect place to watch the sunset. Walking the manicured grounds you see traces of the estate’s history beginning in 350 AD to its important role for the Knights Templar in 1150 (who folklore claims buried great treasures among the grounds).
It is traditional French glamour from the floral bed linens to the oil paintings and master fireplaces. I felt like a princess, just as when I stayed at the Le Bristol in Paris, another property that is part of the Oetker Collection. Aside from waking up to views of the French Riviera, I loved the property’s incredible gastronomy restaurant, Le Saint-Martin. Though wonderfully modern in technique and delightfully surprising, I appreciate that they still finished the meal with an oh-so-French traditional cheese cart, as if you could forget where you are with views like these….

The Oetker Collection, remember the Le Bristol in Paris?…
I started visiting manors in the English countryside. Literally ticking one off per month and totally loving all this photo and outfit inspiration!
What a stunning place! The view from the top of the hill is so beautiful.
What a lovely little place to visit.

When I travel to Paris few times, I couldn’t (I had studiyng French a year olny , but knowing vocabulary help me a lot) because they speak English so well, but is always a pleasure to be there…thanks for sharing!
