Château Saint-Martin & Spa - an Oetker Collection Hotel

One of the great spa experiences I have enjoyed. Cleo was superb! Everyone at the Chateau lived up to the Oetker reputation - helpful, extremely professional, well-trained, pleasant and friendly. From the valet to the concierge staff the reception staff, the restaurant, the spa - all excellent. Our suite was spacious and well equipped with a large terrace and every amenity. The rooms were well decorated and immaculately cared for. The grounds exceptional. We greatly enjoyed our stay and recommend this property highly. One exception... we had lunch at the casual restaurant at the sister property the Hotel du Cap. The service was exceptional, the grounds and hotel magnificent. But the food at luncheon? Terrible! I was so surprised. Yes is was quite busy with every table full, but there was no excuse for a poorly executed Nicoise salad and a very overcooked burger. But the view was quite spectacular and the champagne was good so not all was lost! We will definitely return to the Chateau Saint Martin.

We had probably the best Jr. Suite possible while staying at seven different 5 star hotels over a 4 week period at this outstanding hotel/location perched on the hilltop with commanding views over Vence, Cannes and Nice with the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.. Prestige suite #54 has an enviable corner location on this hilltop hotel, beautifully decorated, large and many comfortable seating options with four French doors, three opening onto a private patio with table for outdoor dining (if desired) with amazing views to Nice, Antibes and the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel grounds are very spacious and pleasant. Staff very attentive and helpful. The swimming pool is beyond gorgeous with perfect lap swimming temperature. We enjoyed 3 days of breakfast in the room and went to the formal dining twice. Both evenings were outstanding and the Dorade one evening was possibly the best I can recall. Staff and wine sommelier Arthur was very accommodating to our limited wine consumption habit. We will be back!

Off the beaten track, on top of a hill looking over the south of France. On a good day you can even see Corsica. A lovely area with a nearby small town. I felt this was secluded and exclusive. I’ve never quite felt peace like it. It’s so quiet and relaxing. If I were to ever go away by myself or just with my partner for a quiet week, this would be it. As someone who works in luxury travel, the little gifts I had for my child goes such a long way. Even though they cost a small amount, it is these touches which keep high net worth individuals coming back and will keep people like me sending clients to the hotel. Top quality breakfast. Stunning pool area. Fantastic clean and spacious room. I hope to go back one day.

We spent 4 nights here in a delightful room. Fabulous view. V good service. A bit disappointing food - the fare at the Estival was poor compared to expectations (everything cold) and even the main restaurant was rather style over substance. Excellent breakfast however.

Stayed in Deluxe Jr Suite for 2 nights in September. Arrival was smooth and efficient and the suite was spacious with an attractive terrace. Overall, the service levels in the hotel very high. We had booked the main restaurant Le Saint Martin for dinner both nights. However, the dinner was an extreme disappointment. Two dishes in particular stood out (not in a good way), the parsnip risotto style (awful) and the pork knuckle, just sickly sweet shredded pork. We cancelled the reservation for the second night and ate in the outdoor bar area. The breakfast buffet was exceptional, but, again with the kitchen, cooked to order items ordered were really not very good. Overall pleasant stay in an area we visit frequently, but would not return.

We traveled in June 2023. We rented a car and drove to the property, easy to find even though the roads are tiny....be careful if traveling at night. Food and service was amazing. A wonderful place to dine. We stayed for three nights. The pool and pool service was top notch. Turn down service was lovely and the staff was always very friendly. I do think they need to communicate better. They do not have irons in the room and we requsted one and they said they would do it for us. But...they charged us $35 for two shirts. They did not communicate that there would be a charge. We called the front desk to inquire about that and all they said was sorry we did not tell you. We also had a lot of ants on our balcony...it was really gross. They did spray non-toxic stuff to help with the issue. Vence is a very pretty town and this hotel is worth a few nights, very unique and again the food was delicious. The breakfast everyday was wonderful and creative We regret renting a car and driving there ourselfs. It would have been easier taking a taxi from Nice. We came all the way from Saint Tropez, so we wish we would have dropped our car off in Nice by the train station. Tips: We traveled with our daughter who was 11 at the time. They treated her like a princess. This hotel also has an amazing spa....and great gym. Not to be missed!!
