A serene market in Sainte-Maxime

Cradled between sea and hills, Sainte-Maxime appeals for its Provençal authenticity and peaceful lifestyle on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Basking in the sun, this seaside resort is popular for its sandy beaches, its lively harbour, and its family atmosphere. It offers a pleasant, sought-after place in which to live, all year round.

Pairing Mediterranean elegance with contemporary inspirations, villas and residences in Sainte¬-Maxime often benefit from privileged locations in elevated positions facing the Gulf, offering superb panoramic views. Lively in all four seasons, the old town blends authentic charm and conviviality with good restaurants, boutiques and cafe´s open year-round, while the neighbourhoods of La Croisette, La Nartelle, Se´maphore, Les Saquedets and Beauvallon are seen as sought-after residential areas offering security, greenery and a seaside setting.

Based for almost 20 years on Rue Pierre Curie in Sainte¬-Maxime, the Stil Immobilier agency has become a local benchmark for sales of properties - ¬apartments, large residences and villas posting a wide array of prices. It can also lay claim to recognized expertise in the field of new properties within a perimeter encompassing Sainte¬-Maxime, Les Issambres and Grimaud.

Mostly French, clients are often looking forward to retirement on the seafront and are ready to invest around 10,000 € per sqm for a new villa with quality appointments. Prestigious properties with sea views and luxurious appointments can then attain 15,000 to 20,000 € per sqm. One example is a project for four elegant villas each offering three bedrooms including a master suite. With a garage, leafy grounds of 1,260 m2 and a pool, these villas in a quiet green setting are 3 kilometres from the town centre and the beaches, and close to all amenities. They are proposed from 1,100,000 €.

After 18 months of tension on the real estate market, Anthony Rossi is seeing a gradual but on-going recovery, driven by buyers with budgets often ranging from 1.5 to 2 M €, or even higher, from 4 M €. Determined to carry out their plans, they are keen on Sainte-¬Maxime for its charm, its strategic location at the heart of the Gulf, and its quality lifestyle all year round.
