Above the town of Vence, in the green hills behind the coast, the Château Saint-Martin & Spa commands olive groves and a sweeping view down to the distant sea. Built on a former Templar site, it is a serene retreat away from the seafront crowds. Here is what to know about transfers to the Château Saint-Martin.

A retreat in the hills

Set on the site of a former Templar fortress above Vence, the Château Saint-Martin sits amid terraced olive groves and old ramparts, with a panorama that stretches across the hills to the sea. A spa, gardens and Michelin-level dining make it a destination in its own right.

It is the quieter, greener side of the Riviera, above the coastal bustle.

From Nice Airport to the hills

The château lies around 35 to 40 minutes from Nice Airport, up into the hills behind the coast. A private chauffeur meets your flight and handles the winding roads to the gates, from around €130 in an E-Class or €160 in a V-Class.

The climb into the hills, with the coast opening up behind, is a beautiful arrival.

A chauffeur for the hinterland

From the château, a private chauffeur reaches the artists' village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the coast at Nice and Antibes, and the perched villages of the hinterland. The same driver is on call for dinners and day trips from the gates.

It is the easiest way to enjoy both the quiet hills and the coast below.
