Our wish was to stay in a place for a month and experience life like the locals. Fortunately, we found the Roberto’s lovely apartment in Saint-Maxime. We could see by the pictures that the owners paid attention to detail and proudly displayed their apartment. The apartment is more impressive once you move in. We wanted to walk to town and buy fresh fish, meat, fruit, vegetables and prepare our own meals. The walk is along the coast and is stunningly beautiful. The apartment has a gas BBQ which we happily used for every meal other than a pasta dish. It offers three dining areas; the balcony, the patio and the inside dining area. We preferred the patio which looked over the neighborhood and coastal hills, beautiful. The apartment supplied all the necessary tools to prepare our meals. We found it perfectly clean when we arrived and never experienced any problems. We were met by Martine and she gladly introduced us to our new home for a month. We also met Thierry that afternoon and he patiently gave us ideas and instruction on places to visit that are not on the tourist map. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked the apartment for a return visit. Our thank you to Martine and Thierry, we look forward to seeing you again,
