Château Saint-Martin & Spa, Vence
On Avenue des Templiers, away from the centre of Vence, the Château Saint-Martin & Spa occupies the estate of a former commandery. This Nice airport to Château Saint-Martin transfer leaves the sea behind for the hills.
The hotel and its neighbourhood
The Saint-Martin commandery
The estate takes its name from the Saint-Martin commandery, a listed historic monument since 1927. In 2018, its chapel was given a new decor by the artist Erick Ifergan, who showed his sculptures there for two years. The Château Saint-Martin is one of France's palace hotels.
Vence and Matisse
Vence town centre is a few minutes away. Henri Matisse settled there in 1943; he later designed the whole interior of the Chapelle du Rosaire, consecrated in 1951. Saint-Paul-de-Vence is next door, with the Fondation Maeght, the first foundation for modern and contemporary art in France.
Our chauffeur services at Château Saint-Martin & Spa
Climbing from the coast
From Nice Airport, the road leaves the shore at Cagnes, then climbs towards Vence through the hills. The drive takes 30 minutes. Fares begin at €100 and stay as booked. The chauffeur stops at the château, along Avenue des Templiers, and unloads your bags. For a late arrival, the road is the same and we run 24/7.
Matisse and Maeght in a day
We start in the morning at the Chapelle du Rosaire in Vence. In the afternoon, the Fondation Maeght awaits above Saint-Paul-de-Vence, before a stroll through the village. Our excursion service links the two and brings you back to the Château Saint-Martin for dinner. Do check the chapel's opening hours before you set off.
Tourrettes and the Loup
Further west, Tourrettes-sur-Loup and its stone houses look down on the Loup valley. The chauffeur takes you there, and the drive back to the hotel follows the quiet valley lanes.
Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Château Saint-Martin & Spa?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €110 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €140 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €170 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€100 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Château Saint-Martin & Spa?
About 30 minutes to reach Château Saint-Martin & Spa (17 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
From Vence, how can we see the Matisse chapel and the Fondation Maeght on the same day?
The chauffeur drops you at the chapel in the morning and at the Fondation in the afternoon, then brings you back to the château.
Will a private driver meet us at Nice Airport to go up to the Château Saint-Martin?
Yes. We collect you on arrival and drive you all the way to the château, luggage included.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
