"It takes something special for a hotel to stand out in so storied a destination as the south of France, but the Château Saint-Martin & Spa is nothing if not unique. Here, on a hilltop overlooking Vence, is a site that was once a Roman fortification, later a Knights Templar commandery, and now — after substantial improvements by its new owners, the Oetker Collection — one of very few château-style hotels in Provence, offering a degree of luxe seclusion that the grand hotels in the seaside towns can’t hope to match." - Tablet Hotels
