The stylish, yet understated Saint Martin Hotel, whose rooms command sweeping views over the hillsides of Vence and the Mediterranean, is most definitely a treat for the eye. In the plush dining room or on the drop-dead terrace, you will sample intelligently devised dishes underscored by high-flying craftsmanship and the odd gem of an ingredient, such as lacquered tuna and a medley of seafood or suckling pig, aubergines in different textures and tomatoes.
