Located in a beautiful medieval village to the west of Nice with a complimentary bus to the main town of Cagnes sur Mer every 15 minutes! Food to die for, but also quite expensive. Rooms were lovely overlooking a typical French square. Would definetely stay again if in the area.

Enjoyed two nights @ the property in a cozy rustic room with the most comfortable beds yet experienced in France.
Tomaz, the Swedish iwner and host made us feel most welcome and was extremely helpful with local info etc.
The medieval village area on top of the hill is utterly charming and Josy Jos is highly recommended as a one Michellen star restaurant within strolling distance.
The location is a little tricky to get to from the train station - approx 16 Euros. Once there though make use of the free shuttle bus service which interconnects with main bus services to Nice for as little as 1 Euro.
Taksa mycket Tomaz and continued success with us fussy travellers

Rarely do i write a review but this place deserves it. We only had one night to book on our own without Hilton Points, and I saw this place on Trip Advisor. The reviews were all strong and it looked like a break from the big hotels were staying in.

Getting there is easy. At the Nice airport you can take a taxi for 40 euros or take the #200 bus outside of terminal 1 for 1 Euro. Take it to the main bus square in Cagnes-sur-Mer. From there catch the free bus to the old town that runs every 15 minutes.

We were greeted by name by Tomaz as we approached the lovely building and were escorted immediately to a small but very charming room overlooking the square and small valley beyond. The bed had premium linens and a comfortable mattress. The room was quiet.

For lunch we opted to eat outside at the hotel overlooking the square. The food was some of the best of the trip. So good that we stayed late on checkout day so we could have lunch again. There are plenty of choices on the square and that night we chose to eat at Le Jimmy' s for pizza- another great choice. The one night was capped off by a few sets at the Black Cat jazz bar next door. Breakfast was the best we had particularly the buttery croissants and premium meats and cheeses.

We wrestled with canceling the next couple of nights in Monaco and just staying there. The 500 year old district is unique and there is much to do. Eventually we opted to continue our travels. In retrospect we should have stayed in the quiet surrounding of Cagnes-sur-Mer.

My sister and I stayed at the Hotel Le Grimaldi for three nights and enjoyed every minute. The room was casually elegant and our window looked over the plaza in front of the Chateau. We watched children playing as their parents had a drink at one of the bar/restaurants around the plaza (there are four). Our best meal of the trip was at the hotel restaurant, and we had two fun evenings at the Black Cat Jazz club next to the hotel--great jazz and salsa jazz music. Our host, the owner, was absolutely lovely and enhanced our stay with her warmth and recommendations. We did not rent a car, so we found the free shuttle down to the main bus station to be very convenient. We did day trips to St. Paul de Vence and Antibes and we looked forward to returning each evening to Haut de Cagne and Le Grimaldi. Haut de Cagne is a treasure trove of lovely narrow cobbled streets, iron window grates, and ancient wooden doors on beautiful stone houses. We lucked out--the weekend we stayed, there was a floral expo, so the Chateau was decorated with floral sculptures in every room. The scent of flowers floated through the village, and small bands of musicians played French folk songs periodically. Next time, we're bringing our husbands!
