I booked this hotel for 3 nights in May having read the very positive reviews and seen the website. As it was a special occasion, we went for the duplex suite. The views across to the wonderful village of St.Paul de Vence are certainly marvellous. The breakfasts, too, were plentiful and can be taken on the terrace or in your room, at no extra cost.

However, we were looking forward to quiet restful times in the garden or on our balcony. What the reviews and the website do not mention is the fact that the very busy road directly outside the hotel is noisy and the garden is rather small. The hotel lies above this road but we found traffic noise during the day to be a nuisance. It quietens down at night. Given its excellent position between the coast and St.Paul, these comments might seem a little begrudging but at E285 per night plus breakfast (more in season) we were expecting rather better.

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in mid May 2006 at this lovely little family run hotel. It has more of a relaxing B&B feel to it than a hotel. It is set in a valley a few minutes drive from the beautiful walled town of St. Paul de Vence, 15 minutes to Nice airport and the lovely, lively town of Nice , 25 minutes from glamourous Monaco, 25 minutes to glitzy Canne. The service was very good and the owner was very helpful and friendly. The owner also stressed there is no pressure to rise early for breakfast as he says, when you are on holiday you should be able to have a lie- in, so breakfast is served until 12 am inside or on the terrace, it was a treat with tasty croissants, breads, jams and coffee. The room we had (no.5) was spacious and clean with a balcony overlooking the garden and a distant view of the mountains. The bathroom was large and clean. I would recommend this hotel for it's relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and accessability to nearby attractions.

We stayed there for 3 nights and enjoyed the friendly service, the rooms with terrace and the breakfast. The prices are very reasonable and we would recommend to stay there.

We have just returned from an early Easter stay at this hotel, and agree with the two previous reviews... This is a lovely peaceful hotel, with stunning views across to St Paul de Vence. A welcome retreat from the busier resort of Nice. The breakfasts are excellent, rooms very comfortable, pool well tended and clean, and the service was exemplary. This hotel is highly recommended although if visiting out of season you will need to travel a little further afield to find a selection of reasonably priced restaurants for evening meals. We would certainly return to this hotel.
