“Liked it”

I wasn't quite sure what to expect here - the pictures looked a bit dated but it was the only place in the area we could find a family room for a night near(ish) Nice airport.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect here - the pictures looked a bit dated but it was the only place in the area we could find a family room for a night near(ish) Nice airport. The family room is actually in a separate annex building right by the pool, with a little garden and table area outside. There are two rooms (a double with a small kitchenette and ensuite, and a twin). The pool looked lovely with a great view. We didn't try it as we were only on a brief overnight stay. We didn't have breakfast as it didn't start until 8am on a Sunday and we needed to be away about then. It costs extra anyway (14 euro per adult, child rate depending on age). Its a 5 minute walk to the centre of Vence, which is pretty with nice restaurants.

“Charming hotel. Spectacular vista.”

There is far more to like about this charming, spectacularly located hotel, than the is to quibble about. The 270° view from the terrace is breathtaking and on a balmy evening with a chilled glass of wine from the adjacent bar, there are very few experiences to compare.

There is far more to like about this charming, spectacularly located hotel, than the is to quibble about. The 270° view from the terrace is breathtaking and on a balmy evening with a chilled glass of wine from the adjacent bar, there are very few experiences to compare. The swimming pool is delightful and is cleaned scrupulously. The decor and furnishings are faded and are somewhat dated and are either ‘scruffy’ or ‘shabby’ depending on your perspective. We tended towards the latter and would be inclined to add ‘chic’. Vence which is a leisurely ten minute stroll away is a quintessentially Provençal town. We ate and drank some of the best food and wine available and every evening was different. Our hosts were delightful but their English is limited and I’d recommend that anyone visiting. who has limited French (as do we) should look up a few helpful phrases. Our visit unfortunately coincided with the hotel’s cleaner being taken ill. This meant the room wasn’t serviced every day for which the hotel owner apologised profusely. We enjoyed a very pleasant week in Vence and we hope the young couple running this charming hotel are successful and are able to make the changes that (we’re sure they know) are necessary. We look forward to that happening and would then keenly anticipate a return.

“Wonderful location with great views and in easy reach of the town.”

Our room was clean and comfortable, the staff were pleasant and efficient and provided a very good breakfast. Views from rooms and the spacious terrace (with a bar) we're just superb. Just sorry we didn't have time to use the pool. (Also reviewed in Booking)
