French Riviera Hotel Review

Hotel Welcome

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

Price: $$-$$$$

Travels with Friends Charm Rating: 82

Details- This hotel is located right across the street from the the harbor of the small Riviera town Villefranche-Sur-Mer. It is perfectly situated between Nice and Monaco beside Cap Ferrat. The interior is Italian modern and includes a large fish tank and a wood spiral staircase in the lobby. There is a small bar off the lobby that mixes modern furniture with old world stone walls. All rooms offer balconies and have air conditioning. They also have tastefully faux-finished walls and all the amenities you would expect from a hotel in this category, including internet connection capability. The difference between superior rooms and the comfort rooms is only the size. It is right across the street from the Jean Cocteau decorated Chapel Saint-Pierre, a jewel of modern mystic art.

Notes- The staff is quite friendly at this hotel and the wonderful views and nice rooms make it a special place. The hotel is within easy walking distance of many restaurants specializing in seafood, caught daily just outside your hotel window.

Quotes- "Falling asleep to the sounds of the harbor is an amazing experience." Thomas M., Seattle, WA, May 2003

"This place was great. Top floor view of the harbor was great to wake up to. Room service was excellent." Ken D., South San Francisco, CA, July 2003

"A room with a balcony is a must if you are staying this close to the sea." Steven Hurley, June 2003
