We were very satisfied with just about every aspect of our recent stay at Hôtel Napoléon in Menton…read more Due to flight delays we arrived at midnight instead of mid afternoon as we planned. We alerted the hotel that we were delayed and they assured us that it would not be a problem. When we walked in at 23:49 we were promptly greeted and checked in. Not long after that we were sleeping off our jet lag. Our room, decorated with funky, brightly colored post-modern Euro-style furniture was compact, clean and comfortable. No complaints about the accommodations. The breakfast service was quite good. Unlike what we get at hotels in the USA, the bakery, the cheese, the charcuterie and even the coffee were excellent. And nothing beats pain au chocolat with your second espresso of the morning. On our final evening in Menton, after a stroll through the city we returned to the hotel and ordered some drinks from the bar (open 24 hours). The lack of bar tending skills by the employee on duty was the only blemish we experienced--but a minor one. He didn't exactly understand what I wanted and even after explaining, it still wasn't quite right. But, all I really wanted was some alcohol, and I got all the booze I needed at a fair price, even if the proportions of the drink were off. I'm not sure that I'll ever be back to Menton, but if I am, I'll book my room at the Hôtel Napoléon again.

Situated in the South of France on the Italian border, Menton is surrounded by gorgeous mountains and the bright blue Sea. Hotel Napoleon is a 4 star establishment with a laid-back feel.

We stayed at Hotel Restaurant Le Mas d' Aigret during our stay in Provence for three days during…read moreour honeymoon. Our first impression was that the ambience and scenery of this hotel were like a Van Gogh painting. This hotel and restaurant was on top of a mountain with a beautiful view of the valley of Les Baux and the Alpilles Mountains. The view of the valley was breathtaking, with olive groves, vineyards, and rolling hills everywhere. There is even a view of the chateau from the nearby town from the hotel. We were greeted with great hospitality. The receptionist at the front desk took the time to show us around and asked if we needed anything. We chose the room with the balcony. There was a bar and a newly renovated pool which made for a perfect day of sitting by the pool with a glass of wine. The best part of this hotel was that it was within walking distance of the mountaintop town of Les Baux. This small village was literally right out of a Hobbit movie. The hotel is also easy access by car to St Remy de Provence. The hotel restaurant was amazing. There was an option of eating inside which was in a cave or outside, where most people did overlooking the valley. The chef always walked around each night making sure everything was ok and it felt really great to see the man who was cooking our food. Dinner felt like a real homemade Provencal meal. We were always able to order a bottle of wine from a local vineyard. Another great part about this hotel was that it was close to nearby wineries and olive groves so you can spend some days tasting French wine and olive oil. If you want to experience Southern France in a quaint and charming location with nearby access to one of the most beautiful villages in France, than we definitely recommend this hotel. You will not only receive exceptional service, but also an exceptional experience.

It is a small hotel with a restaurant. It's rustic, as you might expect, since it's in a skiing and recreation area in the alps. The rooms are simply furnished, but comfortable and homey. The restaurant serves huge portions of a delicious version of French country cooking. I had a beef stew served over ravioli, tasty and filling. No one here speaks English. I was the only one in the restaurant that wasn't French. Even though I don't speak French, the staff were friendly and patient and we were able to communicate enough for me to check in to my room and to have dinner in the restaurant. Overall, I would definitely recommend l'Escapade if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay in the Maritime Alps.

We had a 1 bedroom with bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was fully stocked, which we took full advantage of.. cooking rice, ramen, indian, etc as there was an Indian supermarket just down the street. There is free wifi and 24 hour in/out access. The only interesting aspect of this place is that certain floors are hard to get to at first.

We opted to just sit on the patio of their second restaurant "Les Ramparts". We ordered 1. Ceviche: This was good but nothing memorable 2. Foie gras: was actually heavenly, the preserved fruits were perfectly sweet and served with slightly toasted bread. 3. Chilled creamy soup(?): The flavors were really on-point, super creamy and the chips ontop and shaved truffle gave it great texture and aroma 4. Seabass: The skin on this eas perfectly crispy and the quinoa bits were crispy and the pickled onions were sweet and tangy 5: Diorama dessert: I was most looking forward to this but was disappointed by how simple it turned out to be. It was creamy and delicious, but I felt that the pastry chef's other creations were more interesting/unique, but what sold me was they made it specially for Dior Definitely recommend paying a visit if you visit the south of France!

My man and I landed upon this adorable B&B by accident and good karma. We arrived in Antibes with no reservation, as we chose to travel through Europe with 2 passports, a GPS device (affectionately named Gladys) and a rental car. Hotel la Jabotte was a property recommended by Rick Steve's in one of his books, but the book's description did not pay it justice. First, I wanted (still do) to be best friends with Yves and Claude and perhaps figure out a job in the property that would afford me the lifestyle they live daily in charming Antibes. Since that did not happen and I am back to reality, I feel compelled to mention that this was my favorite property of all the hotels we stayed at throughout Europe. It was far from the most expensive, but not the least expensive of the properties we paid patronage. Warm, accommodating, thoughtful details, affordable but not lacking, with a wonderful location.... I awoke in the morning to enjoy the complimentary and delicious breakfast, but my husband was not feeling well. Claude noticed he did not join me. I wrapped up, headed back to the room to take a shower, and when I emerged.... Claude had set up a special breakfast on the patio outside our room for my husband to enjoy! Fantastic and unsolicited service. Thank you Hotel la Jabotte for creating an everlasting memory for us! Cheers!

HOWEVER, we arrived much too early for our reservation and instead of allowing entry (which I do understand, had it been explained politely and apologetically), we were looked up and down with an air of dismissiveness and told to return later. When we did return we were AGAIN looked at askance because we arrived in shorts - though we explained we brought more appropriate attire to change into as we had had been shopping in Antibes earlier in the day - and nearly denied entry AGAIN until the more senior security person deigned to approve our entry. To top it all off, I never felt welcome to enjoy anything beyond the bar and grill area, the martini was only OK at the bar, my moules were COMPLETELY oversalted (and I like salt!!) and when I told the wait person, all she did was repeat what I said with surprise and clear the table... no offer to bring a comped dessert or drink or knock some $ off the bill. All in all very disappointing. I live in San Francisco which is full of tech billionaires and yet to feel so excluded at the start of this experience and to end with such mediocre food, really was a sad thing. I would have expected more given the glowing article I had read in Condé Nast. Perhaps if you are a straight couple it's a different experience - we are two women, and the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth...
