Couldn't be more pleased. It was a nice surprise find searching less expensive spots at Antibes, to spend 4 nights before returning home from Nice airport.

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!

It's in the old part of the village of Valbonne, right on the main square, with bars, restaurants, and markets to choose from as soon as you walk out your door. The building is a fully-restored 17th century house. It's not a large hotel (16 rooms in total, but they do have a lift). The rooms range from small but decent to more luxurious. Like most of the region prices aren't cheap, but it's a good central base for exploring the Côte d'Azur.

Thank you again for my most needed escape…read more I appreciate your hospitality and genuine service and care. It is what make you special. I have worked in hospitality for the past 18 years and if the world gave 10% of what your team gives the world would be a way better place. During the Covid lockdown I had to think of the two favorite places in France that I wanted to visit when the borders open. You being the 1st. The thought of coming back helped me work the past 450+ days straight without a day off. I wish the very best to your entire team and health to all of us. I look forward to my next stay. Keep up the amazing spirit! Much love and respect, Angela Rosen
