We had stayed a few days midweek at the Cantemerle in June and could not fault the hotel. So following a summer of cold and rain we decided to return in August, this time without a car. The hotel is only 20 mins drive from the airport and a shuttle bus runs from the hotel to Vence every fifteen minutes... More

Set only 900mf from the old village of Vence, this hotel is magic. It has a chateau feel with the rooms opening onto a sun drenched mini courtyard facing the pool. You can relax here or take the free shuttle bus or stroll slightly uphill to the old village. If you have a hire car, you can take a leisurely... More

We spent a week at Cantemerle and enjoyed our visit very much. We had booked the room via hotels.com and the type of room we had booked did not exist... After some hazzle, the manager found a perfect solution so we have almost forgot that little detail. Breakfast is good, rooms very comfy and the garden and pool-area is calm... More

Perfect place for short or long hideaway. Great, quiet atmosphere, superb garden, outside and inside swimming pool, surrounded by trees. Very spacious duplex rooms with everything you need, very quiet as well. Great chef and food from breakfast to diner via snacking by the pool and cocktails. Bonus you should all try, Emmanuelle and Ingrid for great Thai massage, reflexology... More

This is my fourth stay at the Cantemerle and it remains one of our favourite "wind down" hotels where the staff are always helpful, attentive and the location is superb. However since my last visit they appear to have done a makeover of the rooms and moved up a notch from Relais to Hotel and gained another star. I am... More

We booked a suite with two bedrooms and bathrooms and a terrace for three of us to share. It was very good as you expect from a hotel in this price bracket. The welcome was friendly at reception and efficient, and the bar staff and restaurant staff were very good in a nice casual way, with a nice sense of... More

We spent 3 nights here in June and it is a tranquil pretty setting. Pool is lovely, attractive gardens too. We had a duplex room which was great for 2 people. It led straight out onto the gardens and pool. We didn't eat at the hotel as we thought the prices were extremely high. We didn't have breakfast there, as... More

With only 27 rooms & excellent food, this small hotel with stunning views towards Nice was a very relaxing environment to spend a long weekend. Staff dealt with our queries professionally - make sure you book evening meals beforehand and do check which evenings they're playing live music as it's on the terrace where you eat.

I'm writing this review from the hotel as we speak. The internet is very slow and there is very limited coverage in my suite. This hotel's level of service is no where close to what the reviews claim. I wish i went with my gut instinct to book on the Promenade des Anglais which provided the same rates in a... More
