Super relaxing. Great service. Very clean. Nice decor with a slight Bollywood them, which is odd but subtle. Highly recommended.

A beautiful B&B, the rooms are spacious and well-thought out. Loved the decorative touches. The owner is friendly and welcoming and full of great information about day trips. Cold filtered water in the rooms, and free wi-fi. The only suggestion would be a little more variety at breakfast (it was very good but if you were staying a while you might want something new), and perhaps an "honesty bar" with wine and beer to drink on the lovely terrace. BUT - small things, and I recommend this place. Biot itself is also a beautiful little village, not as touristy as some of the other villages, and well worth a visit.

We had a great experience with Claudia and Philippe, the owners and the great Silvia that takes care of most things in the B&B. Wonderful people and the place they run an absolutely fantastic place that we'll definitely be coming back. Maybe not driving all the way from Bergen again, but we'd love to come down to Biot again and enjoy the settings and everything! Wonderful breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice to go with fresh croissants...mmm...get watery mouth just writing about it. Lovely stay in a beautiful place that we'll be going back to. :)

The Bastide Valmasque is a very tastefully decorated B&B in Biot, run by Claudia and Philippe. They offer several rooms which differ in sizes and prices. We stayed in "Morjim" (the 2nd cheapest) for 11 nights and really enjoyed our stay there.

Before I want to comment on the exceptional hosts, just some remarks re the room and the location: "Morjim" is big enough for 2 adults with lots of baggage. Great "rain forest"-like shower, always spotlessly cleaned by Silvie and her helper. Nice decoration in a mediterranean-Indian bricolage style. Breakfast is included, and a nice upgrade of the French "croissant and coffee" routine with a large selection of marmelades, fresh cheese and freshly prepared orange juice. The only minus we can think of is that (at least in July, which is already in the main season at the Cote d'Azur) you can hear noise from the roads and the water park "Marineland" when you leave the windows open, which can be a problem for light sleepers.

The Bastide is located in Biot, a small village between Antibes and Nizza. Most of the tourist attractions - beautiful mountain villages like St Paul de Vence or Eze, beaches, Cannes, Monte Carlo - can be reached from there without hassle .That you need a car to explore the Cote d'Azur goes without saying.

What really sets this B&B apart were the owners Claudia and Philippe, who were really extremely helpful and seem to think of themselves more like "hosts" than like owners - they printed tickets for Jazz festivals for us, told us what to see, where to eat and (even more important) what to avoid at the Cote d'Azur each morning during breakfast and also initiated us into the world of steel drum jazz music. It is safe to say that our Cote d'Azur experience would have been a lot more shallow without them. Definitely recommended.
