First visited the Riviera in April this year and discovered "La Surprise". Loved the area in general and the accomodation in particular so much that I had to return before the season ended.

A four day break was what we needed and certainly what we got. This was a return visit for us and it was great not to have to even consider going anywhere else. The hidden location is worth it for the peace, tranquility and wonderful views. Holidays are for a variety of reasons and here you can relax, eat out,... more
