The hotel is single storey with a series of rooms leading off from the central reception area... more

This was our second time staying at this hotel. The location is perfect--not too far away from Nice and all the other beautiful spots on the Riviera, including the hill towns. A ten minute walk to the old town of Vence-plenty of shops and restaurants. The beautiful hill town of St. Paul is only a 5 minute drive. The hotel... more

We spent two nights here, returning after a prior visit in 2002. Happily, we found that this quiet, secluded hotel had maintained its excellence. The Cantemerle is on the outskirts of Vence, a short car ride (parking is tough in town) or about a 10-15 walk to the old town, which is filled with shops and terrific cafes and restaurants.... more

Lovely hotel. Helpful, relaxed, polite & friendly staff. Though we were only there a short time our stay was very enjoyable. Expensive, but that seems the only way in the area. more

Every year for the past three we have spent a few days here and it won't be a surprise if we say we think it's a great place to stay. The hotel is a good base for visiting many of the highlights of the Cote D'Azur and is only 20 minutes from Nice airport. The hotel itself is relaxing, with... more

We spent a few nights at the hotel in July of 2005. The rooms were great -- and the staff was wonderful. The grounds/pool areas are beautiful and the hotel is... more

We stayed at the Cantemerle for 4 nights in June and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The accomodation was excellent and the surroundings restful and relaxing. As there are not very many rooms, despite being fairly full, we almost had the 2 swimming pools to ourselves. The staff were courteous and helpful at all times, and the fact that it is... more
