Really they do not come much better than this. We stayed here for several days in spring 2005 and had a wonderful time. As innkeepers on a rare break we decided to treat ourselves and booked the best room open for our stay. Quiet Comfortable and relaxed great breakfast and the finest company all around. too cool for the pool but great night to use the onsite telescope to do some star gazing. As I said this one is one of the best. But be prepared to do some hiking if you like to walk the whole town is on a steep hill.

To visit La Rivolte is like stepping into a world of sublime gracious living. Cathy and Jon are the perfect hosts - They are never intrusive but they are never far away when you want them to give advice about the area. Their three cats also give you their own welcome - each with its own character they give La Rivolte that personal feeling - you are not visiting a cold unloved mansion - you are priviliged to be staying in a beautifully maintained and well loved home. Peace and tranquility engulf you from the moment you arrive - climbing the marble staircase you will find the rooms are spacious and airy - (we know, we have tried all of them over the years!) - each has its own special charm and character. The gardens allow you to meander amongst the most amazing perfumes - fruits cling to orange and lemon trees and from the old gnarled olive trees if you are at the right time of year. The uninterrupted views across Grasse are stunning - to sit at one of the tables on the extensive terrace sipping a glass of chilled local wine - bliss! Needless to say we recommend it unreservedly. But we don't want it to become too popular or the next time we try to book we shall be told all rooms are reserved!
