I was travelling to the Côte d'Azur for a wedding and stayed at La Rivolte for a long week-end. The villa, located on one of the hills overlooking Grasse, is very beautiful and has preserved its homely feel. It is in walking distance from the center of the city but is very secluded and you feel miles from the city. My room was spacious with a beautiful view of the pool and, in the distance, of the sea. The breakfast was copious and I enjoyed talking with other people on the sunny terrace. Cathy, the manager, was very heplful in providing information on the activities and the good spots in the area. If you are looking for a good place to stay while in Grasse or in Nice, La Rivolte is a very good choice. I know I'll come back.

We have stayed several times at La Rivolte and have never been disappointed. We just adore this place. The setting of La Rivolte is stunning and the views to the coast are magnificent. There is so much to see and do at LaRivolte that you couldn't be bored. The gardens are something to see.

The hosts, Cathy and Jon are so friendly and will give you any advice you need. Nothing is too much trouble. This is the perfect place for a relaxing and stress free holiday. Just writing about the place wants me, to book a flight now and go out there.

We have visted in the Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn and each visit was fantastic. To spend one day in the sunshine out on the terrace and the next day up in the mountains sledging is something else.

You cannot fail to love this place and once you have been, you will want to go back again and again.

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!
