We just stayed there for three nights and really enjoyed it. We had a beautiful, large room with a big bath. It overlooked the town which basically means you look out over a ten foot wide pedestrian street and right at other buildings. It has a beautiful restaurant, with great food and service.

Access to the hotel is challenging given no parking and during the peak season the town is really packed. We were there in October which worked out fine, but summer crowds could drive hotel guests nuts. The town can be seen in half a day so if you are visiting the area in the summer I'd recommend you stay some distance away and do a day trip and have lunch on the hotel's terrace. Off season, a one or two night stay is well worth it.

I always write a review of any hotel we stay, and its not very often do I have 'no compaints' The hotel is charming, well run, clean, suitable for anyone, except persons with walking difficulties, The breakfast, on the patio, the afternoon teas and cakes,(all included the price) the little extras in the rooms, the free drinks etc etc, You will find the staff most helpful,they got us a car hire delevered to the hotel, they are polite and friendly, the location is in a 14 century walled village on top of a hill, the village is quaint and has many little shops mainly arty crafty type, (about 50) several cafes and restaurants, getting to the hotel is a little difficult, and interesting, but the taxi drivers at the bottom of the village, will take you and your cases up the hill,navigate down a very narrow street to your Hotel. The coast is a mere 20 minutes away, and do visit The Royal beach restaurant in Antibes(on the beach left hand side)its excellent., I would also mention that the hotel Le saint Paul has an excellant restaurant, a rather fussy menu, but non the less, very good.
A lovely way to spend 3 or 4 days, you will enjoy it, if you hire a car a look around the area ,so much more, even Nice, busy, but well worth a visit, but I prefer to stay outside at St Paul , near Vence
a mere 25 mins away from Nice.
Do try and met the manager, who likes to greet his guests in person, a charming man, and someone who cares about his Hotel.

Other than the fact that the rooms are on the small side, this is a totally charming hotel with a very friendly staff. The restaurant well deserves its Michelin star and serves creative cuisine that is definitely worth the cost despite what other reviewers have said. We recommend it without reservation.

St Paul de Vence in a tourist trap. It gets umpteem coach parties a day and many other visitors who crawl around the place and can make it feel overrun at times. Nonetheless it has real charm; it's a very old hill top village and away from the main shopping street surprisingly quiet early in the morning and after around 6.00pm really very charming. It is also perfectly suited to visiting the Cote d'azur being 10-15 minutes drive from the autoroute traffic willing.

This hotel is one of two inside the village walls. To get to it by car you have to negotiate rising bollards and drive around the narrow steets to get to a baggage drop point. From there a very helpful member of staff took our bags to our room, parked our car in the village's car park and returned the keys to it. After a day trip you just drive into the village and park the car. The narrow streets may put some off.

The hotel is a delight. We had a room overlooking the valley which was a good size (for the rambling building of the hotel) but very very expensive. The bed was large and comfortable. We had a small seating area and large bathroom. The bathroom was lots of marble, double sinks, large bath and good large shower plus toilet and bidet. The room had 2 windows overlooking the rooftops and the dining terrace. Double glazed windows meant any noise could be blocked but the village is pretty quiet at night.

Breakfast is limited (and expensive) to pastries, coffee, fruit juice, yoghurt and fruit compote. Anything else is extra. It can be had on the terrace or in room.

Because the hotel is in the village it does not have a garden but has a small dining terrace. No views but surrounded by flowers and shaded by parasols.

We ate dinner there twice. The 1st time was in the dining room as the weather was iffy. The second time was outside. The food was good except for desserts which were poor. Short but good wine list. Dinner the 1st time was marred by a rather grumpy maitre'd. Something had got his goat and he was being rude to staff (very apparent in a small dining room) and there was much sighing when we decided we wanted a cheese course. Second time he wasn't there.

Overall the staff were charming and very helpful. They always made time for you and made you feel they were glad you were staying. Very good housekeeping. No issues about booking other restaurants. They realise that access to the hotel is a little challenging and work hard to make this as easy as possible for guests.

After arrival a small tray of goodies and bowl of flowers is delivered to your room - a nice touch.

Overall very good.
