Hôtel la Grande Bastide

We stayed for about 5 nights at this very nice boutique hotel, which is located about a 5 minute drive from the historic town of St Paul de Vence. The hotel is located on a hill just across the valley from St Paul, which affords guests an extraordinary view of the old town. Rooms are traditionally furnished and very clean. The bathrooms have very large and luxurious marble sinks, which are convenient and beautiful. Hot and cold water temperatures in the shower can be difficult to control, but there is ample hot water and good water pressure. The pool is beautiful. The buffet-style breakfast is excellent and the dining room staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast can be enjoyed either in the dining room or on several tables situated on a veranda with extraordinary views to St Paul, to Nice and to the sea. Just a 15 minute drive to the Nice airport, this is a terrific and relaxing place to stay.

Difficult to find. Ridiculously expensive. Actually a basic enough 3 Star by the roadside facing a used car garage. Bathroom door wouldn’t close and no lock. Rooms dated. No coffee or tea facilities. Parking up a steep incline. 25 minute walk to St Paul de Vence with very little footpaths. Terrible check out experience with an old man with an ill fitting Rolex who couldn’t have been ruder to my partner and I. It’s unfortunate as all of the other staff from the cleaner, to the lady owner couldn’t have been nicer. My advise upskill the old man on reception or get rid of him and he’s dragging down your business.

Really fantastic. A home away from home. Very, very clean and well taken care of. People nice and helpful. Magnificent view to St Paul de Vence. Really you cannot find any disadvantages. Very strategically located if you wish to drive around Cote d' Azur.

Just back from a fabulous stay in this gorgeous little hotel. All the staff are amazing (special thanks to Sylvie who is so accommodating). Lovely pool area which was so quiet we often had it to ourselves. We stayed in Suite 14 which was so spacious with excellent air conditioning and outdoor space. A perfect view of St Paul de Vence from this hotel. The gardens are immaculately kept. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Nice small hotel. Feels like coming home. Very nice, romantic room, very good breakfast. Service is great, very nice people. Small, but very nice pool, with sunbeds, towels. Nice environment. Lots off things to do. I can anyone recommend this hotel.

Charming and friendly boutique hotel , staff very attentive , a special Mention to Sylvie , who is wonderful. We had room 6 and 10 6 a sunny corner room with attractive covered terrace with views of the pool and countryside , room 10 , a bigger duplex , lots of space with small Private garden area , but limited views . You do hear a little road noise whilst by the pool , but it is background , light traffic St Paul De Vence is a 2 minute drive , we had a car and made use of the underground car park when visiting the town , but the hotel have a charming Citroen 2CV to shuttle you ( until 8pm ) Breakfast was a good buffet style . We shall return , please give it a go , you won’t regret
