Handsome white mansion at the end of the promenade. A villa Belle Époque
with balustrade stairs really. It has a wide terrace for meals and drinks beside
a lovely swimming pool next to a pine park. Public rooms are in 1900’s style.
Familial ambience. Double-glazed windows in refined bedrooms that are well
equipped but sometimes quite small, which prices vary. Some have airco. The food
is not up to the pretensions, unfortunately. I would say, “stay there, but eat
elsewhere” Rooms go for 46-95 € for singles and 51 to 112 € for doubles.
Hotel Le
Dauphin, 28 avenue du Géneral de Gaulle tel
0493357637 fax 0493353174
A cheerful modern seafront building in a residential area. It is in fact a hotel
for musicians. Indeed, it has two soundproofed rehearsal studios, each with a
baby grand piano and room rates include one hour’s free use. Musicians this is
for you! I figure this is one of the best values on the Riviera. Very spacious
breakfast terrace with plants and parasols. Most bedrooms have a balcony are
spacious and have air condition. Lift, lounge, bar, tearoom. Double-glazing
eliminates street noise. Prices go from 55.50-76 €.
