STAY HERE!!! I'm staying here now and can't say enough good things about it. I normally feel excited to be in a new place and want to get going. However, as I entered the courtyard a few days ago, a feeling of serenity overcame me. I realized I could not feel anything except relaxed and at peace while here. Yes, I've been around the city, but have chosen to eat and relax here most of the time because of the ambiance.
Specifically, it feels stately with large stone walkways, halls, and furniture. The finishes in the rooms are all new and beautiful while still retaining the feel of the property. Wonderful beds, linens, plush towels and robes and everything else one would expect from a true five-star resort. The staff goes overboard to be accommodating while not being intrusive. Good personalities and senses of humor. Warm and welcoming. Knowledgeable. Other niceties: fresh flowers in the room, nespresso-type coffee machine, high quality furniture, twice-daily room cleaning and refreshing, a roman bath with changing rooms available even upon arrival along with access to the pools before checking-in :)
Location is truly incredible with gorgeous views of all of Nice and located in the heart of Vieux Nice. I can't think of one single thing that I would suggest needs improvement. The staff has learned that based on the cost, some patrons think food etc. is included, so they make that known early in the stay. Same with the mini-bar items.
