Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel de la Darse

32 av. Général de Gaulle, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06230, France

The most desirable rooms at this simple yet welcoming 1950s hotel have balconies with sweeping panoramas—so who needs luxury fittings and fabrics when you can have a view of the old harbor for a reasonable rate? Even the kid's breakfast (€5) is half the regular price. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the bustle of the town center, an advantage in peak season.

PROS

  • splurge for terrace
  • away from the crowds of town
  • good deal for Villefranche

CONS

  • no elevator
  • a walk to the center of town
  • early-morning-delivery noise
