Fodor's Expert Review Le Hameau
528 rte. de la Colle, St-Paul-de-Vence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06570, France
Less than a mile below tourist-packed St-Paul-de-Vence, with views of the valley and the village, this lovely little inn is a jumble of terraces, trellises, archways, orange trees, olives, and honeysuckle vines. The main hotel, built in 1920, has good-size rooms and old Provençal furniture; you can also opt for the 18th-century farmhouse, with smaller, more modern rooms but wonderful views. Each room seems to skew toward a private world, and several have individual terraces that are perfect for grasses matinées (late, lazy breakfasts, €15).
PROS
- relaxing setting with old-fashioned charm and a pool
- walking distance to Maeght Foundation
- ask for the independent Nid d'Amour room with cathedral ceiling and skylight
CONS
- short but uphill walk to St-Paul-de-Vence with no sidewalk
- narrow staircase leading to rooms that share building with hotel office
- some bookings require two-night minimum
