If you have to attend camp there and you have a family, there is nowhere else worth looking at. The staff is so very nice. They helped us with absolutely everything. The room was spacious, with plenty of room for two adults and two kids. Their breakfast is amazing!! Fresh squeezed orange juice, crepes with a warmer, two espresso machines, fresh fruit, cheeses and charcuterie and hot food selection. We ate dinner in the restaurant almost every night. Their kids menu is generous with pizza and steak hache (Salisbury steak) and frites as options. Props to The front desk staff: Lisa and Daniel are my favorites In the restaurant: Nelita took care of us at breakfast and Leo kept the wine glasses full in the evening. We used the tennis court in the back and the pool almost everyday. We stayed in mid-June

This one was my regular for a few years, as it was the right balance between cost and comfort. Not fancy, but with a large enough bar area in the lobby, excellent food in the restaurant (local workers sometimes went here for lunch). Rooms are functional and comfortable. There's a medium-sized pool.

The hotel had French provincial charm, and the grounds were beautiful. The rooms were clean, air conditioned, a good size, chaming and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is only a short drive from the quaint village of Valbonne and also close to Mougines, Antibes, and Grasse, The 12 Euro breakfast was very good with a big selection. The pool was great for cooling off and very pleasant. La Bastide has on site parking and a super friendly stafff. They put up with my miserable French and they also spoke very good English. The place has that wonderful lavender smell that is so nice in Provence. Ask for a room that does not face the street if you want a little more quiet. We loved this place and if we go back to this region, we would definitely stay there again.

For any small independent hotel in France, long experience suggests a number of potential generic…read moreshortfalls that will Peeve the frequent traveller used to the conveniences of large modern chain hotels, typically: - Small rooms - Limited parking, often only suited to small cars - If Air Conditioning is provided, the older and/or cheaper "Single Mode" / "Two Pipe" centrally controlled types (i.e. typically "heat only" in winter, "cool only" in summer), which can be problematic in variable Spring and Autumn weather - "Valuables" rather than "laptop" sized room safes So against that backdrop, how does the Bastide fare? Well, the rooms are relatively large, reasonably furnished with modernised bathrooms, and some have views over the pool. The rooms do have safes, but do suffer from the "not laptop sized" Peeve. It is well presented and maintained, and is in pleasant grounds, but does fall victim to the limited amount of parking provision Peeve (but not the car size problem) if the property is full. The service is good and friendly, with staff fluent in English. The WiFi service is free for up to 2 devices / room, and runs at a reasonable bandwidth. But the air conditioning in the current main building is a Two Pipe offering which is run on Heat Only October-April, so the FCUs (Fan Coil Units) blow hot air in Warm Springs or Indian Summers (I'm told the additional Suite rooms being built for completion sometime in 2013 will have individual air conditioning units which will avoid this Peeve for that part of the hotel in future). The parking and air conditioning limitations impacted on me during a visit in April 2013, so although in many ways I quite like the property, I can't really award more than 3* on balance.

The Sophia-Antipolis branch of the Ibis chain - named their Antibes branch, but a good 20 minutes…read morefrom Antibes - is good value and centrally located if you need to visit this part of southern France (where hi-tech and IT companies cluster). It might be a good choice for a base for holiday excursions if you're not planning to spend much time at the hotel, or bothered about a drive through rush hour traffic to and from your sightseeing adventures each day: it's not an obvious choice for holiday-makers. It's cheap and cheerful, with very small and simple rooms. Meals are decent - it is France, after all. Breakfast is a fairly spartan affair, with boiled eggs, cold cuts and cereal. The bar isn't much more than a few chairs in the lobby. Very close to the slightly more upscale Mercure (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/347805-HOTEL-MERCURE-Valbonne) and much nicer Grand Hotel Mercure.

The room had a comfortable bed and they provided an extra blanket. However, some of the fixtures were somewhat tired and could use a refresh, like the bedside tables and the countertops in the bathroom. Our room had a private area in the garden, which made taking the dogs out in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning very easy. One of my dogs is very pee shy and doesn't like to go anywhere that isn't our garden. However, he felt very at home and ease here (strange thing to put in a Yelp review, I know, but if you have a dog, IKYK!) The ground of the hotel are beautiful. It has a lovely garden with citrus and olive trees, as well as other well designed plantings. Although we were there in mid-November, the pool was still open. There was indoor and outdoor seating for breakfast. The restaurant for dinner is closed most of the week during the off-season so check ahead. The hotel had lots of parking and even had two Tesla charging stations. Check in and check out were straightforward and efficient. I would likely stay here again if I returned to Mougins.

The hotel itself is very nice and picturesque. There is a small but cosy lounge, with elegant French interior design, with a bar and fireplace. There is also a restaurant (later) and a beautiful open courtyard with a swimming pool, beautiful lawns and tables where one can have meals there as well (I would advise breakfast when in-season). The rooms themselves follow the same design philosophy of the hotel - they are very comfortable, spacious and elegant. During my last visit (always corporate), I went to the restaurant, which is quite expensive (25EUR for starters, 35 for main courses, 15 for desserts). The food was quite good, but I would have two complaints - first of all, the menu is very limited (there were 4 -5 starters, 4 - 5 main courses, 4 - 5 desserts) on the evening I ate, there was no beef (i had the choice between lamb, fish or pigeon!!). Secondly the garcons tend to be quite young, inexperienced and maybe also lacking some professionality. Apart from one night in February (where the heating was turned off) and two nights in April (where there were some ants in everyone's rooms) I would recommend this hotel for corporate visits, as it really is quite beautiful (and American clients really enjoy it!). With better service, no ants and heating, I would have given this place a 5 star review.

Maybe if the hotel wasn't so "about that party life" the last two nights in a row (enough to keep the restaurant closed to the guests, just to serve their party) they could have made it to work today. I mean, I made it to the table this morning. After springing forward and hour, being kept up til 2 by the party, it being my vacation and my 42nd birthday.. Yeah, I'm salty
