We were taking a relaxing walking holiday going from La Brige in the Roya Valley down to the coast…read moreat Menton on the cote d'Azur. Of all the places we stayed, Villa Amiel in Sospel stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of size and quality of the rooms, breakfast, setting, but more because of the super welcome we got from the proprietors Patrick and Mark. When we arrived we got offered a welcoming drink and they also took the time to chat with us - telling us about the places to visit in and around the village such as the old Maginot line forts and the old chapels in the village. Mark has a wealth of information about great walks in the valley and beyond and his descriptions are spot on too. Come the evening when we wanted to know where to eat they also gave us absolutely honest recommendation for the restaurants (which they booked for us too) Needless to say the food was excellent! (la Mordagne and Relais du Sel) In fact we were so taken by the way we were treated, we stayed another night and frankly we would have stayed longer but they were fully booked after that. But the courtesy and service did not end there. We were going on towards Menton via Castilar but Mark suggested we went by St Agnes and stayed there overnight instead. Again they recommended we stayed and ate at the hotel St Yves (Good food, reasonable accommodation) and then took a route down to Menton that passed by the old town of Roquebrune and even told of a a great place to stay in Menton as well. All in all, our whole holiday was greatly enriched by our stay in Sospel and at Villa Amiel in particular. There is so much we would have missed if we had not met Patrick and Mark. Oh, and one last thing. When we can to pay our bill, the welcome drinks we got on arrival we not included - they were free - which was really quite a nice touch.

Monaco is just a couple of minutes by car away and the walk around Cap Martin promises an impressive view to Monaco.

The rooms were modern, clean and comfartable. The view especially in the morning was great. A little bit small but it was enough for us (young couple), if you are looking for a space try the standard plus rooms. Menton is really cute, close to Monaco and Ventimiglia, Italy. I would definitely recommend the hotel. The breakfast was a bit expensive so we preferred to have breakfast at Au Baiser du Mitron.

Helpful staff, good location, clean rooms…read more This is a clean and convenient budget hotel. The staff is great; they are flexible, helpful, and engaging. We had a reservation for three people for three days, then two people for three more days. Toward the end of it, we realized that we'd need to make another reservation for two on a weekend; they set things up with very little notice. It's a good location: the hotel is a short walk from the beach. The hotel is a few minutes west of the city center and the tourist shops and restaurants--it's a quick walk, but you are away from all the people. Within a couple of blocks you can also find cafes, restaurants, bars, and groceries. There is a farmers market, too, and the train station is directly across the street: from there, you can jump on a train to Italy, Nice, Monaco, etc. The cons: if you are on the Rue Albert 1er side, it's loud. We were on the third floor, and I'm glad we weren't lower. You can hear everything: televisions in the apartments across the street, cars and scooters driving by (especially at 3 a.m.), the insane seabirds that like waking up at 4:00 a..m. and making as much noise as possible. You are also across the street from the train station, so you hear the trains.
