French Riviera Style: Villa La Tour Hotel in Nice
Another handy tip's just come out of the UK Times for those of you seeking a cosy and not-too-pricey place to stay on the Cote d'Azur. The Villa La Tour Hotel in Nice is a small 16-room place located a 10-minute walk from the sea and near the Cours Saleya flower markets. The building was originally a convent dating from the eighteenth century, but fortunately most of the rooms have been renovated recently (and certainly more than once since the convent days).
Recent guest feedback has the usual mix of "good value" and "too small"--but for the price, ranging from just $60 to $160 a night, you can't expect too much. A quick tip: Room 101 apparently has a grotty view of the laneway and some people complain about the lack of an elevator. Like the Hotel de Provence in Cannes, while the rooms are not so big, but it's homely:
Old travelling chests, art books, brown leather chaise longues and candles create a comfortably stylish welcome.
And of course, it's just nice to stay in Nice.
