Belle Aurore

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at this hotel. We had rooms on the 2nd floor which offered the most stunning view of the Cap, the rooms are perfectly big enough with super comfy King beds and very good aircon, we slept so well with no noise at all which was bliss. The hotel staff are lovely and very helpful. We had breakfast on some of our mornings which offered everything you need and other mornings we had breakfast out and about. It's nice there is that flexibility. The swimming pool area is an added bonus and very welcome in the warm weather. The whole place is kept beautifully clean and it really does feel like a boutique hotel. There don't seem to be that many Tripadvisor reviews, however reading the visitors book and talking to other guests I can see that this is a bit of a best kept secret and people really do love this place and return frequently. It's brimming with good reviews. Location - absolutely perfect, so much to do! A 5 min walk down the hill into the Village and Port - lots of restaurant choices, a handy supermarket and a delicious Boulangerie (btw the hotel are fine about you bringing food in). Multiple stunning walks, both around the Cap and a lovely flat coastal path to Beaulieu Sur Mer. We also walked (less than 10 mins) to Villa Ephrussi which is gorgeous and to various beaches on the Cap. The number 15 bus is very frequent and whisks you into Nice, VilleFranche and Beaulieu easily or Uber is very efficient and reasonable. We also used JamTransfers for airport transfer, very reasonable, high grade vehicles, good drivers and on time.

The hotel is very cute and a good location, close to the restaurants, beach and harbour. The issue for us is we have a junior suite with two adults and two teenagers. It only has a queen bed and a pull out that is meant for children so my kids feet were hanging off the edge of the bed. Room is very small and not much space to move around with luggage and bags. Bathroom is also extremely small. Staff is wonderful. So friendly. If you rent a car parking isn’t great. Very limited spots so be sure to book with your reservation.

I think the rooms upstairs are more comfortable and pleasant in terms of surface area and view, but I booked too late. Excellent Welcoming and buffet breakfast well maintained by a very nice person. It is a seaside hotel so except for the Welcoming, the direction, the breakfasts: do not stop at the parking and some small details that make the big houses. Nevertheless, the management knows how to deal with the wishes of the customers.
