Hotel Vauban

"Excellent stay at LE VAUBAN in Villefranche sur mer. Very clean and comfortable. Vallerie is very helpful and friendly. (Ask about the garden shortcut) . This hotel is a perfect location as the buses are excellent.. They leave from Octroi stop 50 yards away opposite the Tourist Information. Bus 15 goes to Nice every 20 minutes. Bus 607 to Monaco every 30 minutes. The hop on hop off red bus for Nice also stops here. You need to download the bus Lignes d'Azur app and can purchase tickets on there. To return to Nice Airport take Bus 15 to Port Lympia ( Nice Port) and from there get the tram to Aeroport. All for €5 euros. Very easy and convenient. The train station is a 15 minute walk and is a bit steep in places. Villefranche is a wonderful base. "

"At first glance I wasn’t sure but this hotel really has its priorities right. The bed was huge and so comfortable. And I mean really comfortable! The pillows fluffy and the linen crisp and white. The bathroom is equipped with a fabulous drencher shower. And the piece de resistance the balcony and view out to sea perfect for lazy breakfasts, afternoons with your book or evenings watching the sun set. Checkin was east and staff friendly and responsive. There’s ample parking around the streets or 2 car parks within a minute’s walk. Patisserie with fresh coffee and veg shop 2 minutes away. A few streets back from the sea front so away from the noise but less than a 5 minute walk from all the shops and seafront restaurants. We loved it. Thank you. "

"I stayed here for 3 nights in August 2021 with my partner and our stay was perfect! Very friendly, welcoming host, she waited for our arrival and our room was ready much earlier than check-in which we were very happy about. Perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the beach, great value for money with clean air-conditioned rooms including a balcony and comfortable bed. Rooms are also tidied daily. I’d definitely stay again and cannot wait to return!"
