Chateau Le Cagnard

My husband and I stayed in Le Cagnard for three nights while visiting Nice and the experience was the highlight of our experience. We felt like we were living in a medieval castle (though a very comfortable one) perched on a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff and restaurant were excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful. Though the hotel is a little out of the way it was was worth the effort to travel back and forth each day. Highly recommend!

Adorable hotel tucked inside a medieval village. The rooms are well-appointed and thoughtfully updated (AC and an elevator), while still keeping that fairytale charm of the town. The restaurant was outstanding with fantastic Scandinavian French dishes. Service, however, could be more attentive to match the high level of the food. Overall, a magical spot worth the stay.

We were made to feel very welcome from the outset and the friendliness and attentiveness of staff was a constant throughout our stay. The hotel is in a stunning location and it helps if you take a comfortable pair of walking shoes to navigate some of the steep inclines. It’s worth knowing that it’s around a 20 minute walk to the nearest train station, which is the easiest and most convenient way to explore the coast. The hotel itself is stunningly furnished and our room was absolutely perfect, enhanced by the terrace. Food was excellent and we had dinner twice at the hotel restaurant, living up to its Michelin recommendation. Without doubt, we’d love to go back soon.

De kamer en het uitzicht

Perched atop the ancient ramparts it exudes originality. The property is inaccessible, directly, requiring winding walks on cobbles via a labyrinth of steep steps and alleys. Would be impossible if you have a lot of luggage or are unfit. Once there you can usefully spend a day exploring the immediate surrounds and enjoying the view. You should NOT base here if your intention is to explore NIce, Canne or the Cote d'Azur in general. Nor should you spend more than a night as, captive once ensconced, the property does not have extensive amenities. A charming stopove in a more extensive itinerary.

Very quaiint and charming boutique hotel with an incredibly nice and accommodating staff. Also, 5 star restaurant serving breakfast/brunch and dinner.
