Find the Best Greolieres Hotels

We were enroute to Vence, using the bus from Grasse - what a lovely trip. We stopped off at this hotel for an overnight stay and what a gem we found. Jean Pierre made us feel very welcome. The hotel was clean and tidy, the rooms more than adequate for us, with great views of the Gorges. I can also recommend the pub next door - although not linked to the hotel, we did enjoy a number of local beers sitting under the orange trees - with the sun shining! The restaurant and meal was very good. We had the set menu of 43 Euros, which was very good value and very good quality. It was such a positive experience that after we walked to the waterfalls on Sunday morning, we had our Sunday lunch there, sitting outside on the terrace. If you are heading this way, I can recommend this hotel - or even just the restaurant if you are not staying. Overall our trip was very good value.

It would be hard to really put into words how special this trip was. We arrived in Nice in the early evening, rented a car and drove to Grasse. As soon as we pulled into the driveway of Hotel La Bellaudiere we noticed the amazing terrace and a group of guests sitting and enjoying some wine. We knew we were in the right place and couldn't drop our bags off and get to that terrace fast enough. We sat there all night on a beautiful warm spring night, watched the full moon rise and reveal beautiful moonlit vistas of the valley below and a glimpse of the Mediterranean in the distance. The lights of Antibes and Cannes clearly visible as well. It was magic. We spent the whole night chatting with other guests as the came and went more or less doing the same thing as us. Our proprietor Francois took brilliant care of us the entire time and by the time we finally went to bed, we were all fast friends. The morning revealed beautiful open views of the valley below us, trees with the early stages of leaves coming out and every spring flower imaginable in full bloom. Breakfast was fresh bread and croissants, jam, yogurt, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. We could have asked for eggs or something else, but why? That was our first 12 hours. There's not enough room for the rest. It was an amazing trip in an amazing region of France. Francois and his team could not have been better. We had dinner twice in the hotel after local excursions to nearby points of interest. The food was excellent. By the time we left we felt like part of the family and we can't wait to go back. This is not a big name luxury Hotel experience. This is like visiting your dear friend's home. That's they way you are treated, like a good friend. Its a wonderful place with a lot of history and perfect for the traveler that wants to explore the local area without much of a plan enjoying the gorgeous scenery and eating delicious food. Thank you Francois and team. We will be back and we will send others. Merci Beaucoup!
