La Villa des Oliviers

Check-in is from 4pm. We arrived at 2.30 but just grabbed a coffee at one of the many nearby cafes/restaurants until it opened. Very nice and humorous chap checked us in. We mentioned we wanted to practise our French so he refused to speak English to us while we there - worked a treat! Room was immaculately clean and beds very comfortable. It was very small, but we knew that beforehand. Towels and toiletries ok, shower a little cramped for me. Great position, literally a 2 minute walk to beach and very close to lots of restaurants/bars/cafes. About 15 minute walk to Hippodrome. It’s not too close to the ‘city centre’ but we used Ubers (pretty cheap) and free coastal bus a lot. Well worth visiting are Renoir’s house and the medieval town at Haut Cagnes-sur-Mer (go to Jimmys restaurant here - great view and food). Finally, 10 minutes away from airport but 30 euros(!) in a taxi. Uber back to airport 15 euros.

Excellent location for this nice hotel : 100m from the beach, 5mn walk from many restaurants, close to the airport, Nice and Antibes. The hotel is great with everything you would expect from a 3* (while it is inly rated as a 2*) plus a fantastic staff!

We picked this hotel because it was within short driving distance of Nice airport. The reception was both welcoming and humorous... Provided with full information including some excellent restaurant suggestions, an agreeable start to our visit to Cagnes sur Mer. This lovely small hotel is a "mother and son" operation and the care and attention show from first to last minute. The rooms are not grand but small, clean and comfortable. No hesitation on returning to stay when in the area.

Location is fantastic, a 2 minute walk to the beach with it's beautiful long promenade and many restaurants & cafés, We stayed overnight in a downstairs lovely "basic double room with garden view". The room was compact, immaculately clean with beautiful décor, comfortable bed and lovely new bathroom with soap/shower get/shampoo/body lotion. The host was absolutely delightful with a wonderful sense of humour. Very good Wi-Fi and free on-site parking. Excellent value for money - would highly recommend.

The host was EXTREMELY rude! Check in is in a very limited period of time, which is crazy since this hotel is located very close to an international airport, and travelers often arrive later than 8:00pm. We arrived at 8:30pm, rang the bell and the host came grudgingly to the door and proceeded to lecture me about how it was after 8:00 pm, and did I not receive his email with the code to the door?! (I had not, since my phone would not work in France). He proceeded to check me in with a frown, a lot of huffing and puffing and an eye-roll. We have stayed in many hotels in France and never have we been treated so rudely! He acted like he was doing a favor letting us stay there. The hotel was beautiful, clean and comfortable. . . but for us, hospitality is more important and, that being the case, not only will we never stay there again, but will recommend to our friends to stay far, far away from this place!!! The icing on the cake is that I chose initially to email the host with feedback rather than to post in public forum with a suggestion that he obtain some help to check people in ,and he responded with an incredibly rude email telling me that I did not respect his policies. Who is the customer here? This guy needs to get in to another business. . . I cannot figure out why on earth he would be in the hospitality/service industry with an attitude like this!

......La Villa des Oliviers is in a great position. My bedroom had a sea view, air conditioning, a sunny balcony, all perfect and best of all at a very reasonable price ! Will definitely return when visiting the Côte d'Azur as ideal for exploring the whole area either by train, bus or car. So near to the beach for a quick dip before or after a day's touring.

We stayed at this hotel for a week and had a lovely time. Beautiful small hotel close to the beach. Clean, fresh rooms. The owners were so kind and helpful and we really felt welcome there. Delicious breakfast well worth the price. We will definatly come back.

The Location is almost perfect , less than one block from the ocean , no breakfast included and if you want breakfast its 9€ per person , the front desk guy very helpful and friendly , two blocks from the bus that take you to Nize , Monaco and the towns near , great restaurants around , small room but will stay again .

We wanted to sleep our last night in this hotel but we coudnt get there in time (20.00 hrs) so they cancelled our room, but we still had to pay the full price! They wouldnt help us to get the key somewhere else, so they werent helpfull at all, never had such a bad service! Be aware of this!!!
