Stopover Nice - Paris
The hotel is a perfect stop over between Nice and Paris if traveling by car. We ate at the restaurant and also took massages in the spa. The restaurant could be great but we were surprised by the 70’s cuisine, even if it is fairly well executed. The spa was a highlight and is of a very high standard. The rooms and particularly bedding are comfortable.

The half indoor, half outdoor pull w jets is a big plus. The restaurant is top rated by famous G. Blanc. There is even a consistent theme throughout in terms of decoration that prepares either for the spa experience or for the culinary delights.

Good for a stop over
The hotel was nice. For a place to stop on the way to the south it was great. I’m unsure if I would enjoy staying multiple nights as things to do are fairly limited. Food in the evening was lovely though. Worth the money. Morning buffet was nice. Swimming pool was nice and clean. Room was ok. We had adjoining rooms so with kids was perfect.

The restaurant is quite nice, and is really the only place around the hotel. Once the trains stop running (only about 2/3 times per hour), it is amazingly quiet and peaceful. Nice little bar with counter, chairs and couches to have a relaxing drink prior to and after dinner. The staff is very accommodating.

A great hotel in a vineyard
From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. The staff carried our bags for us and when we went down for a drink by the pool there was no problem getting a Rosé. We had dinner there and the food was fantastic. They also had tennis courts which we didn't use. An excellent stay.

Lovely Surprise
Just returned from a great four night stay at Les Maritonnes. The hotel has been tastefully remodeled, and is even more attractive than the pictures. The front desk staff were all wonderful and helpful, but I would like to especially compliment Maele. She warmly welcomed us at our arrival, and helped us plan out our stay, making several calls to vineyards and restaurants. She did everything with a smile and very gracious attitude. We enjoyed our dinner at the hotel's restaurant and received excellent recommendation to other restaurants in the area. Overall, a fantastic stay, and couldn't be beat for the price. The step up from the standard room is definitely worthwhile for the added space and modernity.

Nice stay
A good restaurant with great food and service that was open late (9pm) when eveything else we found in the area was closed. There was confusion about a dessert selection but they comped the mistake and provide us with another with no fuss. The room was small but pretty standard for hotel rooms in France.

Great Hotel in a Great Location
Hotel staff was very helpful and cooperative. the rooms are very nice, but small. Bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom & shower was clean and in great condition. The breakfast (not included in the room price) was very tasty and the ambiance was superb.
