Le Pouzenc

I loved everything about this hotel. The decor the gardens, the pool and the room.

Location - the hotel is 30-40 minutes north of Nice by car or public transport and is situated in Les Moulins - a small village near to Castagniers. The location isn't great as there is nothing to do near the hotel so the only reason to stay here is to save money by not staying in the centre of Nice. Restaurants - places to eat were a problem. The hotel did breakfast (which was good, although charged as extra to the room rate) but the adjacent restaurant was closed temporarily, the next one was closed permanently and other options were strange (a pizza kiosk in the street and a rotisserie combined with a dog salon!). The local convenience store was good though and supplied most of the food we needed. Room - room was ok. The small kitchen was very useful. Bathroom and toilet were fine. Balcony was good. Aircon on full was just about strong enough to bring the temperature down to a tolerable level. Room needed some maintenance. Facilities - swimming pool was really nice and not busy. Tennis court was in good condition. No other facilities to speak of. Overall - a cheaper option than staying in Nice and a good option to get a swimming pool but overall I wouldn't recommend staying here, certainly not without a car.
