聖保羅飯店(Hotel le Saint Paul)

Visiter St Paul de Vence à cette époque de l'année est l'idéal; on peut flâner dans les galeries et visiter les mudées et fondation. Nous avons séjourné au St Paul, situé dans les remparts, un lieu insolite et chaleureux. Le personnel était parfait et aux petits soins. Une mention particulière au guide de l'office du tourisme, un homme passionné et passionnant.

Une très belle expérience. Un accueil chaleureux et familial, pas du tout guindé et qui vous mets tout de suite à l'aise. Nous nous sommes laissés portés à la fois par les conseils du Directeur (au demeurant très sympathique) les suggestions du chef et de la sommelière et tout n'a été que surprises et découvertes. Le cadre est magnifique et le personnel d'une gentillesse incomparable (même si certains sont très jeunes et parfois peu expérimentés mais leurs efforts pour vous être agréables font plaisir a voir.). La maison du 15ème siècle est superbe et les chambres très cosy s'accordent parfaitement dans le décor (sans Télé, Ouf !!). Nous conseillons très fortement (et nous y retournerons).

This was our second time at this wonderful hotel. We decided to return with our adult daughters, to show them this village in the Provence and to stay at this beautiful and friendly hotel. Staff was friendly and so helpful. Our room s were upgraded to mini suites and we enjoyed the town view. After the day tourists leave, it become very quite. The air is very fresh, without pollution. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. This place is so romantic, I recommend it highly.

"on y retournera sans hésiter si l'occasion se présente", écrivais-je sur ce même site voici deux ans. C'est donc chose faite et le moment est toujours aussi enthousiasmant. L'accueil, d'abord : le personnel, simple gentil et attentionné, remet dans l'ambiance avec le passage au salon pour les formalités. Après deux ans, c'est un détail mais le vous étiez déjà venu je crois" à notre arrivée, fait qu'on se sent attendus. Chouette. Et tout au long du séjour, pour une question ou pour le moindre problème, le sens du service était omniprésent. L'ambiance, ensuite : en deux ans, quelques touches de modernisation, bienvenues, ont eu lieu, sans toucher au cachet ni à l'ambiance générale de l'établissement. La chambre enfin, avec ses tentures murales "façon Adèle Blanc Sec" (c'est laudatif dans ma bouche) et son mobiliser à l'avenant, est cohérente, spacieuse, confortable. On met le mot "intimiste" à toutes les sauces mais là, il est dans son acception véritable. Les toutes petites fenêtres de ce premier étage ajoutent à l'ambiance, là encore c'est cohérent. Tellement agréable que, nous qui d'habitude ne restons pas dans les chambres d'hôtel, nous nous sommes surpris à bouquiner, prendre le temps, tout simplement se reposer dans le confort de cette chambre. Chapeau. Bref, ce havre de paix mérite le détour, et comme il y a deux ans... "on y retournera sans hésiter si l'occasion se présente" ! .

Ce fut à l'occasion de l'anniversaire de mon épouse. Un accueil des plus chaleureux et une équipe fort sympathique. Les chambres sont belles et les prestations de qualité. Nous avons pu passer une nuit très agréable et des plus calmes. Le village est magnifique et le cadre de l'hôtel est privilégié dans ce très beau village de St-Paul de Vence. Un établissement que je recommande *****

Room received very little light. In need of renovation. If you are a tourist for a night and desire an overpriced room, low service and hotel with few amenities, then this might work, but I would think there has to be better places to stay in Vence. Management not helpful or accommodating.

My husband and I were in the south of France for three weeks, traveling around to various small towns, but making one location our "hub" for 3-4 night. In this area, we selected to stay in St-Paul-de-Vence having been to the town before and we knew that we wanted to stay at Hotel Le Saint Paul, having seen the lobby from the outside. Our selection could not have been more spot on and our stay could not have been more perfect. The hotel is in the center of the old city and driving into the hotel the first time, with its narrow streets and small passages, was a little nerve racking...but after the first time, entrance/departure from the hotel was a breeze. Their valet parking takes care of everything! The physical space of the building is amazing and I'm sure hundreds of years old...but all updated, modern and comfortable while still maintaining its historic charm. I've read some reviews about the hotel being "tired" or "bland" or "not maintained"....I don't know where those people were staying, but as a former hotel owner, this hotel is in A-1+ shape! Our room, #36 on the third floor", was spacious, airy, lovely decorated and exceptionally comfortable....so much so, we spent most afternoons of our 4-night stay just hanging out in the room, enjoying the a**osphere. The bathroom was beautiful, with double sinks, separate shower and tub, bidet, towel warmer, hairdry...and everything else one could hope for! The rain shower was exceptional and the water pressure and temperature (sometimes a problem in older buildings!) was excellent on both accounts. We arrived early, so our room wasn't ready until 3 pm (which, actually was closer to 2:15 when they were ready for us) so we were greeted by Paul in the Lobby. The lobby was wonderful with exceptionally comfortable chairs, toilets, water table and an amazing view from the window. And Paul, like all of the staff, immediately made us feel at home and welcome. He, like everyone on the staff, took exceptionally great care of us, always stopped to talk with us and were professional and knowledgable about where to go and what to visit. The hotel also has a restaurant where we had every one of our breakfasts and even a lunch. The food was fresh, pastries amazing and eggs beautifully prepared every morning. While the hotel's facilities were exceptional, the staff really were the stars of the show. Every person on the front desk was spectacular, every person working in the restaurant was helpful and friendly and even the housekeeper always greeted us everyday and asked how we were doing and if we needed anything. Now THAT's Relais & Chateaux service!!! I've read with confusion some of the other recent reviews for this hotel, whose guest obviously were staying close to the 4+ days we were there. Obviously, every person has their own experiences. But clearly, these negative comments do not speak to our experience nor any of the experiences from the other guests that we spoke with during our sta

[I'd like to address a comment to the people who have given Hotel Le St. Paul a poor review: if you felt the "condition of the property" was lacking, if you are going to "give the hotel another try" yet found the room "bleak" and the fridge "undersupplied" here's a thought: stay somewhere else. Having personally owned a 16-room boutique hotel and a 5-room bed and breakfast, as well as having extensively traveled around the world, I can attest to the harm petty negative comments like the ones above have on any business. Think twice before you decide to criticize a hotel manager because they were "uncontactable" or calling the staff liars. Words matter.] Our stay at HLSP was fantastic! Paul, Patricia, Charles and all the staff were gracious and welcoming. We got to the hotel earlier than expected and our room, understandably, wasn't ready. Lunch recommendations were offered and off we went. Our room was lovely with the perfect balance of charm and amenities; it had the feeling of a Parisian atelier. There were several seating options that were comfortable for reading or checking email. The bathroom was spacious with a large tub and separate stall shower. We had a minor issue with the showerhead that the staff addressed immediately. When it was discovered that the issue was more involved than originally thought we were offered another room, but we liked our room so much that we declined, and came back from dinner that night to a delicious bottle of chilled rose in our room - delightful service! Breakfast each morning on the terrace was a perfect way to start the day before going out into the country to explore. When we needed our car, it was promptly brought to the waiting area and when we returned there was always someone there to take the keys when alerted. What do we want in a hotel? Great location. A comfortable, well appointed room. Simple yet delicious breakfast. Most of all we want warm, friendly and attentive service. At Hotel Le St. Paul we got it all!
