We stayed for two nights and had an excellent dinner with friends on the first night. Our room was a junior suite (no. 12, Saint Vallier), reached by walking up a last flight of stairs with a rather musty-smelling carpet. Junior suites are described as "Rooms with a living room and little terrace." The living room, although furnished with doll-sized furniture, is there, and so is the little terrace: but how disappointing to find that the terrace has no view whatsoever! When you are sitting (or even standing) in the terrace, you expect to look out over the olive trees and the beautiful landscape: yet, all you see is red roof tiles, as the terrace is hemmed in on four sides. No one wants to sit in a terrace like that. One additional note: if you are using the swimming pool, bring mosquito repellant. I sunbathed there for about 40 minutes in the morning, starting at 9 am, and I escaped with 5 very painful mosquito bites. Again, a pity, since the hotel is otherwise a fine one. But memories are made of little details, and these details will spoil it for me.
