A great overnight stay.
Pros:

We were only here overnight. Wish it had been longer. Spacious room, very comfortable bed, superb sea view. Great breakfast taken on the terrace.
Obliging and friendly staff.
Plenty to see and do in Villefrance sur Mer.

Pros:

Villefranche-Sur-Mer is an ideal spot to use as a home base if you want to visit other communities along the Côte D’Azur and Hôtel Le Provençal is the perfect place to stay.
With idyllic views and a buffet breakfast, you are set up for an enjoyable experience. Both Lisa and Maggie at the front desk were extremely helpful when it came to planning our outings. Also Mathias at the bar was a exceptional, charming guests with his piano playing and serving some amazing french wines.
I guess the only downside to this beautiful hotel are the thin walls which carry sound easily. But a small price to pay for this charismatic hotel.

Great value hotel in good location
Pros:

My wife and I have stayed at the Provencal many times - a recommendation in itself. It is a delightful hotel in a great location being a short walk from restaurants and public transport links. Our room was spotlessly clean with fabulous views over the bay. Breakfast is excellent with a good choice of hot and cold food and very well organised by Maria.
The staff are wonderful, friendly helpful and professional, all managed by the magnificent Maggie, a lovely young lady who cannot do enough for guests.
We have booked again for next year!

Vintage charm, modern comforts
Pros:

What a picturesque and beautiful stay! Everywhere you turn in this hotel is a pretty corner, decorated beautifully with finishing touches. Outstanding service, very friendly staff, 24 hour reception/bar service!! A beautiful piano in the lounge, with live music at weekends. The breakfast was very good, and we were given a little going away gift - a small box of mints but a special touch. Our room was upgraded to a triple with a sea view so we had lovely space with small balcony, and a beautiful view. We honestly did not want to leave.

Original, authentic, eco-friendly experience!
Pros:

If you want an original, authentic experience, give this a try! We stayed for 2 nights. The staff are very nice, and it's very eco-minded, but quirky! You need to book a sea-view room, and the view is lovely, otherwise the rooms face a busy street, and could be noisy. The sea-view room we had was quite basic, and old-fashioned. There is no safe, and most of the plug sockets were quite difficult to reach. The beds were clean and comfortable though. If you agreed with their eco policy, to reuse towels etc, then you had to hang a little green ribbon on the door handle, which we did, then found that our room had not been cleaned, and had to make our own beds! In an emergency, there was a whistle hanging on the wall in the corridor, which you had to blow!!

At breakfast, there were plenty of croissants and types of bread, plus home-made granola, jams and yogurts etc. Scrambled eggs were provided, but you had to cook your own boiled eggs or pancakes. It was lovely to have breakfast in the garden.

The hotel also had some talented musicians, who played in the evening.
So it was quite an original experience!

Recommend!
Pros:

Well located within 5-7 walking distance to the harbor/marina waterfront strip. The rooms + BR are clean and appropriately 3* basic! The terrace is charming (tho mosquito bites omg). The breakfast small but delish + adequate (chia pudding omg amazing). The sea view rooms have a tiny Juliet balcony with pretty views (water is a sliver view, mostly pastel buildings). Like everywhere in the riviera : for the price of nearly 350€ per night for double
Occupancy the size of rooms and Br is small but we never felt cramped. The night sleep was good on firm mattress (but hard pillow). No street noise audible however loud neighbors will ruin it for you if you’re light sleeper as walla are paper thin. The AC in room was amazing (during heat wave). The staff are nice and helpful. Note you get basic toiletries (but no body lotion). Plage de marinneres is a 15 min walk. Surrounded by plenty eateries. We spent two nights in VSM and this place was perfect for our group.

Pros:

This is a little gem (family owned) with sweet guitar evening music and views of the mediterranean. It is up a hill a little but walkable. A park is just around the corner. The staff are so kind and caring. The breakfast is very good and well organized and you can sit out in the garden or inside in air-conditioning on hot summer days.
The room was very clean. An older hotel however it has maintained its standards and charm. Not pretentious, comfortable and felt like home. Oh, did I tell you they have a piano, books, games and a bar that is open 24/7 yet the place is quiet. I will return only to this hotel when in VilleFranche Sur mer.

Pros:

We stayed at this hotel and the experience was great. The atmosphere and staff are great, music live every evening and very good breakfast.

The hotel is 2-3 min walking into town, restaurants and the great beaches of Villefranche Sur mer.

Pros:

The staff at the Provencal were excellent. A lovely warm welcome when we checked in, and loved the art deco styling - the hotel looks beautiful. Mathias and Lucio who both played beautiful music and looked after the bar really stood out. They made an excellent aperol spritz, gave us jazz club recommendations and really looked after us. The pizzas and cheese and meat plates were really good too. Being able to borrow beach towels and umbrellas was really useful. There was lots of choice for the morning breakfast and the location was great to easily walk into town. A really well run place, with a family vibe that made our stay fantastic. We'd love to return.

Beautiful Hotel, Amazing staff!!
Pros:

Beautiful art, deco, boutique, hotel! We arrived early. We had been traveling for 15 hours with a cat. They were able to get us in our room for a nominal fee. The staff was very attentive to our needs. The room had a beautiful view of the water. We enjoyed a very plentiful breakfast, had dinner at the bar. Food was very fresh very good food was wonderful staff top-notch. Live music as we ate dinner outside was an extra we and was wonderful!! 10 out of 10!
