Chambres d'Hotes Il Monticello

We stayed here for two nights as part of a tour around Europe and honestly words cannot describe the beauty of the place, it is stunning. On arrival we were met by Gucky, the owner, who is a truly welcoming host. Our room was simply beautiful and opened on to a beautiful terrace, complete with sun loungers and a table and chairs, where breakfast is served weather permitting (which is was), Gucky is clearly an avid art fan as beautiful artistic touches adorned the whole place. The garden is truly something else, and Gucky maintains the it herself. It is huge, and the plants, trees and shrubs have to be seen to be believed. There is a beautiful walk along the canal, which is accessed from the rear gate of the hotel. Breakfast was lovely, with fresh breads, croissants, cheeses, jams, etc all of which Gucky presented beautifully The views from the terrace are amazing and although Il Monticello is a mere 15 minute drive to the centre of Cannes, when you're there, you really feel as though you are a million miles from the closest town, as you are surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, Thank you Gucky for a stay we shall cherish

We stayed here four nights at the beginning of our 21-day trip in southeast France, then went back for three more nights near the end of our trip because we missed it. Our host Gucky is an extremely thoughtful person. We felt she treated us like family, offering to help us with lots of things you might not expect a hotel host to worry about. Unbelievably generous, attentive, and hard-working. The house itself is very charming and well decorated, with cool art and other fine touches. I used the pool only once because we were busy with other things, but it was perfect. We also enjoyed meeting and chatting with other guests, all of whom were kind and interesting. A great stay!

We had the most wonderful stay. Fantastic view and location, and a really nice hostess. Would love to stay here again.
