Hôtel de la Poste  

In Peymeinade, tucked in the hills above Grasse — a mountain-side base close to perfume museums and about 20 km from Cannes beaches. This pet-friendly, boutique hotel offers free on-site parking; a beach shuttle and airport/train transfers can be arranged for an additional fee.

Small and bold: just 13 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and modern bathrooms (showers, hair dryers, complimentary toiletries). Expect a poolside, terrace-and-garden vibe with onsite massages and a hair salon for easy pampering. Multilingual staff, concierge service and an elevator keep things simple.

Seasonal outdoor pool, poolside dining with pool views, bar and coffee shop, plus massage services and a hair salon. Concierge, express check-out and luggage storage are available. Free self-parking on site; shuttle transfers to the beach and train/airport pick-up can be booked for an extra charge. Wake up to Provençal mornings and step straight into the poolside atmosphere.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected.

A poolside restaurant serves Middle Eastern cuisine with pool views; a coffee shop/cafe and a bar are on site. Continental breakfasts are offered on weekdays and weekends for a fee.
