The Welcome Hotel enjoys a unique view of the harbour of Villefranche and Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat. This former 17th century convent, now a family hotel, dominates access to the small fishing port; the place has a crazy charm, with the Chapel of Saint-Pierre de Villefranche-sur-Mer - say Chapelle Cocteau. Many artists have stayed there, and continue to be touched by its charm and the sweetness of life that reigns there; this was the case of course of Jean Cocteau who came regularly. It had two bedrooms: the 23rd, Cocteau wrote there "in the sun, on a
balcony surrounded by sea and cicadas," one-on-one with the
Mediterranean, "its cobalt, its sapphires, its turquoises"; and the 22, without any
trace of opium, which was shown to the overly curious police.
For your stay, your room with balcony will plunge on the Bay of Villefranche, which is one of the most beautiful in the world.
You can only be charmed by its wine bar, "the Wine Pier", and you will find nearby some good addresses of restaurants in the village, or if you fancy a getaway on Nice.
The Welcome Hotel is a popular address on the French Riviera, to enjoy the beaches, scuba diving, sea walks, walk in the markets, visit museums and other admirable sites... and we advise you to rent "Orpheus" the sailboat with skipper of the Hotel for an unforgettable outing at sea!.
It is therefore prudent to call to book as soon as possible.
