Serre Pelat Ski Lift

The Maison Durante was the perfect find in Nice. We came here after spending our first 4 nights in Cannes. The property was a quick walk about 2 blocks from the Nice Ville train. The hotel was exactly what I was looking for; a true French boutique. There is a courtyard with wrought iron table and chairs and trees for shade which is the perfect place for your early morning coffee. The hotel offers made-to-order breakfast but we already had outside reservations for our 2 nights in Nice. The room was beautifully decorated and clean. The staff was also wonderful and was proactive in making sure we had all the information we needed for arriving from Cannes and for our plans for the rest of our Riviera holiday. The location was convenient, close to the train and trams yet an easy 15 minute walk to the beach and other sights. Overall, a lovely stay and I would absolutely book here again.

Loved this property, perfect size for our needs. The location was perfect.

This is not a conventional hotel; Reception is often unattended and guests are trusted to look after themselves. Maids will not enter your room when you are out to tidy, clean and make the beds, though a member of staff did offer us clean towels when we needed them. For those on a budget, there are facilities for preparing and eating food in the rooms. Everything is clean and well appointed. The staff - mostly young women, as far as I could make out - are exceptionally charming and helpful. I was contacted by a staff member a day or two before our arrival, to give us instructions on how to find the hotel and access the hotel using a pass-code. She also provided prompt information when I asked for it. Our room overlooked a main road but we were not disturbed by traffic noise because double-glazing reduced external sound by at least 95%. The rooms are air-conditioned, of course. AMMI is nicely situated on the edge of the old city, just seconds from the lanes and passage-ways which make this part of town so attractive, with their bars, cafes and restaurants. I'd guess that it's a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Recommended!
