Hotel Le Ponteil

The pastel-coloured houses of Antibes are always imagined as basking under the mellow late afternoon sun of southern France. Imagination meets reality at Le Ponteil where the term shabby chic must surely have been invented. Rooms are presented in just that style whilst incorporating essential modern features. A flat-screen satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, a telephone, and a room fan are included and some rooms at Le Ponteil have a balcony or patio space. The garden is as charming as the house and is just the place to relax and reflect, maybe with a glass of chilled wine. Paid parking, shuttle, and car hire are among the available services. The buffet breakfast is a platform for organic and locally grown and prepared dishes. It is then only 300 metres to neighbouring restaurants such as Sapori d'Italia. The 16th-century Fort Caree is approximately one kilometre away and it is only a little farther to Antibes’ port, harbour, and the Esplanade du Pré aux Pêcheurs.
