Menton France Cote d' Azure

Cote Sud

15 Quai Bonaparte 06500 Menton

Dinner at the "Cote Sud" restaurant in Menton France was a delightful experience. The prices are reasonable and the food GREAT! Fantastic atmosphere, walls of honey coloured stone, wooden stairs, cosy with a view of the Cote d' Azure. It can't get better than this.

The staff speaks English and are very friendly. When in Menton France you must go to eat at Cote Sud restaurant!

Tritone Hotel Venice - Mestre Viale Stazione 16, 30171 Venice - Mestre

Although Tritone Hotel Venice Mestre is 9 km from Venice city center it is a great location because the city bus stops in front of the hotel and it is a short ride to and from Venice.

We dropped off our rental car in Venice and found it very convenient to purchase a 72-hour transportation ticket for a water bus, and regular bus service which were all pretty frequent and takes you just about anywhere you want to go.

In the afternoon we just took the bus to our hotel where we found cakes, coffee, sparkling water etc. waiting in the lobby for us to enjoy there or take to our room. While sipping my coffee I would catch up on my emails, change my shoes and then just hop back on the bus to Venice for dinner in St. Marks Square. Rooms are clean, staff very friendly, good assortment of goodies for breakfast and free Internet is always a plus.

Hotel Hermitage. Via Ginepraia

We stayed at the Hotel Hermitage. Via Ginepraia, 112. 59016 Poggio a Caiano. telefono +39 055 877040 fax +39 055 8797057. Outside of Florence centre. Good rates, clean and we found the staff to be helpful and friendly. Although it was recently renovated it has the look of the 60's. Not close to Florence (centre), we had a car so it was a breeze to drive to and from the Hotel to many parts of Italy.

One day we decided to drive to Cortona then to Siena and back to Florence in the evening for dinner, after which it took 15 - 20 minutes driving through village’s to return to the hotel from Ponte Vecchio.

Cortona

Hotel Napoleon

September 2010, Hotel Napoleon located on the Cote d'Azur, close to Monaco and Cannes on the west side and close to Ventimiglia Italian border on the East. Good food, friendly service and clean very nice rooms. When in this area again I would definitely stay at Hotel Napoleon in Menton France.
