There are places where knowing how to live comes into its own…
The Hotel Restaurant & Spa Cantemerle is one of them!

Set at the heart of a one-hectare private estate in which hundred year old pines, cerulean sky and birdsong reign supreme – whence its name: cante (song) – merle (blackbird) – our property exudes peace, relaxation and tranquillity.

Nestling on a wooded hillside between the Mediterranean and Les Baous de Vence – only 15 minutes from Nice airport – it embodies charm, elegance and fine living. Far from the madding city but close to all of the amenities, it’s a timeless bucolic interlude that we invite you to discover on your next romantic or family break, or with a group of friends, surrounded by countryside and culture.

The original small farm building would become a beautiful residence with character…

At the time, the “Relais Cantemerle” was a jewel of Art Deco, a glorious testimony to the 1930s. Inviting easy chairs, chrome-plated copper and vintage advertising posters: a fascinating museum piece that was pleasant to visit and where people enjoyed staying as if to re-immerse themselves in History.

Extend to receive guests more fittingly

Eager to offer ever more services to our guests and to meet quality and comfort requirements, the Hotel Spa & Restaurant Cantemerle**** installed new amenities: spa, seminar room and 9 additional bedrooms completed this already more than charming hotel.

30 years of existence: Well-being – Countryside – Culture

Our premises, designed like a spacious private residence, reinvented Provençal elegance. Welcomed by considerate personnel attentive to your slightest wishes and needs, let yourself be escorted to one of our 27 rooms or suites, and around our peaceful garden, to take a little time to live at last.

Francine Eberhardt wished to perpetuate the spirit of the great Provençal villas. Each refined detail was carefully thought out to guarantee top quality service, a blend of well-being, countryside and culture.

These days, luxury manifests itself in the space available to the guest: our 60-m² Marylin suite, our split-level 40-m² Provençal bedrooms and our deluxe 30-m² rooms, all with a terrace opening on to the estate, provide the perfect answer to this criterion and offer our guests a unique accommodation opportunity.

« For me, the plans for the decoration of the Cantemerle became a veritable passion. It was vital that we keep the spirit of the south and leave its authenticity untouched. With Jean-Paul Pfeffer, a very talented interior designer, we put together the decoration in order to give us a unique, regional yet modern character with a touch of culture: lithographs by regional artists (Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Léger, Miro…), sculptures around the estate… The end result was to give us a chic, relaxed atmosphere so that our guests would feel wholly at home. »
