Chambres d'hôtes Les Iris

Both rooms sleep up to three people and measure 22 m². They each have air conditioning, a private bathroom with a bath, a terrace and a coffee machine. The views take in the mountains, the town and local places of interest. A flat-screen TV is among the shared amenities.

The Double Room with Terrace has one large double bed and one single bed. The Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Mountain View has three single beds, a layout suited to travellers who prefer separate beds. Both rooms have an outdoor space and mountain views; the second stands out for having only single beds. The bathrooms also include free toiletries and a hairdryer. A dining table and coffee machine are among the available amenities.

The heated outdoor swimming pool has a shallow end, a swim-up bar and sun loungers; parasols and pool or beach towels are also provided. The garden, sun terrace, outdoor furniture and dining area let you enjoy the open-air spaces. A barbecue and picnic area complete the facilities.

The restaurant serves French, Italian and Mediterranean dishes, with children's menus as well as vegetarian, vegan and lactose-free options. Breakfast is available, and the accommodation has a coffee machine or kettle. Free private parking is available on site, and Wi-Fi is free in the rooms. Activities include table tennis, hiking, cycling, walking tours, horse riding and canoeing. Cooking classes and themed dinners are also offered.

Sospel stretches along the Bévéra valley, between the mountain ranges of the Alpes-Maritimes and the roads linking the hinterland with the coast. Its old town retains narrow lanes, historic façades and the Pont-Vieux, a landmark of the village. The church square and the passages around the Bévéra make for a leisurely stroll; the surrounding area also draws travellers who enjoy mountain scenery and characterful villages.

Château de Sospel is 450 m away, and Saint-Michel Church, known for its Baroque decoration, can be visited in the town centre. The fortifications bear witness to the strategic importance of this Alpine valley: Musée Fort Saint-Roch, 820 m away, explores its history, while Ouvrage de Saint-Roch recalls the region's defensive role. Sospel railway station is 200 m away. To reach the coast, Menton and the Riviera offer a different atmosphere, with beaches, seafront promenades and access to coastal towns. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is 28 km from the accommodation.

Fine weather is well suited to hiking, cycling and excursions to the forts or hilltop villages. In summer, plan breaks during the hottest hours and take water for mountain routes. Spring and autumn often offer pleasant conditions for exploring the valley on foot. You can spend a day discovering the old town in the morning and walking in the surrounding hills in the afternoon; if the weather changes, the fortifications and museums offer another way to explore the local heritage.
