Location & what to see
Carros lies in the Nice hinterland, between the Prealps hills and the Var plain. The Les Plans area, where the hotel is located, is distinct from the hilltop old village: the surroundings combine valley roads, residential areas and wooded slopes. This location suits travellers who want to explore Nice and its coastline while keeping access to inland villages. Walks in the hills and excursions by car make it easy to enjoy a stay here.
Old Carros retains its narrow streets and its castle, which houses the International Centre for Contemporary Art. Parc de la Tourre is nearby for a walk in the greenery. The villages of Colomars and Gattières also offer places to stop and enjoy the valley scenery. Nice offers a different itinerary: Musée Matisse displays the artist's works in the Cimiez district, while Place Masséna and Promenade du Paillon provide access to the city centre and its public spaces. Colomars–La Manda station is accessible from the hotel; a car makes it easier to visit the hinterland.
The Mediterranean climate makes it possible to enjoy the region in every season. Summer is well suited to swimming on the coast and evenings in central Nice, although the coastline is busier. In spring and autumn, temperatures are generally milder for exploring villages and walking in the hills. You can split a day between the old town of Carros and the museums or seafront in Nice; in winter, walks around Nice's districts are still an option when the weather is fine.
What guests say
Travellers particularly appreciate the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, both of which receive very good ratings. Staff and Wi-Fi also receive good reviews.
