Hotel Lou Castelet

Hotel Lou Castelet offers five room categories: Standard and Superior Double Rooms, a Superior Twin Room, a Superior Quadruple Room and a Junior Suite. All have air conditioning and a private bathroom. The rooms have mountain views and are equipped with a flat-screen TV; soundproofing is also among their features.

The Double and Twin Rooms accommodate two people. The 32 m² Superior Quadruple Room can accommodate four guests and has a seating area. The Junior Suite is the most spacious category, with 40 m² and a separate seating area. The Superior Rooms also have a seating area, unlike the more compact 22 m² Standard Double Room. Depending on the category, you will also find a coffee machine, a minibar or tea and coffee-making facilities.

The hotel provides free private parking, Wi-Fi throughout the property and a fitness centre. Outside, you will find a seasonal swimming pool, a sun terrace and a garden. Sun loungers, parasols and pool or beach towels are available for enjoying time by the water.

The restaurant serves meals and offers children's menus and special diet menus on request. A snack bar and a bar complete the dining options; the breakfast buffet can also be served in your room. A kettle and a coffee machine are available in the rooms. For families, the hotel has a children's playground, outdoor play equipment and a games room. The 24-hour reception provides services including luggage storage, and a lift serves the floors.

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.
