All have an en-suite bathroom and a flat-screen TV. The décor is Provençal or rustic, in keeping with the character of the hotel.

Family options include a Classic Triple Room with one single bed and one large double bed, and a Quadruple Room with two single beds and one large double bed. The superior categories stand out for their extra space and mountain views, and the Superior Double Room also has a coffee machine. The Twin Rooms suit travellers who want separate beds.

The sun terrace and outdoor furniture let you enjoy some time outside, while the bar and on-site café offer options for a break or a drink. Breakfast includes continental, vegetarian and buffet options. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. For relaxation, massages and couples’ massages are offered, along with a spa and relaxation area.

Active travellers can use the ski storage room and visit the ski school; activities also include walking tours, hiking, cycling, horse riding, canoeing, fishing and bowling. A golf course is less than 3 km away. After a day in the mountains, the shared lounge with TV and the board games offer places to get together. Family rooms add to the services available for guests travelling with companions.

Barcelonnette is an Alpine town in the Ubaye Valley, surrounded by mountain scenery that shapes the landscape and outdoor activities. You can explore the centre on foot, around its squares, shopping streets and colourful façades. The town suits travellers looking to combine local heritage, mountain walks and a stay in a small town shaped by the seasons.

The Clock Tower and Saint-Pierre-ès-liens Church are among the landmarks in the centre. The Barcelonnette Museum tells the story of the local area, while the Sapinière Park offers space for a walk. Place Aimé Gassier is home to the bus station. The Sauze ski lifts are in the valley; Pra Loup is another resort accessible by car. The hotel runs a free shuttle to the ski slopes from mid-December to mid-April. There is no on-site parking, so bear this in mind if you arrive by car.

In fine weather, you can go hiking, cycling, climbing and paragliding in the Ubaye mountains. Routes vary with altitude and the season; in winter, the resorts and snow activities take over. Mercantour National Park offers Alpine scenery and protected nature, while Siguret Lake is a spot for a waterside outing in summer. You can start the day in the streets of Barcelonnette and continue with a hike or a day on the slopes.
