“A charming hotel in a Belle Époque building oozing feminine glamour. Expect classic furnishings, quirky wallpapers and potted plants in the chequered black-and-white tiled lounge area, while rooms have luxurious fabrics and lovely walls featuring a gilded bird-of-paradise pattern. A gem!”

Villa Otero

Step back into the Belle Époque with a stay at this historic hotel. Everything from the royal-blue furnishings to the feather headbands worn by reception staff nod at the Riviera’s Jazz Age and the hotel’s namesake, Caroline Otero, a notorious beauty and courtesan.
