Find Hotels in Saint-Raphael, France

Had decided my husband and I to offer ourselves a must for a long weekend! We chose the Moorish Villa ( 5-star hotel). Once there, a hostess introduced us to the history of this magical place: an Emir in the 1870s had decided to build his summer residence there. The Moorish style construction has been perfectly preserved and adjusted for the comfort of the guests. The hotel overlooks the sea, has two swimming pools, one of which is heated. The staff is taking care of themselves, both in the restaurant and around the swimming pool and jacuzzis. A multitude of small rotundas and Eiffel-style pavilions bring a chic touch to the undefinable ensemble. We understand the Emir's enthusiasm for this enchanting site. Its seaside location gives it a plus: the vegetation is lush and the alleys are scented in May by the smell of orange trees lining the alleys. Our room (which was not a suite) had a huge private Jacuzzi. Finally, I would add that the whole team is omnipresent without being cumbersom

The hotel is in a quiet residential area but in easy walking distance of a restaurant, bar, shop and bakery. A slightly longer walk along the beautiful coast line brings you to lovely beaches, further restaurants and a pretty beach front shopping and dining area. The hotel communicated very well, giving clear entry information when they knew the reception desk wouldn't be staffed. The rooms are neat, clean and with nice quirky decoration.
