Faucon-de-Barcelonnette Vacations from $1,005

What a beautiful hotel. It is so clean, so well designed and really has stood out in our trip around south of France as a family of three. The size of the room is fantastic, so spacious and clean and the views are really something. It felt safe, quiet and very relaxing. It is so affordable and we will definitely be back. This hotel is really amazing.

This is not a conventional hotel; Reception is often unattended and guests are trusted to look after themselves. Maids will not enter your room when you are out to tidy, clean and make the beds, though a member of staff did offer us clean towels when we needed them. For those on a budget, there are facilities for preparing and eating food in the rooms. Everything is clean and well appointed. The staff - mostly young women, as far as I could make out - are exceptionally charming and helpful. I was contacted by a staff member a day or two before our arrival, to give us instructions on how to find the hotel and access the hotel using a pass-code. She also provided prompt information when I asked for it. Our room overlooked a main road but we were not disturbed by traffic noise because double-glazing reduced external sound by at least 95%. The rooms are air-conditioned, of course. AMMI is nicely situated on the edge of the old city, just seconds from the lanes and passage-ways which make this part of town so attractive, with their bars, cafes and restaurants. I'd guess that it's a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Recommended!

The only thing it was a little noisy. We were facing front of the street.

Everything was solid for the price we paid. I just wish I knew that the elevators stopped between floors and we needed to bring our suitcases up half a flight. And that we couldnt be dropped pff by uber in front of our hotel as its a pedestrian street. So we had to walk a block with our suitcases as well. Everything else was great. Staff helped when needed. Shower pressure good. Update rooms and good size

Victoire and her team were excellent and hospitable from the time we arrived and throughout our 4 day stay. We loved the location! Very walkable!
