Auberge de la Madone in Peillon, open JuneSeptember.

Located in the medieval hilltop village of Peillon, Auberge de la Madone operates as a 14-room hotel-restaurant where you can accommodate guests and host celebrations under one roof, eliminating logistics across multiple venues.

The 17th-century stone building offers direct access to the village's narrow streets and panoramic views of the French Riviera hinterland.

A quick hop, skip & a jump from Nice!! We have been before and each time was excellent in every way!! It’s such a unique location and very comfortable in September. The wait staff are very kind and helpful and the food was amazing, presented lovely with great flavors! I recommend ordering the 4 or 5 course menu. Enjoy!!
