We had a 12 night stay at la mas candille and very much enjoyed it . The entrance is amazing, large iron gates and a very long drive with nice landscaping . Check in was friendly and we were happy they do check the required covid vaccination status for all guests. Rooms are elegant and comfortable . We do recommend getting a room facing the valley rather than the other side: which is gardens or even parking lot . They left a 1/2 bottle of champagne and a lovely fruit plate as a welcome gift. Much appreciated. The full restaurant was closed but the bistro was elegant and top rate food , if a limited menu . Understandable for a small restaurant . The outside dining terrace is beautiful and romantic, service excellent . The property itself has lovely , spacious grounds with the main pool being the crown jewel : large , not crowded, with a good selection of food and drink . But the people are what make this hotel . Nicolas, at the pool, helped us get a restaurant reservation on a night when it was a difficult task due to demand - he did it ! Frank from the front desk gave us great ideas what to do in Cannes , including a ferry to the little islands offshore ( who knew ?) . Special mention to the incredibly hard working, friendly , and efficient assistant manager Julie , don’t think she rests much . Thank you for all your great information Julie, help in many other ways , and for your warm hospitality ! Last is the location , a short , if uphill walk, to many restaurants in the medieval beautiful village of mougins . We also did day trips by car to eze ( go!) , the mountains , gourdin, and the coast , of course . Try avoid coming back in rush hour though , if you can , gets a bit busy . We would stay here again without hesitation !
