We stayed at the Hotel de la Darse in a side harbor view room for 4 nights. We had wanted a balcony-room facing the harbor, but alas, all were booked. However, it turned out to be a lovely room - we could open the window fully and from the bed, we had an excellent view of the harbor. The outside shutters could be closed to prevent additional light into the room - we did this each afternoon while we were out to prevent the sun from overheating the room. The room was fairly small, but it was adequate. Note: the hotel does not have an elevator, but we didn't find it too difficult to carry our bags up the fairly wide staircase.

The full breakfast is €12 per person - we usually got just a cappuccino and croissant for €4 per person. It was the way we normally started our days in Italy, and was quite good, with very flaky, melt-in-your-mouth croissants. We had dinner in the restaurant one night and found the food and the service to be very good.

The location of the hotel was perfect. You could take a quick walk around the port, or take the beautiful cobblestone path along the shore to get to the Main Street of the Old Town. It's about a 10-minute walk, depending on your speed. 

Highly recommend the Hotel de la Darse!

Lovely hotel in a quiet location

The Hotel is just perfect. We had a seaside balcony room (34) and it was just lovely. Stunning views. The Hotel has a perfect location, directly opposite the Darse Harbour and  just a 10 minute stroll along an old stone cobbled path to the main promenade and Old town. The staff are exceptional! Breakfast was fantastic. Lots of choice and very fresh. Villefranche sur mer was a highlight for us. We enjoyed 7 nights at the Hotel and cannot recommend highly enough. 

5 star experience

Another amazing stay, very clean and staff are always polite and willing to help. This is are 3rd visit and it did not let us down. The on-site resturtant is so worth a try. Yes the rooms are small but who visits this place to spend time in the room. If you enjoy lovely walks to and from the beach this is the place for you …..thanks again see you next year

Stayed 2 nights at the end of July to join up with friends in the area. Great little 2 star hotel, very clean, wonderful views if you pay for the sea front rooms, we were late to book so had a view overlooking the chickens in the garden at the back of the hotel which was also quite sweet. 
Staff extremely helpful and went out of their way to help. 
Breakfast nice enough though after a couple of days I think I’d venture out as there are restaurants that do breakfasts nearby too. 
An elevator would have been perfect but this is 2 star and a very reasonable price so we managed the stairs fine but thought it might be helpful to point this out. 
What makes the real difference is the restaurant that has recently opened serving the best food, highly recommend the goats cheese salad and the courgette flowers. Great location and the hotel provided all we needed.

Great little find.

A lovely small hotel benefiting from a great location and lovely staff. Excellent return for money: rooms are very clean, air-conditioned, some have sea view , others garden view. The restaurant has a small restaurant which offers a natural, fresh "a la Carte menu". Prices are very correct, location charming.

A small jewel in Villefranche sur Mer

We arrived, settled in and were ready to stay there for even longer than we'd booked but life interrupts and you have to go home.

The hotel may not be for everyone, but it was just perfect for us, really lovely, situated away from the centre of town (a short stroll if you're asking), so delightfully quiet, with the harbour in front for gazing at.. and the most magnificent view of the bay. Room, bed, bathroom etc. were all just fine, staff were kind and helpful. 

If someone could move a boulangerie to the bottom of the hill, it would be perfect.

A balm for the soul

We used to stay at the Welcome but about twenty years ago, after they doubled their prices for no obvious reason, switched to the Darse. Even though it was then extremely shabby, the location beside the old harbour and with a wonderful view of the bay and Cap Ferrat more than made up for it. Since then the hotel has been completely refurbished inside and out, making it little different to the Welcome. Rooms are spacious, aircon is good and breakfast on the terrace a great pleasure on a sunny morning. I have told the owner a number of times that she could charge more but she says she is content to leave it as it is. The view is best from the top floor but there is no lift. This time we stayed in Room 24 which is absolutely immaculate. I doubt if there is a better value hotel on the entire Cote D’Azur. We had thought of staying in a sea view room at Chateau Eza, as we did some years ago, but baulked at the extra cost of 1,500 euros for two nights.

Remarkable value.

A great location, great value.  If you’re looking for a 5 star experience, keep looking.  But if you’re looking for a clean, well located, friendly boutique hotel, this could be it.  Nothing fancy, but how much time will you spend in the room in this spectacular town?

10 minute walk around the harbor to many restaurants, shops.  Diving center located on site.

No elevator, nice breakfast, polite and helpful staff.

I hope to return.

I want to live here.

Advantages

- Large room with large double bed. Although I booked a room with a garden view, it was truly an amazing view and enchanting colors to admire every morning.
- 2 large beaches nearby, one of which is sandy, so you can choose which one is preferable for you.
- A large number of cafes and restaurants nearby, where you can have breakfast and/or dinner or have breakfast at the hotel.
- The railway station is 10 min. walk, on which you can reach, for example, Monaco or Nice.
- Quite neighborhood.

Disadvantages:
- There is no elevator inside, so you have to carry your luggage by yourself.

Lovely stay with beautiful garden view

We stayed here 3 years ago and wanted to return to this charming hotel in beautiful VFSM. This time we stayed in Room 24 on the second floor overlooking the bay. A very nicely furnished room in the French style, with a great bathroom and shower.
The hotel has now added a small fridge to the rooms which means you can keep some wine for an evening drink on your balcony, and some milk for that early morning cuppa. They also now supply a kettle in the room with tea/coffee. Both these additions are very welcome and make all the difference - thank you!
The hotel is very clean and bright, and serves what looked like a very good breakfast for 11 euros, although we chose to eat fruit in the room before heading out.
The staff are very polite and helpful, and kindly gave us some fresh milk for the room and let us borrow some wine glasses and a corkscrew! You can also buy a beer or glass of wine there, although they do not have a bar as such.
We were pleased to see that La Trinquette next door was still going, and had some lovely dinners there, also at La Corderie (turn right out of the hotel). Both these save walking into town to eat after a long day out, even though it's a lovely walk around the citadel on the cobbled path. 
All in all, a great stay. If there is one thing that could be added to improve it, it would be a non-slip mat in the shower - just need to be extra careful not to slip!
This is a comfortable, well-run hotel in a great location, and I would thoroughly recommend it.
