The owners of the hotel also run it, and they are very friendly and patient if you are learning French. It is excellent for a stay before and/or after a session at the Institut de Français. Also, there is a cafe/bar on the first floor that locals and students frequent and is a great place to meet up. The continental... More

I stayed in room 7 and it looked newly refurbished with clean paint smell, clean wooden floors, crisp new curtains and bed linens and a beautiful new bathroom. There isn't an elevator so be prepared to lug your suitcase up two small flights (I was alone and my luggage heavy, so that was tough). La Regence is in a perfectly... More

La Regence was terrific. Simple, but clean accommodation, centrally located right across from the Central Park and tourism office. Great value! Madame Betty and her staff were very nice and helpful. The downstairs bar reminds me scenes from Amelie as its clearly a local gathering place with a comfortable atmosphere. Really enjoyed our stay in Villefranche-sur-Mer.

My husband and i recently stayed at La Regence for 4 days. This is an awesome location. The owners are wonderful and very helpful. Be prepared to use your best french... Thierry speaks pretty good english, but Betty does not and you will need to communicate with her if Thierry is gone. That being said both of them were very... More

We stayed at Chez Betty in late July 2012 and had a fantastic time. There is a small bar on the ground level that is great for a quick breakfast or a beer later in the evening. Rooms were charming and clean. Everyone is friendly. Location is perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

La Regence was a wonderful place to stay! Definately would stay again in this hotel! The hotel staff was super friendly and welcoming. and breakfast good. It was very easy to get around from Villefrance-sur-Mer. It was just a couple of minutes drive from the center of Nice, and other bigger places like Cannes, Monaco, etc are very close. I... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hosts are all friendly and the bar downstairs has a nice authentic feel about it. The position of the hotel is great, close to the bus stop, 5 mins walk to the train and beach. The rooms could do with an upgrade but for what you pay you can't complain. We had a... More

My wife and I, with our two boys age 6 and 9, really enjoyed staying at the La Regence. We had to take 2 double rooms to fit us but the rooms were nice. The pro's While over the top of a sports bar and facing a main street, the noise wasn't bad and didn't bother us. It is directly... More

I have visited this area numerous times and have stayed at La Regence every time. It offers an ideal hotel/bar located in Villefranche, a beautiful seaside town sandwiched between Nice and Monaco. With Villefranche you get a location that is on the beach but away from the often stressful city environment of Nice. If you have personal transport like a... More
