The Villegiature Awards were created in 2003 and gather together a voting Jury composed of 22 international press correspondents and journalists from around the world.

Rewarding the best of the best hotels in Europe, Asia, Africa and Middle-East, the 'Prix Villegiature' jury consists of members of the press from magazines such as Conde Nast traveller, Vogue, Marie-Claire Italia, The Observer & the Guardian and Le Figaro, as well as TV press including TV5 Monde, France 2, Al Arabiya TV and RTP Televisao.

This truly international panel has awarded the Best Charming Hotel in Europe to the beautiful seafront Hotel Belles Rives in Juan-les-Pins, in between Antibes and the neighbouring town of Cannes.

The Belles Rives Hotel was nominated in three different categories:

  • Grand Prix of the Best Charming Hotel in Europe
  • Best Hotel atmosphere in Europe
  • Best Hotel Restaurant in Europe

For 2016 it has been awarded the Grand Prix of the Best Charming Hotel in Europe. This title is a real accolade for this inescapable venue of the French Riviera; indeed, the Belles Rives Hotel won the same distinction in 2012.

Recognised by his peers, sensitive to the authenticity of the Belles Rives Hotel, to its history, to its charm and intimate atmosphere, the hotel fulfills the travel dreams of an international clientele in search of French “savoir-vivre”.
