The French Riviera is famous for azure seas, brilliant sunshine, gleaming yachts, star sightings, sparkling champagne and oozing with glamour. Trust me, it’s all that and more. Have you heard of Èze? This medieval village is perched 1,401 feet above the French Mediterrean sea. Èze is forged of winding stone staircases and perches, twisted wrought iron embelishments, colorful urns of flowers, and stunning views of the Cote d’Azure. It is magical, especially at sunset.

We were fortunate to enjoy our time at both 5 star hotels in the heights of Èze with these stunning views.

“Château de la Chèvre d’Or, Member of Relais & Châteaux, perches on a cliff in the heart of a medieval village between Nice and Monte-Carlo. The breathtaking panorama includes the sparkling Mediterranean, extending from Monte-Carlo to Saint Tropez to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Gourmets are in luck; the hotel offers enticing dining, including the two-Michelin-star La Chèvre d’Or and Stagioni restaurant for dinner; and Les Remparts and Café du Jardin for lunch. Guestrooms are remarkable, offering classic and modern furnishings, as well as opulent marble bathrooms; there are just 43 guestrooms and suites, so privacy is virtually guaranteed.”

“Pretty as a postcard, Château Eza clings to the side of Eze’s ancient rock walls more than 1,300 feet above the Mediterranean Sea. Such a dramatic setting promises a remarkable experience, and this is one hideaway that definitely won’t disappoint. With just 14 guestrooms — most with fireplaces and private balconies, and all with modern amenities — there’s an enchanting, intimate atmosphere. The surrounding cobblestone streets don’t allow for automobile traffic, so quiet prevails. Dining is a regal experience; spend an evening in the elegant dining room.”
