High above the sea in the mountains between Nice and Monaco in the picturesque village of Eze is the impeccable hotel with a two-starred Michelin restaurant Château de la Chêvre d’Or. It is a 14th century castle that has been transformed into a 4-star hotel. A terrace provides magnificent views of the sea, a lovely swimming pool as well as an intricate, African-styled garden. The present owner bought it in the eighties and added more rooms, which meant they had to buy houses in the ancient village and convert them. I have always made it a point when in the south of France to squeeze in a visit to the village of Eze if only to have lunch.
