Château Eza

Top choice in Èze


If you’re looking for a place to propose, well, there can be few more memorable settings than this wonderful clifftop hotel, perched dramatically above the glittering blue Mediterranean. There are only 12 rooms, so it feels intimate, but the service is impeccable, and the regal decor (gilded mirrors, sumptuous fabrics, antiques) explains the sky-high price tag.

Even if you’re not staying, it’s worth experiencing a sundowner at the stylish bar or – even better – a meal at the hotel’s luxurious restaurant.
