Fodor's Expert Review Château de la Chèvre d'Or
Rue du Barri, Èze, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06360, France Fodor's Choice
The "Château of the Golden Goat" is actually an entire stretch of the village, streets and all, bordered by gardens that hang from the mountainside in nearly Babylonian style; in addition to divine accommodations, it delivers some of the most breathtaking Mediterranean views—at a price. The fanciest guest rooms feature peasant-luxe fireplaces, faux 15th-century panel paintings, and chandeliered rock-grotto bathrooms; nearly all rooms, though, have exposed stone and beams, and even the cheapest have views over Èze's charming tile roofs (but you'll kick yourself if you don't pay the extra for the terrace and sea views).
PROS
- insane views
- fabulous heated infinity pool
- four excellent restaurants, including one with 2 Michelin stars
