By all means go and have lunch and dinner at Château de la Chèvre d'Or but don't stay there - the rooms and suites are appalling - hard beds, synthetic pillows, eye-wateringly bad design. The food is in a different league - wonderful lunches on the outdoor terrace, with incredible views, or gastronomic dinners in the Michelin restaurant. Service in the restaurants is much, much better than in the rest of the hotel.

Better choices in the area? Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, Le Mas Candille in Mougins, La Bastide de Saint Antoine in Grasse.

It could also be worth checking out Château Eza, also in Eze Village, but right at the top of the hill, as this property has just undergone a big refurbishment. Nice restaurant, too, with great views....and the beds are comfy, too.
