I second this suggestion - Château St Martin is superb. Take one of their private hillside villas - we think they are stunning! Food is much better than Cap Ferrat too. Also, the pool being heated at Cap Ferrat is a bit of ruse - it is - but to French standard (aka cold). I swam in it once in March but it was freezing. Even in August it is colder than we keep our pool in winter!
