I was going to suggest La Réserve Ramatuelle, as it is very close to St Tropez, so full of things to do, but as with many Riviera properties, it does not open until mid April.

March is quite chilly for this part of the world, so even if the pools are heated, I would not swim. That is why many hotels do pool repairs at this time of year.

I am not a fan of Royal Riviera - a good four-star in my view. Château Eza is up in the hills and is quite claustrophobic. Once you have explored Eze itself, you will not find a huge amount to do, apart from nearby art galleries etc.

If you are considering a hotel that is not on the coast, like Château Eza, then Chèvre d'Or is another option - also in Eze and somewhat nicer, despite the hard beds, which are endemic in this part of the world, unless you stay at Four Seasons or La Réserve.
