Perched high above the Mediterranean with jaw-dropping views at every turn, Eze is a medieval marvel that blends old-world charm with Riviera glamour. Think winding cobbled lanes, bougainvillea-draped balconies and sun-soaked terraces where the pace is blissfully slow. Whether you fancy staying in a lavish clifftop château or unwinding at a tucked-away seaside hideaway, our collection of the best places to stay in Eze offers a little something for everyone — all with seriously swoon-worthy settings.

Days in Eze start with a meander through its maze-like old town, where art galleries, perfumeries and independent boutiques tempt from centuries-old doorways. Don’t miss the exotic cactus garden at the summit or the panoramic views from the ruined fort above. Keen hikers can tackle the Chemin de Nietzsche down to the sea, while those after rest can laze on a nearby beach or book a sunset cruise along the coast. History buffs will adore the 18th-century church and tales of the village’s medieval past, while foodies are spoilt for choice: from family-run bistros to Michelin-starred extravagance, the dining scene is a highlight. And after dark? Sip cocktails under the stars or retreat to your chic hillside suite for unbeatable night-time views.
