Bottom Line
The historic Chateau de la Chevre d’Or is a five-pearl property located within a medieval village overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Lovely gardens and terraces provide beautiful scenery, while a pool, four restaurants (one of which has two Michelin stars), and treatments like massages make for a romantic atmosphere. The restaurants can be quite pricey, however, and the many stairs on the property are too much for some. The 39 guest rooms are large and elegant, with flat-screen TVs, espresso-makers, free Wi-Fi, and minibars. Some suites have terraces with lovely views of the sea, while others have hot tubs, private pools, and separate living rooms. The nearby Cap Estel Hotel is a similarly chic hotel with a much more secluded atmosphere, direct access to a private beach, and a free breakfast.

Scene
Historic luxury property with lush gardens and terraces and a romantic atmosphere
The Chateau de la Chevre d’Or has a history that’s almost as interesting as its beautiful setting and atmosphere. It was opened in 1953 as a restaurant by Robert Wolf, who then turned it into a hotel on the advice of Walt Disney. Since then, it has changed owners and grown into a luxury boutique hotel of 39 rooms.
The property is lovely, made up of multiple levels of lush green gardens, narrow walkways, and stone buildings. Guests should keep in mind that there are many stairs to navigate here, which can be an issue for some. Classic Greek and Roman statues, as well as playful ones of children and animals, are displayed around the property, though they are far less stunning than the views of the Mediterranean Sea. The interior decor varies; the lobby maintains a medieval atmosphere with a large wooden desk, antique chairs, stone walls, and a chandelier, while the bar salon has a playful medieval style with coats of arms banners, printed maroon carpet, and purple velour chairs and barstools. The hotel’s two-star Michelin restaurant and a la carte dinner restaurant are far more chic, with contemporary chairs, white tablecloths or sleek tables, and lovely views of the sea. Take note that tourists that aren't staying at the property come to visit the hotel's gardens and restaurants, making for a less-than private atmosphere at times. Regardless, it's still romantic and draws many couples.
Location
Quiet location in a medieval village between Nice and Monte Carlo
This hotel is tucked away in the medieval village of Eze, which was built upon the ruins of a 12th-century castle. Perched high upon a rock, it provides stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Surrounding the hotel is a labyrinth of meandering streets filled with homes and a few shops and restaurants. A bus station takes five minutes to reach on foot. There aren't many attractions within walking distance, though the start of the Nietzsche Trail is only a three-minute walk away. Its location is best suited to those looking for a private, relaxing getaway. For day trips, Monte Carlo is about a 20-minute drive away, while Nice takes 25 minutes to reach by car. Nice Cote d’Azur Airport is a 35-minute drive.
Rooms
Chic, elegant rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and Nespresso machines; some have terraces
All guest rooms at Chateau de la Chevre d’Or employ a modern, chic style that creates an elegant atmosphere. Expect to see light colors of cream, white, and beige with brighter accents in soft tones or prints on carpets, beds, or curtains. Soft contemporary furnishings fit well with the exposed stonework in some of the rooms, while gilded mirrors and frames offer a polished touch in some units. The picturesque views -- garden, village, or sea -- add to the regal atmosphere. Higher-end suites have terraces or balconies, and a few Deluxe Rooms and Junior Suites do, too.
Rooms are spacious and have flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, minibars, Nespresso machines, kettles, and free Wi-Fi. A few suites have items like pianos, fireplaces, and separate living rooms. The Panoramic Suite has a particularly romantic atmosphere with an indoor two-seater hot tub, as well as a private pool and hot tub on a private terrace. The marble-tiled bathrooms are luxurious and huge, with deep jetted bathtubs and/or separate walk-in showers. Some bathrooms are even surrounded by stone walls and ceilings for a cave-like vibe. Robes, high-end Fragonard toiletries, and heated towel racks are provided.
