Chateau de la Chevre d-Or

My favorite place in the world.
 
Chateau de la Chevre d'Or
( The House of the Golden Goat)

Located in a renovated medieval fortress on a hilltop in the village of EZE
on the French Riviera overlooking Nice and Cap Ferrat. I have had the fortune to have stayed in this Cinderella like setting twice, the last in 1999. It is a 5 star resort that is world renowned for accommodation, ambience, and gastronomy.

The small village of EZE is at the base of the hill.  Car park is in the village and then golf carts whisk you to the Chateau which includes the hotel, restaurants and shops. All were constructed gutting the ancient interiors and bringing refurbishment up by helicopter



The hotel entrance and lobby.  All the walkways within the village are these paved stoneways with surrounding rock walls that wind and open onto small courtyards and lush gardens
