"Talk about a veritable cliff-hanger. Built into the rock, atop the medieval cobblestone maze of Eze Village, this uber-romantic castle hotel-restaurant (the Prince of Sweden’s former digs), is a mini-hamlet of 14 rooms in all shapes and sizes, perched some 400-odd meters above the shimmering Mediterranean. With a private balcony (some with Jacuzzis) and fireplace in every room, plus the new sprawling presidential suite–a contemporary-style medley of marble, wood and stone and a private pool–another draw is the recently awarded Michelin-star restaurant, helmed by chef Justin Schmidtt. Expect delectable seafood-themed tasting menus with signature dishes like roast octopus in a creamy corn and smoked whiskey sauce, topped off by a swoon-worthy view. Price: From about $2,702 per night Address: Château Eza, Rue de la Pise, 06360 Èze, France A version of this article originally appeared on Condé Nast Traveller UK." - Lanie Goodman
