The Château Eza was built 400 years ago within the ancient city walls of the 9th century village of Eze on its mountain perch overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. In the 20th century Chateau Eza was a residence of Prince William, son of King Gustav the 5th of Sweden.
Later the Chateau belonged to André Rochat, the Swiss owner from 1976 until the end of 1993; he opened his private residence to guests on a paying basis in 1985, after he completely modernized and renovated the premises. "All the construction materials had to be brought up the steep winding streets, 1300 feet above the sea, by donkeys which are still present to greet guests." Today, Château Eza belongs to The Stein Group, owners of other exclusive European hotels.
There are only ten guest rooms, some of which are reached by stone passageways and climbing the stone steps and walkways which lead to the individual doorways of the chambers and suites. Standard rooms come with a Queen bed & mountain views. The most expensive suites come with Queen beds also, but have a private balcony or terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea!! Some have fireplaces and the very best suite has an indoor & outdoor jacuzzi!
All rooms have air-conditioning, bathrobes, beach towels, cable TV, DVD players, hairdryers, daily newspapers, and virtually every other convenience. It is clear that furnishing, linens, and other amenities are top-shelf and combined with the magnificent views, award-winning restaurant, the Chateau Eza is a place where memories are created.
