Chateau Eza - Eze Village

Château Eza is an enchanting hotel and restaurant tucked away in one of the most exciting sites on the Côte d‘Azur, South France. It is a castle of stone on a narrow cobblestone street, too small for modern day automobiles.

Pretty as a postcard, the hotel clings to the side of the ancient rock walls of Eze, a thousand-year-old medieval village 427 metres above the Mediterranean Sea.
Annual closing : 01 Novembre 2009 ~ 23 Décembre 2009
Dear Guests,
We inform you that Hotel & Restaurant Château Eza will be closed
from the 2nd of November 2009 until the 23rd of December 2009.


History

Château Eza was built 400 years ago within the ancient city walls of the 9th century village of Eze.

In modern times the chateau Eza was a resident of the Prince William of Sweden. From 1923 to 1953, as an author, he did much of his writing in this location. His father Gustav V, and his brother, Gustav Adolf, were both kings of Sweden. The King of Sweden now a days Carl Gustav, is Prince William's nephew.

The modern comforts of Château Eza did not come easily or inexpensively. André Rochat, the Swiss owner from 1976 until the end of 1993, did not simply put out an "open for business" sign. Before he opened his private residence to guests in 1985, 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. The result was truly a masterpiece for all to enjoy.

The refurbishing by "Enchanted Escapes" was being done with the intention of preserving and honoring the many centuries of history and hard work preceding us. The next page in the history of Château Eza is now being written...

Today, Château Eza belongs to The Stein Group. It is also the site of an award-winning restaurant where our chef’s culinary delights are rivalled only by the stunning panoramic views.
