Èze stretches between the Mediterranean shore and a hilltop stone village, on a stretch of coast where rocky headlands alternate with small beaches. Hotel Cap Estel is on the headland, in surroundings that look out to sea. The area suits travellers who want to enjoy the coast while visiting the villages and towns of the Riviera. The old village of Èze, with its narrow lanes and vaulted passageways, offers a change from days by the water.

Château d'Èze and its exotic garden overlook the Mediterranean from the village; the paths and terraces reveal wide views of the coast. Mala Beach, near Cap-d'Ail, is a cove popular for swimming and its rocky scenery. Villa Kérylos in Beaulieu-sur-Mer recreates a residence inspired by ancient Greek architecture. Èze-sur-Mer has a railway station, and Monaco is 7 km away; Nice, with its old town, museums and seafront promenade, is 15 km away.

Spring and the shoulder season are well suited to walks along the coastal paths and visits to the villages, with temperatures often more moderate than in midsummer. In summer, the beaches draw more visitors; setting off early lets you enjoy the sea before the busiest hours. You can spend a day in the village of Èze and its garden, then head down to the coast for a swim. For a city outing, Monaco and Nice offer museums, promenades and architecture, while the nearby coves are a reason to bring a mask and shoes suitable for the rocks.
