Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

Two stretches around the cape: a short one past Paloma beach to a quiet cove, and a longer one below the lighthouse with views to the Estérel.

Public, set in greenery and facing east to the cliffs of Èze, with a beach restaurant on its private stretch and the Saint-Hospice trail starting here.

Nine themed gardens wrap around the villa, among them a Japanese garden, a stone garden, an exotic garden and a rose garden.

The hotel's own sandy beach with water sports, and 18 of the rooms in the Villa l'Orangerie, some opening onto the gardens.

Modeled on an ancient Greek house, on a rocky point facing the sea, with frescoes, mosaics and furniture copied from old vases and ruins.

Art collections including Volti's sculptures, and gardens hanging over the sea, all inside a 16th-century citadel.
