Cap Estel is by far the most beautiful and unique place we've stayed. We started our two week trip to France here. And everything from accommodations, to food, and the property and the servers were excellent. I agree with another reviewer it is James Bondesque when you first enter the property through big, beautiful wrought iron gates. It is not an easy place to find if you don't know where you're going and we didn't. But an hour later (from our venture out) we found it thanks to the local office of tourism nearby.

We were fortunate to have a room right on the Mediterranean and were lulled to sleep by the crashing waves. When it was it was for us to leave, we did not want to go even though we knew we had other exciting places to visit. I suggest a long stay here if you can find an opening. The property only accommodates a small number at a time, so you feel like you're staying at someone's home but with plenty of privacy, just loved that. We can't wait to plan our return trip there before a year expires. On the only negative note, yes like someone else mentioned internet access is sporadic, but they did their very best to assist my husband with this issue. Personally, I think you should just relax and try to do without the internet while you're here to get the full effect as I did:)

Cap estel for our honeymoon was stunning. Charming service, even though we were probably the poorest people who had ever been there, 900 per night cheapest room. Worth every penny, our room carved into the cliff over the private beech was amazing.

Probably the best hotel on the Cote D'Azur. I saw several rooms or suites and they all were magnificent. The entire property is maintained with perfection. Food is exquisite. Service is relaxed but obliging. Entering Hotel Cap Estel is a step into a world of luxury.

I stayed here for a month last year while working on a film and the views are second to none. I felt every day as though my eyes would just give out because they couldn't take in all of the beauty.
I was there with co-workers so I saw a lot of the suites - two huge suites in the main house are amazing, like homes. I stayed in a two bedroom room in the yellow house, which is a little hike up from the main house, but it's good for you to walk! We had a few language issues, the internet is a real problem, and the downside is that you're in the middle of nowhere, so you need a car or driver to go anywhere, but if you're here on vacation, this shouldn't be a problem. It just got old because we were there for so long. The food in the restaurant here is very expensive and not that impressive for the prices. No matter what, though, this place is very close to perfection, and breakfast on the terrance looking out at the sea and over to Monaco...ah, bliss.
