I love to travel to nice places - and Eze certainly qualifies - but for a hotel I look for simply a nice place to stay: clean, quiet, pleasant staff and so on.

Eza Vista exceeded this - the staff was extremely pleasant, the view from the balcony was spectacular; the room was spacious and the price was very reasonable.

My husband and I stayed in a 1-bedroom unit for 5 nights in May. The views are really fantastic and the location in Eze is perfect - you can walk anywhere very easily - of course the old village is up a lot of steps but well worth it. Unlike other reviews our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels most days and new sheets once which was fine with us. My only complaint is the furnishing and fitting are extremely cheap and even after one year are already looking a bit tired / beaten up. The staff were OK - not fantastic but we really did not need anything. There is WiFi (for a price - 8 euros for 2 hours) but it is only available in the reception area and in the breakfast room - really in a new place this should be available in every room. Parking is an additional 10 euros per day - which is pretty fair given that all hotels in France seem to charge for parking - some as much as 25 euros per day. They have recently added a guest laundry which can be convenient - it's also pay per use (5 euros per load for washing).

A few tips - there is a good bakery / patisserie just up the road (1 minute walk) - just watch out for opening days/hours. There is also a Petit Casino grocery store right there as well - you can buy pretty much everything there.

The Eze Vista hotel has magnificent views, but guests should know what they are getting. The hotel does not clean rooms daily during your stay; they do not give you clean towels or clean linens, except for an extra charge. The studio rooms have pull-out couches rather than actual beds. As other reviewers have noted, skip the breakfast -- it is not at all worth it. The employees in charge of breakfast could hardly be bothered to help us run the coffee machine (and we were there in the middle of the breakfast time, not early or late!). The hotel location was ideal and the views were spectacular, but it is not a 4-Star hotel, as far as service is concerned.

Although we found the hotel directions a bit confusing, once we found the hotel it was love at first sight. We had a large two bed/two bath suite with a balcony looking over the sea. Just perfect when you've been living out of hotel rooms for a couple of weeks. The beds and sofas were comfortable and it was nice to be able to safely open our balcony doors to the night air. We took the bus from Eze to Nice (1.30 euros) after a nightmare drive to Monaco. The bus picked us up just outside the hotel and dropped us off in downtown Nice within walking distance of the water. There are wonderful places to eat in Eze. We had two dinners at Colette's Cafe. Excellent food and ambiance. Our server, Marinella, made us feel so welcome. And we totally blew the budget at Chateau Eza, near the top of the medieval village. Don't wear high heels, ladies; it is straight up slippery cobblestones, no cars allowed. When we finally got to the restaurant, the climb was worth it. We had a panoramic view of Nice and Cap Ferrat and the Mediterranean Sea. As it got dark, the lights came on all along the coast, shimmering like a diamond necklace. And for some reason, we were also treated to a wonderful fireworks display from the Cap. The food was fabulous and the service out of this world. Recommend Eze and the Residence Villa highly.
