If your idea of a great holiday is accommodation with dark, dingy rooms, being kept awake by the music & drunken antics of your fellow holidaymakers, mediocre, over-priced food, checking the skies every morning & praying that those relentless, angry-looking clouds would just bugger off, then this is NOT the place for you. If, however, you’re enticed by a sky of infinite blue, by the bounty of delectable fresh food that makes up the Provencal larder, by a wonderfully light, spacious, pristine, understated apartment with a picture-book view over cypress trees to the shimmering Mediterranean beyond, then you’ve just struck lucky. From a sun-drenched breakfast on the terrace, with yielding, juice-packed, perfumed peaches, warm baguettes, and the best croissants you will ever eat, to dinner at La Pinede, a romantic jewel of a restaurant on the beach, just a few minutes’ walk away, where you can sip chilled rose and eat fish caught mere hours earlier as you sit enraptured by an impossibly cinematic sunset, this place truly delivers.
Cap d’Ail and its neighbouring villages ooze charm, & it’s not hard to see why they've been such a magnet for the rich & famous, eager for a little r’n’r: everyone from Churchill & Nietzsche to Bono & Keith Richards. [A delightful drive along the coast took us, one afternoon, to Bono’s retreat in Eze-sur-mer, and he is just an amazing host! I imagine...]
This is the kind of place that allows you to do as much or as little as you want, where tranquillity comes as standard, and where you’re troubled by nothing louder than the restful cooing of collared doves. If you choose to pass up the opportunity to stay here, you’ve only got yourselves to blame...
