Dining on the terrace at La Chèvre d’Or may well present you with a poser. Nothing to do with the gourmet menu, or the extensive wine list. Your main problem may be deciding – in the stunning vista spread generously beneath you – exactly where the clear blue sky meets the reflective sea.

If considering such trifles is a sign of true relaxation, welcome to La Chèvre d’Or. Here attention to detail is considered all-important, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by luxuriant gardens and a curvaceous swimming pool that makes the most of the hotel’s cliff top setting with its horizon-wide views. Welcome indeed, to a place where the fine dining is as irresistible as the vistas and the traditional aspects of classic elegance have not been forgotten.
