Basil Auberge de La Croix du Pape

Contact us for availability as rooms are listed separately on other sites. The auberge is a former olive mill named after a cross commemorating Pope Pius VII staying here in 1814. It has fantastic views of Eze village below and the Mediterranean. Situated 500 metres above sea level on the Route de la Grande Corniche - the road used as a location for films like To Catch a Thief and Ab Fab. It’s close to Nice and Monaco and towns between. It’s been a Tour de France route for years ... But if you don’t have a bike and the legs to power them, never mind! It’s ideal if you have a car ... but we will give you public transport advice. We bought the auberge in 2004 and have steadily developed it. It’s an eclectic place with five rooms with private en-suites accessed separately, like motel rooms, from the lower terrace. The former restaurant is upstairs is being converted to provide more accommodation. There is plenty of shared terrace space to enjoy and it’s cooler in Eze than by the sea.
