Luxury hotels on the Cote d'Azur

Simply rolling these two words off your tongue conjures up images of sensual sojourns. The shimmering Cote d'Azur, often referred to as the French Riviera, is a riveting riot of haute 'Mediterranea' with a seriously pampered climate. Technically, it stretches from the wild and untamed Rhone delta, where the long flat sand beaches are often deserted, to the sophisticated glitz and glamour of France's most notorious beach resorts and coastal towns such as Saint Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Antibes, as well as another country, Monaco with its prized casino capital - Monte Carlo. Most days azure waters are kissed by carefree yacht swank beneath priceless indigo skies, while rivalling sports cars meander the lush hillsides topped with quaint medieval villages. For many the 'azure coast' provides all the possible coastal glamour you could ever wish for while for others the breathtaking and dramatic vistas, from picturesque villages, hold the key.
