Design, cuisine and sea views (the full sweep of the Med) are all spectacular at this 1930s villa with a twinset of Michelin stars. This is the culinary kingdom of daring Argentinian chef Mauro Colagreco, who flavours dishes not with heavy sauces but with herbs and flowers from Le Mirazur’s dazzling herb and flower garden, citrus orchard and vegetable patch.
Find it 3km northeast of Menton off the coastal D6007 to Italy. Cooking classes too.
