THE HISTORY At the end of 19th century - a Russian prince constructed his Datcha at Eze on a 4 acre private peninsula located between Nice and Monaco. Around 1880 the Welsh writer James Walsh, banished by the British for his works considered too libertine, took procession of the premises. At the beginning the 20th century, the property was owned by a Greek ship owner, the mother of Lapostolle and in 1936 a wealthy Lithuanian born American put down the foundations of the existing building paying his architect and his staff in gold coins. In the 1930 s with the threat of war looming, he returned to the United States leaving behind him uncompleted building. When occupying the French Riviera, the German army took over the property and tore up the rosewood floors for heating fuel... In the early 50s Robert Squarchafichi opened a 6 bed-roomed hotel which was to be called the Cap Estel and after a few years he expanded the number into a 40 roomed luxurious establishment which started welcoming tourists from all over World.
