The Capri-town hotel for travelers who want the Piazzetta outside, a real terrace upstairs and Mare by Casa Tua for beach days at Marina Piccola.

L’Apogée is one of the Courchevel hotels I would look at first for a family that needs actual bedroom separation rather than a room that merely sleeps four. Here is which suite I would book, what parents should know and how it compares with Airelles, Cheval Blanc and Aman.

A hilltop Palace above Vence with beautiful gardens, a La Prairie spa and some of the best private family villas on the French Riviera. Come for the views. Book the villa because traveling with children is considerably nicer when everyone has a bedroom.
