The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region

Nice is a Cosmopolitan resort with fashionable shops and restaurants, a good base to explore the region. Advice on car hire and local beaches,shopping,buses etc. given to each tenant at ''meet and greet''. with our agent.

Wander at random through the narrow streets of the old town and then stroll along the famous "Promenade" before entering into the heart of the city with its rich architectural and cultural heritage and its numerous parks and gardens.

Places to visit:
Nice old town (vieux nice): The markets in the old part of the town are a must see. They sell flowers, fruit and antiques. The same area in the evening is rich in people wining dining and watching the world go by! There are many bars and restaurants in the area along with live music to make a very pleasant night out.

You can climb to the Parc du Chateau (or take the small tourist ''petit train'') where the views of nice and the promenade are amazing. Up here is a park with a cafe serving refreshments.

The beach front is packed with restaurants bars and cafes. Sun beds are for hire and watersports are available. The promenade along the beach is alive with rollerskater, joggers and people walking and a great place to people watch!

It is also worth paying a visit to neighbouring towns Monaco ( which host its famous Grand Prix in May) and Cannes (which hosts the film festival in May) are only 20-30 mins away by car or alternatively can be accessed by bus which is €1 per trip or via train. Other places worth visiting are Antibes, Juan les Pins, St Tropez and Grasse (which is famous for its perfume factory) and Eze.

The apartment is very comfortable and clean, it is also very well located and made our holiday more of a pleasant experience.Local bars and restaurants were excellent - we especially liked Boccacio. It was a treat to be there.

First impression - the apartment is compact but beautiful - done up beautifully, and just to our taste - wish it were mine!
People, weather food and wine- all fab! Dinner on the balcony by candlelight a sheer delight.

Very pleased to renew our friendship with Nice after 33 years absence. The Old Town is stunning and we spent many hours wandering those narrow streets, Also loved a day trip to Menton, Monte Carco and Villefranche.
We welcomed the peace of the apartment each evening after the buzz of the city - loved the birds while we sat on the terrace.

We had a very nice stay in this apartment - enjoyed every day of it. good location. Perfect variety of fruit stands, bakeries and French wine. At Monoprix store, you can buy cheap oysters, prawns and French champagne. No need to go to fancy restaurants.

Coming from Vancouver,
we were so looking forward to the sunny Cote d'Azur. We were not disappointed......Eze, St. Paul de Vence(both gorgeous & idyllic villages) Antibes, Menton & Monaco.
The apartment was lovely, very centrally located and comfortable. It was so nice to come home to, after a long and busy day of sightseeing. We hate to leave!

Had a lovely long weekend. Would come back and use this apartment - great base. Very handy for beach and town centre.
Got the hang of the buses - great. Tramline to Gare is also convenient. Also took train to Villefrance- excellent beach, less stones than everywhere else around here.
Was good to find the continental plug adaptor!
