About the home

Situated close to the Palace de Justice, seconds away from the beach and the famous “Cours Saleya” our holiday apartment is simply surrounded by pavement cafes, fabulous shops and historic buildings.

Part of a former 18th century palace, our Nice holiday apartment has been fully modernised, yet still retains its fabulous character. This modern, 1 bedroomed apartment overlooks the small winding streets and beautiful terracotta roofs for which vieux Nice is very famous.

Welcome to the relaxing pace of French holidays, with modern living comforts in this most vibrant of French cities. With beaches, restaurants, museums and galleries, Nice makes for a perfect city break or holiday and Rue de la Prefecture, the ideal base to discover the whole of the Riviera.

The typically French apartment in a former palace sleeps four and is ten minutes by taxi from Nice airport, or 20 minutes by airport bus. The beach, the flower market and over 40 charming restaurants are within three minutes walk. Jump on a local bus or train for visits to Antibes, Cannes, Monte Carlo and places in between.

“We'd be delighted to stay again!!!” We were astonished to read the negative review above since we had a very different experience when staying in this same apartment in October 2011. We found the apartment to be very clean,... more

“Great location and a very comfortable apartment” The apartment was situated in the old town. Nearby was the daily fruit and vegetable market, numerous restaurants and shops. The bus station was a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment was lovely, it had all the amenities that one expects and was very clean. I would strongly recommend this apartment and I hope I will return there someday. As with all apartments in the Old Town in Nice I would expect that in the summer months the area would be a lot more lively than in November.

“Excellent location in the heart of the old town of Nice” This is a fantastic holiday apartment in an excellent location. The apartment is a couple of minutes walk from the Cours Saleya, 5 minutes walk from the beach and right in the middle of the old town. There are loads of lovely restaurants and bars right on the doorstep which we were able to sample! As the apartment has cooking facitlities we were also able eat in and visited the local market to buy some fresh fish and vegatables. The building itself is very historic and traditionally French, yet the apartment is modern and clean. For me this was perfect as it satsfied the romance of being in an old French palace but at the same time we had modern facilities. It was also very easy to get to and from the airport.

“not properly maintained” We arrived to find dirty shelves, dishes and utensils, door handles which fell off to the touch, and had to search for instructions on how to operate equipment such as internet access, television. Some furnishings such as bedside lamp and living area rugs, pictured in description, were not present. I believe some of problem was due to owner being in UK and manager of apartment being "on holiday" so there was no one on scene to appeal to. The neighbors were very noisy and kept us awake with their raucous behavior. Street noise lasted until about 3 AM, and prevented sleep even with windows closed. We started noticing insect bites, which were severe. One bug, swollen with blood, was killed. Although location of apartment was excellent, we would never stay there again, and cannot, in conscience recommend it. Prior to our arrival in Nice we had stayed in vacation rentals in Lyon and Le Luberon area of Provence, both of which were fine....not this one, sad to say. Response: We were extremely upset to hear about the claims made by this guest, so we decided to fly out to investigate for ourselves. We frequently use the apartment ourselves and regard it as our home from home. We can honestly say this is the first and only negative feedback we have had in 5 years of renting and would like to respond as follows: We made the guest fully aware that our agent was on holiday in case he was not happy with this. The changeover cleaning was done prior to arrival but it would seem not thoroughly, for which we apologise. We have infact just appointed new, highly recommended managing agents who start in January 2012. We found one faulty door handle. We sometimes have small issues at the end of the rental season, hence our very low £50 per day rate, which this guest paid. One bedside lamp had been moved as it needed a new bulb (now replaced) and the small rug in the lounge is no longer there since the photo's were taken. We hope the rug absence will not spoil anyone's stay. We assume that most independent travellers who use and love our apartment are quite happy to find a healthy supply of books, DVD's and instruction manuals all in one place in our sideboard in the lounge. We have not felt the need to introduce a rigorous filing system after the review. We have never received a complaint about the neighbours. The building is mainly occupied by local Nicoise business owners who have lived there for many years. We can only apologise for this random occurence. With regard to street noise, the old town is a cosmopolitan and vibrant area, so not always completely quiet. We are always upfront about this with our guests and in truth, most people love the area so much, they are happy about it. We have double glazing in the bedroom and lounge. We are really sorry this guest had a bad experience but we have guests who return year on year and on the very week we received this review, we also received two bottles of wine - a thank you gift from two Australian ladies who had a very different experience. We have asked them to leave a review too, let's hope they do!

Guestbook for Rue de la Prefecture

Dear Chris & Janet - I just wanted to drop you an e-mail saying what a beautiful time we had in Nice and at your flat. The location is simply perfect and the flat is lovely. We almost didnt go out of the Vieux Ville. We will definitely come back - M Musacchio, London UK

We stayed at the apartment in April and it made the ideal base to explore the old town of Nice. Everything was just exactly as advertised on the website, if not better. It was a lovely surprise to find out that there was a lift as I was not expecting one in such an old building. When we are next in Nice, I just hope the apartment will be available. J. Christie

I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed staying at the apartment. We thought it was really well equipped and was done out very nicely. The position is perfect too, right in the centre of the old town. We loved the old town with the markets and bars and rstaurantes, the place had a great buzz to it and I would recommend it to anyone. Many thanks. H. Lyons, UK
