The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
Cote d'Azure, the French Riviera is one of the most popular holiday destinations in France, with its perfect beaches, high style of life and a lot of interesting places to visit, this is an ideal holiday region.
This was one of the first resort areas in the world and for a good reason, the Mediterranean coast stretches for miles and is covered with golden-sand and pebbled beaches. Being a health resort area in the 19th century, it was famous with the aristocrats like Queen Victoria, King Edward VII and in the 20th century with artists Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse or Edith Wharton.
The region has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, sunny summers and dry mild winters perfect for all year round holiday.
Places worth of visiting are: Nice, Hyres, famous Saint-Tropez, Saint-Maxine, Cannes and its film festival, Antibes, Monaco, Monte-Carlo and many others. Saint-Tropez best being accessed by boat from Nice Port to avoid the traffic if considering driving, a train can be taken, but can take many hours.
The Nice / Carre d'Or area
Nice is a major tourist centre in the southern France, a historical capital of the county and an important port known as well as Lympia port.
Nice is most of all a great place with a lot of entertainment and things to do like shopping, photography, dining in a great restaurants, taking part in festivals, visiting art galleries, admiring the architecture and culture of the city; for those seeking more nature-based holiday we recommend canoeing, visiting wild life sanctuaries and parks, cycling, swimming and of course sun bathing.

Having stayed in Nice several times, we knew that we wanted a good apartment in the centre. The location was excellent, once we had sorted out the best possibilities for car parking. Nice is best... more |

We had a great stay in this apartment during our visit to France. The number one benefit is by far the location. You are a short walk to everything - the pedestrian area with shops & restaurants is only a few meters away, the beach/promenade also within 100 meters or so. You can walk to the train station in about 10 minutes to get to Cannes, Monte Carlo and even Italy. The big farmers market and central park are 5-10 minute walks as well. The apartment is well appointed with a kitchen area and the washing machine is a great bonus. Perfect for 2 people, we had 4 (2 kids ages 8 & 10) so we were a little cramped because we had to use the pullout bed but we had no issues. Mainly we would eat breakfast at the apartment and sometimes dinner and would come to get cleaned up after the beach or before going out at night etc... One of the best experiences was going to a nearby bakery and getting a baguette each morning. The apartment was spotless when we got there, clean fridge and bathroom and we were shown around and questions answered by the agent who met us on site on our arrival. The vendors were easy to contact when necessary and we had no problems. Overall it is a nice apartment, the washing machine is great the longer you stay and the location cannot be beat. |

This apartment has all that you need for a great holiday.It's comfortable,clean and very well maintained.It's in a great location,situated close to the Promenade and beach and only a short distance from the Old Town which makes it perfect for anyone without a car.
We found everything to be just as described regarding facilities and location and Richard,the owner,provided a great deal of useful information for our stay and was very helpful.There is a super bakery just across the street and supermarkets (Intermarche & Casino) are only a short walk away.It's worth walking the 10mins to the Old Town for something to eat as the choice of restaurants is huge.We particularly like La Voglia - very popular & good value!
June 2009, Roberta and Marco:
We are a couple with a little child who - at the time of our staying - was only 4 months old.We had a very pleasant holiday,we found everything perfect there. The apartment is just in the centre of the town, in few minutes you can reach on foot all the shops, restaurants and cafés of the city. Also the wonderful Promenade des Anglais is just close to the flat. We found very helpful, with a child, to know that the pharmacy was just downstairs!! The kitchen is very well furnished, with all the accessories and instructions sheets. Bathroom is big and wonderful! Everything was so clean! We'd mainly recommend this apartment to couples or to families with little children. Richard and Pamela are fantastic owners, very helpful and kind, precise and honest. Hope to come back soon!!!!
May 2009, Alan and Sharon:
My wife and I spent a relaxing and enjoyable week in this lovely apartment. It is central to everything and you feel your are living there rather than being just a tourist. We look forward to returning soon.
