Home description
Stunning, newly-renovated and fully-equipped studio with balcony and breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, mountains, Chateau Hill and rooftops of Old Nice. Located in a former palace just a few steps from the famous Cours Saleya, beach and Promenade des Anglais, in the heart of Nice's Old Town
The apartment building is located in a side street, just a few metres from Old Nice's Main Square and the Cours Saleya, which is home to the famous daily flower and local produce market. All the main restaurants and bars are also situated here. The wonderful listed building is a former palace dating from the 18th Century and was originally built to house Nice's aristocracy. It is truly majestic with a magnificent entrance hall concealed behind the main front door and wide sweeping stairways.
The apartment gets the sun for most of the day with outstanding panoramic views of the evening sunset over the bay and rooftops of Old Nice from both the main room and the kitchen. There is also an unobstructed view of Chateau Hill from a separate window next to the dining area. Located on the top floor (6th floor - no lift) it is therefore very quiet whilst benefiting from a superb central location.
Would suit a romantic break for a couple or a couple with one or two small children.
