Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in Antibes, Cote d'Azur - Riviera, France

Further Info

There is quite a lot to do and see in Antibes for a short visit so that a hire car is not really necessary. The train also provides an easy way to explore other places along the coast. East to Biot, Cagnes, Nice, Villefranche, Beaulieu, Eze, Monaco, Menton and Ventimiglia. West to Juan Les Pins, Cannes and Grasse. A car is only required if you want to explore inland, especially the famous old “perched” villages. The Picasso museum in the sea facing Grimaldi Chateau is just the other side of the old town ramparts 50m from the apartment. Picasso lived and worked in the Chateau for a period when he was into Ceramics. The museum has an excellent terrace looking out to sea. There are often spectacular views of the Maritime Alpes beyond Nice in the morning from the sea wall by the Cathedral and Museum. There are many outrageous large motor yachts in the marina (the biggest pleasure marina in the Mediterranean). Golfers have a choice of more than 15 courses within a 20-km radius.

Other beaches and coastal walk

The other side of the Cap d'Antibes has some beaches too. If one side of the Cap is breezy and rough the other is usually calm. Also, “Juan Les Pins” (where apparently Brigitte Bardot wore the first bikini in the 50s), which is effectively connected to Antibes but is on other side of the Cap has long sandy beaches. There is a spectacular coastal walk around the end of the Cap that can be reached from the parking at Plages de la Garoupe. In season there is a bus service.

Restaurants

There are tens of excellent restaurants within a few minutes walk of the apartment, and several just seconds away. Just a few doors up the road from the apartment is an excellent little French/Italian restaurant, “Le Tour Ancienne”. The chef here is amazing and matches many Michelin starred restaurants for quality and presentation at a tiny fraction of the cost. nearby Brulot's is busy, great value and surprisingly good with some excellent Provence specialities on the menu as well as pasta and pizza. Brulot also does the best take-away pizzas in about 5 mins for around €8. The restaurant stays open very late and will often be serving food well past 11pm. Other local restaurants I recommend are: 'Vauban' for beautiful food and very reasonable prices, “Les Vieux Murs” for slightly pricey open air dining with a view, “Aubergine” and “Le Jardin”. There are many other good ones but that is a start.
