Great Appartment in beautiful Beaulieu
Review Submitted: November 21, 2008

Having previously lived in this area for two years I know just how hard it is to find good rental accommodation. This apartment is a real gem. It is spacious, light, comfortable and clean. The views are lovely and the location is great. Everything you need is a short walk away, we used to send our 9 year old boy out in the morning for croissant, it is very friendly and feels safe. Don't miss the fab fruit and veg from the market every day, or a coffee at The Grand Cafe, pizza at The Bergulan, Le Max at the Port (if you are feeling a bit posh). Children are welcome everywhere and English is widely spoken if your French isn't so good. The bus and train service to Monaco and Nice are excellent (we prefer the bus as it is every 15 minutes and you get to see more). We have 3 boys under 10 and there is so much to do, we would recommend, in Monaco: The Oceanographic, Parc des Animaux, the Car Museum, the little site seeing train and Stars and Bars for lunch (at The Port). In Nice: Parc Phoenix, explore the old town and walk along the Promenade des Anglais, shopping at Nice Etoile plus the site seeing train. Our favourite beach is at Villefranche, and this is a nice little place to explore as well. A must is the beautiful walk from Beaulieu along the coastal path to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, and the zoo at Saint Jean is lovely. If you are feeling a little adventurous you could take the train to Ventimillia in Italy for the Friday market. Eze Village is worth a visit, plateau St Michel for fabulous views (you can walk there from Beaulieu if you are feeling fit, or take the number 84 bus) ... I could go on and on - it is such a beautiful area that we shall certainly be revisiting as soon as possible.
