For trips to the beach, we supply beach mats, a parasol and a cool bag with ice blocks. We have tried to think of everything that will make the apartment a home from home for our guests.
For a day out to remember, take a boat trip from Nice port to Cannes, St. Tropez or the Iles de Lerins, or, if you prefer to travel by train, how about breakfast in Nice, lunch in Italy and dinner in Monte Carlo?
If you tire of the beach, you can visit St. Paul de Vence, an art lover's paradise. This village, with its narrow cobbled streets and fabulous views, is an easy 30 minute journey by bus from Nice.
The Chemin de Fer de Provence, a narrow gauge railway, offers a superb trip through the Alps to Digne. Entrevaux, with its castle and drawbridge, can be explored on the way.
The Friday morning market in Ventemiglia is another very enjoyable excursion. Several trains depart from Nice Ville to take you to a vast display of leather jackets, shoes, bags etc. at very keen prices.
The apartment has the two features which we consider to be essential for a comfortable stay - AIR CONDITIONING and OUTSIDE SPACE. The air-conditioning ensures that the place is cool and comfortable at all times, and guarantees a good night's sleep - a vital part of any holiday.
Outside space is very important in a place like Nice. We really regard the terrace as the piece de resistance of the apartment and, judging by the feedback, so do our guests. If you feel like fresh air, you do not have to leave the apartment, as you do with so many others. It is ideal for sun-bathing with an electric awning for shade if it gets too hot and perfect for a drink or dining in the evening while you watch the sun set. We have spent many happy evenings there, chatting until the early hours.
The apartment measures 60 sq. ms. with an extra large living area and an 18sq. m. terrace. It is, therefore, perfect for a couple who like a little more space.
The apartment is on the fifth floor of a small 7 storey building. There are no more than two apartments on any floor. There is a lift in the building but please note that we take no responsibility for its function.
There are permanent residents in our building, some of whom are elderly. As a courtesy to them we ask that you try to keep noise to a minimum, particularly at night.
Many of our guests have become 'regulars' over the years and tell me how lucky they feel to have found our apartment. One guest is about to return for the fifth time!
