Nice holiday apartment

The listing really doesn't do this place justice.

The apartment itself was fantastic and much bigger than we thought based on the photos. The location couldn't have been better either - there's a wide variety of shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk and the promenade is less than five minutes away on foot.

The buses between the old town and the airport were great (€4 for a 20 minute journey along the coast road to Gare Routiere, which is a short walk from the apartment) and the buses between Nice and the other towns were even better. We paid €2 for a return trip to Monaco!

I really couldn't have asked for more

We stayed in this charming apartment for eleven nights in July-August 2009 and we loved it! The apartment is spacious, comfortable and stylish and we immediately felt at home. It was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need.

The location was perfect for our needs, in the center of the charming and vibrant Old Town and with most of the attractions in Nice within walking distance. We had great restaurants right at the doorstep and just one minute to Cours Saleya and two minutes to the beach and Promenade des Anglais. The supermarket Monoprix was easily accessible within easy walking distance.

We visited Monaco, Eze Village, Villefranche and St. Paul de Vence by bus, lovely and inexpensive trips. The bus station Gare Routiere is within just a few minutes walk from the apartment.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. All correspondence was quick and informative.

This apartment is a real gem and staying here made us feel like locals more than tourists which we loved!

We would be happy to stay here again and we would highly recommend this apartment.

Vi älskade den här lägenheten från första stund! Den är pietetsfullt renoverad och supercharmig. Den är utrustad med allt man kan tänkas behöva eller vilja ha, tvättmaskin, TV, DVD inklusive ett stort urval filmer, CD-skivor, strandmattor, kylväskor, torkställning för tvätt m.m. Köket är extremt välutrustat. Vi saknade inte en enda sak under vår vistelse.

Läget är helt underbart! Mitt i charmiga Gamla Stan med restauranger och shopping alldeles utanför dörren. Köp färskt morgonbröd på något av bagerierna i Gamla Stan eller prova på lokala specialiteter på snabbmatstället Lou Pilha Leva. Ett stenkast från porten ligger Fenocchio, glassbaren med fler än 90 olika smaker att välja bland! Nice är en helt underbar promenadstad och man når lätt alla sevärdheter till fots. Ett stort plus var närheten till stranden.

Att hyra bil visade sig vara helt onödigt. Du når lätt de flesta orterna på Rivieran med buss. Nära till busstationen och jättebilligt att åka, endast 1 Euro/person. Bussresorna längs med kusten bjuder på oerhört vackra vyer och det finns så många underbara ställen att besöka. Vi kan verkligen rekommendera dagsutflykter till bl.a. Monaco och St. Paul de Vence.

Ägarna är oerhört trevliga och hjälpsamma med kartor, tips och information om sevärdheter, restauranger m.m.

Vi älskade Nice och vi älskade den här lägenheten. Vi återvänder gärna!

This is a brilliantly located apartment in Old Nice, a beautiful apartment full of traditional character situated in the bustling French back streets.
We took the Eurostar to Nice from Kings Cross, and with a 10 min cab ride to the apartment from the station, it was a straight forward journey.
The apartment itself is more than equipped, washing machine, dishwasher, a selection of books, DVD's, IPod docking station etc and a kitchen fully equipped, perfect for dinner party entertaining to a picnic basket for a day of sightseeing.
Every possible need has beeen thought of and the rooms are comfortable; clean with a practical lay out.
Pete and Pat the owners are extremely friendly and efficient and sent some great maps, local info and sightseeing suggestions before hand, along with lots of handy local hints and tips.
The beach is in walking distance, and also convenient access to train or bus routes for sightseeing further out of Nice. I would highly recommend a bus trip to Monaco for the day to see how the other half live!!!
Food is very good (though a little pricey) with a huge range of restaurants, bistros and pizzerias right on the doorstep of the apartment. There is a great 6 Euro pizza takeaway if you turn right out of the apartment on the left hand side, perfect for taking down to the beach with a couple of cold beers!
Overall, this for us has been an ideal place for a holiday, the culture, food, variety of places to see and things to do are of plenty and an apartment which can not be faulted, perfect for whatever type of holiday you may chose to have in Nice.
