Our holiday in Nice

D'd & M't Leeds
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
On arrival, we were met at the bus station (gare routiere; direct bus from airport) as prearranged and taken to the studio (few minutes walk) which was immaculate and absolutely delightful. We stayed for two weeks and it had everything we needed. We did a fair amount of self-catering and the only thing we needed to get for ourselves was an oyster knife! It's ideally situated for the whole of central Nice, as well as tram (connections to SNCF and chemin de fer de provence trains), and buses to further afield. It's very picturesque - we found two separate postcards of the street - but also very quiet; this is not true of all picturesque parts of Nice.

Pierre and his contact in Nice Rachael were delightful to deal with, absolutely straight and straightforward. We had no problems at all, but we had Rachael's mobile number in case we did.

Nice is fantastic for good food (restaurants and markets), beautiful churches, beautiful buildings of all kinds, museums (Modern Art, Matisse, and Massena are incredible; Arts asiatiques supposed to be but we went on a Tues when shut). Journeys out to St Paul de Vence and the Fondation Maeght, to Vence and the Matisse Chapel (both by bus), and to Annot (by train) were memorable. Villefranche is well worth visiting (local bus). There’s a big folder of information in the flat. It was really hot, so lots of beach and sea too - we didn't cope well with the large pebbles (though most people seem to), but once we'd joined those who use little plastic or rubber shoes to swim in, we didn't look back.

Would recommend it to anyone, and go back like a shot.

Owner's Response: An oyster knife is a good idea ! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Nice, I'll be there soon and can't wait, despite the years and all. The atmosphere is unique. It is true that I never eat any oyster there, so I'll get one. They serve fantastic sea food on Place Garibaldi, at Cafe de Turin. Merci for visiting, et a bientot j'espere, Pierre

Nice studio of character and charm

Francophiles England
Review Submitted: October 29, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Thank you Pierre for letting us stay in your charming studio. The location is superb, tucked away in the old town under the Colline du Chateau, in a corner much painted by artists past and present, including Raoul Dufy.
It is spacious for a studio and we loved the big balcony (shame the weather didn't let us have more use of it!). It was a pleasure to be met at the bus station by Pierre's delightful and helpful local manager, Rachel, who took us up to the studio, a mere five minute walk. We hope to return to Nice sometime and would not hesitate to stay at the same studio.

Holiday in Old Nice.

Phil & Linda. Nth. Yorks.
Review Submitted: September 26, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
This is the third consecutive year that we have stayed in this apartment. It has always been clean and tidy on arrival. It is very close to all facilities, bus station, supermarket and a large variety of smaller shops, including butchers, bakers, market stalls etc.all within a few minutes walk of the apartment.
Another of the advantages of this apartment is it's large terrace, there are a variety of apartments for rental in Nice, but very few are available with such an excellent terrace. This in effect is like having an extra room, especially useful for alfresco breakfast or evening meals.The location of the flat is in a pedestrianized and picturesque part of Old Nice and we would have no hesitation in recommending it. Phil & Linda.
Owner's Response: Merci Linda, merci Phil, I'm very glad you came this year again. Kind regards, Pierre

Looking forward to next time.

Review Submitted: April 5, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This was our second visit to Pierre’s apartment and hopefully we will be back next year.
We love the apartment, Nice, surrounding mountains and beautiful coast line.
The apartment is cosy, clean & full of Character. Exactly what you would hope to find in the old town.
Part of the excitement of Nice, is finding the Café, shop or hidden treasure that wasn’t in the guide book which is why we want to return to discover more.

A great find

Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
The studio flat is very comfortable and homely. We are missing sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun and watching the world go by ! The weather was wonderful and we visited many beautiful places. It would be lovely to think that we may visit Nice again in the future and stay in your apartment. Thank you, Pierre.

an enchanting stay !!

Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
My husband an I rented this appartment for a week. It's charm an location were rare,,, In the heart of the Old town it was very calm as well. We could could walk everywhere.. The apartment was spotless and we found all the conveniences of modern day life. It seems that Pierre , the owner had just bought new appliances such as the coffee maker and Ironing board and T.V. Pierre was very helpful by recommending us some restaurants and places to visit. We took the bus from the bustation located just a minute from his house. We even had lunch on the terrace one day in February ! So we just want to thank Pierre again

A Mediterranean Retreat

Vereia Paris
Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Charming studio with loads of character; stylishly
renovated with a decent size sunny terrace.
Situated in the very heart of Le Vieux Nice, ideal
for my city break (no need of a car)! Convenient for exploring the old town, but also for shops, restaurants, the port, the Promenade des Anglais or the ruins of the ancient Chateau.

Had a pleasant stay, and found my winter sun.
Will definitely recommend it to my friends and probably
will go back there myself.

In the heart of old Nice

Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We felt wonderful when we got to the apartment. It was cool and breezy when we opened the doors on to the terrace and we felt immediately at home. Discovering our way around was one of the joys of the trip ! A lot done in a short time, all because of the convenience of your apartment.

Our perfect holiday in Nice!

Missing Nice already! Ashford. Kent
Review Submitted: March 30, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The apartment is set in what is called the 'old town' if you truely want to capture Nice and all it's true charm then this apartment is perfect. We wanted to discover the true Nice and be within reach of all the local shops, restaurants, buses,trams & train station and of course the beach!
The apartment is very well equipped, full of charm, clean and tidy and very light & bright. The balcony is stunning, we had many a romantic breakfasts and evening drinks and all in all a perfect break.
We are already looking at booking again for next year!
