There are many bars, restaurants and shops near the apartment. The beach is just 50 metres away and the large balcony has uninterupted views of the whole bay. The view from the balcony has been captured by many a famous artist and whilst sipping your Gin and tonic you'll appreciate why.

 
In all directions, the terrace has uninterrupted views of the whole bay
 

Why a Nice apartment rather than a Nice hotel?

Space, convenience and value for money! The average Nice hotel room is less than 20 m² (215 ft²). Even the 5 star Hotel Negresco only gives you 25 m².
The lift from the luxurious entrance of our residence will bring you to our apartment that features a terrace with beautiful views of the bay of Angels, a spacious living room, a separate kitchen, 3 double bedrooms, a garage, 2 bathrooms with bath, shower, 2 washbasins, 2 toilets, a bidet and there is a hairdryer and an iron!

Don’t wait for expensive room service, but have the luxury to take what you want from the kitchen. You can't find a hotel for 2-3 people in a location like ours more cheaply. And for a family of 4-6 it's a steal.

Nice Promenade Des Anglais and Nice area

The Promenade just in front of our apartment

In 1823 the English people who were very attracted to Nice’s climat and beauty, started to build the ultra famous Promenade, that stretches 7 km around the Bay of Angels, which was from 1844 known by the world as the Promenade des Anglais (the Promenade of the English). They built many luxury palaces and hotels, all its glamour is still present today. Nice is a busy, bustling city with something for everyone from the bright lights of the city shops, bars, restaurants and clubs to the lure of the water with diving, swimming, parasailing, boating and sunbathing to the activities of golfing, walking, cycling, sightseeing both in Nice and inland. Nice is the Queen of the Riviera and the Promenade des Anglais is the only place to be!!

One of the exclusively designed pergolas gives you some shadow on the Prom.

The Promenade des Anglais:

More than 150 years the most famous attraction of the Riviera.

In Nice there are plenty of things to do, so have a look at the links at the end of this page where you will find a guide of Nice that can be downloaded, then I will highlight now only a few things to know and some excursions. After Paris, Nice has the biggest airport and most of the museums of France. From July 2008 all municipal museums of Nice have a free admission. One of them is Musée Massena near the Negresco Hotel on the Promenade. From our apartment this is only a 10 minutes walk away. It is a beautiful palace that tells a story about the history of Nice and its famous people as Queen Victoria who stayed here in winter time in her majestic residence the Régina. The Régina is located in one of the hills of Nice in the Belle Époque residential area Cimiez where You can also find the Matisse Museum. When Matisse arrived in 1917 he decided never to leave Nice and he remained here his entire life.

The Massena Museum on the Prom

If you like to make a little excursion with public transport, these are some of the nearest possibilities. You can also take advantage of the luxary to rent
a car, a small car is recommended.

The Negresco Hotel by night

Visit in Monaco Monaco-Ville, this is the old town with the palace of Prince Albert II and the Musée Oceanographique which shows you one of the richest collections of live coral reefs. In Monte Carlo you will find the glamour around the Casino of Monaco. Everybody needs to witness at least once in their live the Monaco Grand Prix Formula One race. Since 1929 this spectacular event in the streets (!) of Monaco takes place each year in the third week of May from Thursday to Sunday. Since 1997, there is also the Monaco Historic Grand Prix half May every two years.

The Prom when the night is falling

Monaco, the world’s richest mini-state, is just 20 minutes away by train. For 1 euro you can take bus 23 or 12 from the bus stop in the street parallel to the Promenade on the back of the apartment, to the Railway station (Gare SNCF). Then at the railway station you will find out that a retour ticket is just a few euro’s. At the railway station ask for a time schedule for the coast trains. Then you will see that also Cannes, Antibes, Menton, Ventimille (the Italian destination) is easy to reach.

Between Nice and Monaco there are several beautiful villages as:

The billionair's bay of Villefranche 


 -Villefranche (5 minutes by train) with its beautiful bay, children’s beach, the village, the harbour. Parking place available.

-Beaulieu sur mer (by train or by bus): visit here Villa Kerylos, a villa built as an ancient Greek home; if you like to walk, then from here you could walk to or take a bus to:

A glimp of the Russian Cathedral in Nice

Nice is international

In August 2008 the world’s most expensive house, which was built a hundred years ago by the belgian king Leopold II, is sold for EUR 496,000,000 by a russian billionaire. It is located between Villefranche and the beginning of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. Nice is very international orientated. In the past it belongs to Italy (in the old town of Nice you will actually think that you are in Italy).

After the English influence (they built the Promenade!) and of coarse the Rumanian Henri Negresco who built the world famous Negresco hotel where the most famous people as Madonna stay their night, Nice has a big russian influence as well. In the exclusive residential area behind the apartment you can find the Fine Arts Museum, which was formerly built as a palace for a russian princess. There are russian churches in  town and the Russian Cathedral is the most important one outside Russia.

Nice is also renown for its flowers. In February the mimosa is in full blossom. Here it is used in the flower parade "Bataille des fleurs" (the battle of the flowers).

Overwintering in Nice 
 

Queen Victoria, King Gustav V of Sweden and many other famous people took advantage of Nice’s mild winter climate and stayed in Nice during winter time. Nice enjoys an exceptional microclimate that has made its renown for two centuries.

Open to the sea, the city is protected from the wind by the surrounding hills, to the West by the Esterel Massif and, to the Northwest by the barrier of the Mercantour Alps.

 
Nice Carnival and flower parade is also at night!

Carnival in Nice

During two weeks in February, each day there is Carnival in Nice. Carnival in Nice is a big event, that attracts many visitors and tourists. In the afternoon there is on the Promenade the “Bataille de Fleurs”, this is a carnival parade that combines the splendour of floats decorated with thousands of flowers, the irresistable charm of lovely young models who watch over these moving gardens – in every sense of word.

In the evening the corso is illuminated!

The apartment couldn't be easier to find! You can take the Airport Bus no. 98 which will bring you for €4.00 per person to the apartment in 15 minutes. It departs every 20 minutes from Terminals 1 and 2. Or take a taxi from the airport at a cost of +/- €30.

If you arrive by car or like to rent a car, we can offer you free of charge our private underground garage, which is inside the building and which can be reached by lift as well. As all garages in the centre of Nice are a luxury and a rarity, you will find out that they are always small; therefore we provide you the exact dimensions of our garage: its width is 249 cm, its length is 677 cm, but please note it might be difficult to access with a big car because the private gate is smaller (width 210 cm x height 185 cm).

Given you only a taste of Nice's splendour and richness, now you have the opportunity to let Nice delight you with its elegance, unique light and mild climate. I have to tell you that it is my pleasure that you will enjoy your holiday and I cannot wait to wish you a very pleasant stay in our apartment! People will ask you if you walked along the Promenade des Anglais. When you tell them you stayed on it and show them your pictures of the Mediterranean view from the terrace, they will be stunned. More than likely you will come back to discover more and more of Nice, the heart of one of the world’s most highly prized regions, the metropole with thousand charmes in all seasons. It is lovely to do some further reading and plan your own holiday trips. Therefor I have made a selection of links below that will help you having fun in advance.
