About this property

Sunny, spacious and chic in the heart of old town Nice

Our bright newly renovated apartment is on the second floor of an historic palace or nobleman's ongrand house. Its high windows with carved lintels look out on to two of the most desirable streets in Nice old town. To one side is the beautiful baroque church of St Rita, with its pretty tiled belfry; opposite is a friendly, quirky, very Nicoise pavement cafe, perfect to sit and watch the world go by. Try the great restaurants on your doorstep or buy fresh market produce, stroll to the 'caves' for excellent, reasonably priced wines - then cook in our large, well stocked kitchen with its hand painted Italian tiles. The bedroom has original tomette tiles and two double beds: one has a beautiful antique carved headboard and the other occupies the mezzanine level. The living room has a large antique mirror, chandelier, swivel armchair and an L-shaped convertible corner sofa. Open the shutters and let the sun shine in on both sides of our lovely Nicoise Apartment.


Step out of the building's ancient doorway (type 'les portes medievales rue benoit bunico' into your browser if you are interested) and you are instantly in the city's historic heart, very much alive with the everyday comings and goings of its inhabitants, cafe culture, open air restaurants and artistic high spots. If you want to feel at the centre of things, lean out of the window and see the life of the old quarter at first hand, this is the place for you. The old town is probably not the place for an early night or for a quiet getaway. Very few people are not captivated by its bohemian charm.

Many thanks for a wonderful stay at your apartment. The location was excellent, and the apartment had everything we needed. We walked for miles every day and still missed a lot, so hopefully will make a return visit in the near future. Once again, thank you for all your help and thank Satu for us for being so helpful.

Perfect location but in need of TLC
The flat is ideally situated just behind the market and the Promenade des Anglais. However we may have been unlucky as it had not been cleaned properly and linens, towels and cushions were tired. The shower was not working properly. There are 37 steep and uneven stone steps up to the flat that would not suit some people. The flat is over a noisy bar but when the windows are closed you cannot hear a sound. With more attention to detail this is an ideal base to explore Nice.

Great location spoiled by noisy bar
Comfortable and well equipped apartment in centre of the old town, full of character though a tad shabby. Bedding, pillows, and towels past their best. Very noisy bar below, especially at weekend nights.

David P., London, UK

Large, well equipped apartment in ideal location
Spent the Xmas week in Nice, weather was fabulous (16/17 degrees), the apartment is located ideally, right in the centre of the old town, on the 2nd floor, just off Rue de la Prefecture. The apartment is quite large, very well fitted out (dish washer, washing machine) with excellent double glazing which totally blocks any noise from the bars below. There are two double beds, one on the mezzanine, which were very comfortable, plenty of cupboard space and hundreds of TV channels and the wifi was excellent, fast and reliable. The apartment has everything you could need, but the real reason for booking this apartment is the location, ideal for bars, restaurants and 5 mins walk from the sea.
