This apartment is my personal property, recently renovated, where I come to enjoy all the wonderful sites, smells and sounds that the Cote d'Azur has to offer.
Cimiez, is the sophisticated and residential part of Nice filled with elegant villas from the Belle Epoque, fashionable apartments and sumptuous gardens where you will be immersed in the local lifestyle. It was chosen by Queen Victoria as her favorite summer residence. Originally settled by the Romans to overlook the Greek trading port at the base of the hill, Cimiez was called Cemelenum meaning 'hill top' and the ruins of its amphitheater and baths are at your doorstep.
This charming and spacious apartment measuring 52 mts is in a registered building, on the 1st floor, reached by a wide marble staircase. It has 11 ft ceilings and intricate moldings with original parquet floors. There are two private balconies, one facing the archeological site and the other overlooking Belle Epoque villas and a private garden. It is a great place from which to visit other sites around Nice, and has easily available street parking.
The large bedroom furnished with taste, has a balcony that overlooks palm, cypress and olive trees. The recently renovated marble bathroom, large in size, comes with a traditional Porcher bathtub. The spacious living/dining area with French shutters and windows, leads to a second balcony overlooking varied greenery and Belle Epoque mansions and is private, quiet and bright. The kitchen comes equipped for gourmet cooking or for a quick meal.
A few blocks away, you have a well stocked supermarket with numerous gourmet products and a great selection of wines, the local boulangerie and patisserie which makes one of the best tartines in Nice, fresh bread and croissants and an excellent boucherie/charcuterie with a nice view of Nice.
After the hussle and buzzle of Nice Ville, you will appreciate the change in pace amidst a beautiful historical setting where you can enjoy the wonderful wines especially from the Bellet region in your private garden, listen to the bells from the Monastery and walk around (or take a bike ride, included in the apartment) and enjoy the remarkable architecture that surrounds this upscale and residential neighborhood while keeping in shape for your next meal and experience!
