Photos and Description of the Nice Old Town (Vieux Nice) vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 53 m2, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, sleeps 2-4

Our bright newly renovated apartment is on the second floor of an historic palace or nobleman's grand 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 where you can sit and watch the world go by or access the internet. 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.

Nearest Beach : beach at 150 Metres
Car: not necessary

Our charming apartment is situated on the corner of rue Benoit Bunico and rue de la Prefecture, a few minutes walk from the famous Cours Saleya and its fruit and flower market, where the wide sweep of the Baie des Anges is visible through the arches of the old town walls. You are surrounded by bustling restaurants, pavement cafes, museums, art galleries, theatres, jazz bars, magnificent baroque churches and winding lanes lined with little shops selling delicious Nicoise specialities and artisan wares. Next to the old town, the beach is free and the sea just as blue but further along the Promenade des Anglais are the grand hotel beaches where you can sunbathe in style with waiter service. Trams and buses are closeby, and for 1 Euro you can travel to medieval hilltop villages, such as St Paul de Vence and Eze, or visit Antibes,Cannes, Monaco. By train you can quickly be in Italy. Ferries from nearby Nice Port take you along the Mediterranean coast to St Tropez or across to Corsica.

Ski: A number of resorts are accessible from Nice by car, train and bus. A dedicated ski bus makes it easy to reach resorts such as Auron, Valberg and Isola 2000 (approx. one and a half hours).

Thank you for our third stay in your wonderful apartment at the end of October. We had a wonderful time as always. Glorious weather abounded, and we relaxed immediately we reached your home from home apartment, knowing everything was on our doorstep.

Your apartment couldn't really be better equipped or located. Comfy beds, all mod cons and a good shower. 2 minutes to the beach, 2 minutes to the Cours Saleya and the markets, 1 minute to the artisan bakery, cheese shop and the best ice cream store with hundreds of amazing flavours - yummy.

Highlights this time were a night of live music in Shapko and relaxing with cheese and bubbles in the apartment while listening to life outside the window.

We still haven’t made it to Monaco, so will definitely be back! Thanks again.

Superb appartment

Submitted: November 27, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
If you are looking for a nice appartment, with good equipment, light, spacey, perfect location, than you should defintely go for this one. The high ceilings, nice furniture, it gives the appartment a luxurious feeling. The service provided is great.

We are a family with young children and our children were delighted with the double bed on the mezzanine.

We cooked on some days, but there are several good restaurants and pizza very, very nearby. But ofcourse, how can it be otherwise as the location of this appartment is right in the middle of the old city of Nice. This was the first time in this appartment, and next time if we come to Nice, we would definitely try to book this appartment again. Highly recommended!

Perfect

5 of 5
Submitted: September 9, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We stopped at the apartment for a week and found it to be ideal accommodation. The apartment itself is beautiful and provides you with all the amenities you are leaving behind at home.

Carol was very helpful whilst booking the property and Margit was equally as helpful when we met her to 'check in' to the apartment, showing us some useful places to know about on our walk to the property.

The area itself has more than enough bars and restaurants to keep you well fed for months and the beach is a five minute walk, what more could you ask for?

Highly recommended and we would stop here again when we return to Nice.
Owner's Response: Delighted that you found the apartment beautiful and ideally located for all that Nice and the old town has to offer. We very much look forward to welcoming you back.
