Charming and Characterful One Bed, Superb Central Location Old Town Nice
Sitting in the lounge window of Santa Lucia gives a lovely aspect towards Place Rosetti and its church one way, and a stunning view to the old town buildings the other. Santa Lucia is in a superb location in the very heart of the Old Town of Nice, a short walk from the beach, Cours Saleya and Place Rosetti. At night you can sit under the window, perhaps enjoying a glass of locally produced rose wine, whilst listening to the chatter in the street below. Or if you want perfect peace, just close the original shutters and double glazed windows, and the chatter fades away. Santa Lucia is a one bed, one bath apartment which has been lovingly renovated in a fresh style, whilst keeping as many of its original features as possible. The fireplace, tomette floor, doors, shutters and painted beams are all original leaving the apartment bursting with character. That said we have installed all modern amenities you would expect including a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom as well as a technology centre with international cable TV, DVD and complimentary WI-FI.

The location is great, an easy walk from the bus or tram stop nearby. The fans made the late-July heat bearable. The one thing missing was a way to do my recycling that didn't involve a walk to Victor Hugo (where I knew I'd find bins).
We loved our stay in Linda's home; the property management people were extremely responsive in their communication, and made the checkin/checkout experience very smooth. The home is in a great area, and we were able to easily get around town from the home. I would highly recommend - thanks Linda and all!
I stayed for a month in this lovely apartment in the heart of old Nice escaping the Canadian winter. The hosts and the property manager were very accessible and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

We loved the apartment in the old part of Nice. The location was perfect. If you like everything within walking distance, this is a great spot. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to make some great meals. We would consider going back.
Great authentic location in the heart of the old town Nice. Little bit loud at times at night, no air conditioning in the summer, might be a bit hot for some people. My partner would have liked a full length mirror. Otherwise a wonderful spot with all the necessities included in the apartment
Location was incredible. It was in the heart of Nice. Easy walking distance to every important attraction. The apartment is very old . Bed was very uncomfortable and did not have a top bed sheet . I have been traveling for the past 3 months in Europe by far this apt was not up to my standards.
Check in was easy and we found the apartment as described in the listing. It felt quite spacious and comfortable and was quiet at night. There was always plenty of hot water and all the basics were provided. The washing machine was useful.
We stayed two weeks and would have appreciated a change of towels and bedding at the half way point. We also thought a couple of the pans could do with replacing. However, it was good to be able to cook using some of the excellent local produce available locally.
As others have said, the apartment is ideally situated for visiting all the sights and using the fantastic public transport system in Nice.
We would certainly consider staying there again if we visit Nice in the future.
We stayed at the apartment for four days in July 2023. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but your view will depend on whether you prefer (1) being in the heart of vibrant, lively Nice old town or (2) having a quiet relaxing stay. This is because the apartment is not air-conditioned and we were there during some very hot weather, so that we had to keep the windows open at night. This meant that it could be very noisy. Depends on what you want!!
The appartment was perfectly situated just off the main avenue and tram route from the airport inside the old town ,an easy walk from the main tram station.
The appointment is on the 2nd floor with 4 short flights of stairs to climb. You have all the items you need to enjoy your stay laid out in a typical French style although the access to the bath and wc can be a tight squeeze....a comfortable bed and plenty of hanging space .
We did have some noise from building work in the block and the apartment above starting around 8.00 and people returning from the night clubs at 3 .00 so not one for the light sleepers.
Overall if you are looking for a real French experience this is the place for you .
Communication was very good with both the owner and property manager. The new washing machine didn’t work, but they tried to get it fixed. When they couldn’t, they gave me a small refund, which was very gracious.
Great shops and restaurants nearby. Minutes from the beach and a close and direct walk to the stairs up to an amazing view over the city and Mediterranean.
Be sure to lower the mosquito screen. I did but it must have snapped open in the night. I had a visit from a pigeon very early in the morning. Thankfully it escaped on its own, though it came very close to getting hit by the ceiling fan. It made for a few frantic moments, but we were wide awake and ready for the day after it left!
Would definitely stay here again.
I had a wonderful stay at this property tucked in the heart of old town Nice. It was perfect for my weekend getaway, I loved the easy walkability of the neighborhood, lots of great food options nearby, and close to the rest of Nice while feeling a world away. The host was wonderful and extremely helpful. The property was so cute and cozy, and it had everything I needed.
The location of this tres nicoise 2nd floor walk-up apartment is close to transportation, restaurants, the Cathedral de St. Repartate, the Palais de Justice and the very lively square.It is walking distance to the Promenade de Anglais, which is the walkway along the Mediteranean, with beach access. You can also stroll through the park on the way to Place Massena and Garabaldi Square is quite close. It's a in a great location for exploring Nice and it should be noted that it is on a pedestrian only street, which is important to know if you are ubering from the airport.
The living room has nice windows and there is a couch and chairs to relax in. The kitchen has all one needs for light cooking. The Nespresso maker was very nice. The bathroom has cabinet space for all one's toiletries. The bedroom has a wardrobe with lots of hangers (always a plus!)
We were in Nice during a heat wave and the two standing fans kept us comfortable with the open windows. The only drawback being the open windows at night as it is in a lively area. We used our earplugs and that mitigated the noise enough to sleep.
The host's notebook was very helpful and the dining recommendations very nice. Communication was easy and questions responded to right away.
Staying here was a great choice. We felt immersed in Nice culture. We can't wait to return!
Ich war zum 2. Mal in diesem Apartment und wieder sehr zufrieden. Dorine, die das Apartment betreut ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Apartment ist für Altstadtverhältnisse sehr geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Ich werde es wieder buchen, wenn ich wieder nach Nizza komme.
Premier séjour en février : parfait.
Deuxième séjour beaucoup trop court en juin, toujours aussi agréable. L'appartement propre et accueillant est calme et frais malgré la chaleur. Le lit est parfait. Le Vieux Nice est à la porte.
Je programme le troisième séjour !
Calme, bien situé, près de la colline du château et de la cathédrale Ste Réparate. Le tram est à deux pas. L' appartement niçois est plein de charme, très attachant, les persiennes donnent à la chambre une intimité joyeuse.
Un séjour d'hiver à Nice que je n'oublierai pas.
Appartement sympa, très bien équipé et confortable (lit et canapé ok).
J'ai prévenu de mon arrivée anticipée peu avant celle-ci : pas de problème. Quelques explications sur le fonctionnement de la ventilation et de la freebox n'auraient pas été superflues.
La disposition des éclairages mériterait d'être revue.
Attention à la tête quand on va dans la salle de bains ! :)
Bonjour,
Nous avons passé un super séjour. Nous avons vraiment apprécié l'accueil et le confort de l'appartement ; tout est à disposition.
Malgré la chaleur, les 2 ventilateurs ont bien rafraîchis l'appartement ainsi que le grand ventilateur de plafond.
Nous reviendrons, pour sûr❕❕❕
We had a lovely time staying at this property in Nice. Dorine was very helpful and informative from our check in and through the duration of our stay. The location is perfect and the home is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you would need. Thank you for having us, would absolutely recommend !!
