Exceptional - Heart of the Old Town & 2mn from sea - Fully air-conditioned

Located right in the heart of Nice Old Town (“Le Vieux Nice”), we offer a stylish and inviting apartment for travellers wishing to immerse themselves in the most authentic and vibrant part of town while being 2mn away from the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean and the famous Promenade des Anglais.

Recently renovated to a very high standard, our 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, fully air-conditioned apartment successfully blends original features and traditional French furniture with contemporary kitchen design and appliances, making it a rare find in this sought-after neighbourhood. The high ceiling and windows with their original wooden shutters are graceful reminders of the building ancient past, and allow guests to enjoy magnificent views over the Prefecture Palace and its yellow stucco façade, beautifully lit at night.

In keeping with our prestigious surroundings, we have furnished the apartment with an eye for elegant details (wooden floor, floor-length linen curtains, mirrors and chandeliers) and chosen the equipment to make our guests’ stay as comfortable as possible. From hotel quality mattresses and bed linen to top of the range Italian kitchen and appliances (De Dietrich) and air-conditioning throughout, we hope that our guests will feel at home from the minute they step in.


• Living & cooking

Each piece of furniture has been meticulously chosen with the lifestyle of the discerning traveller in mind, whether enjoying an espresso at the bar, a glass of wine on the sofa or a gourmet meal at the wooden dining table.
Our brand new and fully equipped kitchen is a cook’s dream, with first-class appliances by De Dietrich, ample selection of crockery, large storage space, a very large worktop and a few recipe books.
There are endless dining and entertainment options just down the street but after a long day at the beach or spent exploring the area; you might choose to sink into our comfortable sofa and watch a movie or your favourite series from our selection of channels or Netflix.


• Sleeping & bathing:

All bedrooms have air-conditioning units and hotel-quality mattresses to guarantee our guest maximum comfort.
Bedroom 1: king-size bed (180x200cm),
Bedroom 2: queen-size bed (160x200cm) a
Bedroom 3: king-size (180x200 cm) or 2 twin size beds (90x200cm). This flexibility allows us to accommodate families and groups of friends alike comfortably.

Bathrooms: Two of the bathrooms are equipped with showers, and the third one with a bathtub. Each guest will be provided with a starter pack of quality organic soap, shower gel, shampoo and body cream.

• Access:

The apartment is on the 2nd floor of a traditional “niçois” building with a lift accessible from the 1st floor (our guests will still have to climb the stairs to the 1st floor).

WHY STAY IN THE OLD TOWN?

The Old Town is the historical and touristic heart of the city, its most iconic and vibrant district. Nowhere else in Nice will travellers experience the eclectic feel of this charming pedestrian neighbourhood bustling with local cafes, bars and gourmet restaurants, lively nightlife, colourful food and flower markets, charming local shops, artisans and galleries. It offers endless opportunities to wander the meandering streets and alleyways bathing in the warm hues of the numerous heritage buildings and sacred architecture.

Its unique central location enables visitors to go back in time while being only a few minutes walk away from the seafront activities, whether a romantic stroll along the world-famous Promenade des Anglais or a dip in the intense blue waters of the Mediterranean.

For those tempted to venture further, the tramway stops a few minutes away from the apartment, providing easy access to other parts of Nice and from there to all the major cities and attractions of the French Riviera.

Je ne sais quoi!
This was the perfect apartment for our group of six! We had both enough space for privacy as well as a great area for relaxing and cooking meals together. Arrival and check-in was so easy (to include being fortunate to have met the wonderful Karine). The location was great, communication was excellent, and the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry were well stocked. We have been to Nice many times and this was the best place we’ve stayed!

In the heart of Old Nice
We spent 2 weeks at No. 17 in the heart of the Veille Ville and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were three couples and appreciated the three bedrooms and three bathrooms (hard to find). We wanted to be able to walk everywhere and the location could not have been more convenient. The apartment was impeccably clean and well stocked. I will say one of the bedrooms (the one with twin beds) was smaller than the others, with minimal storage, and the bathroom for that bedroom was in the common hallway. It might have been more appropriate for kids than an adult couple, but it worked. The other two bedrooms, one a master with queen sized bed, and the other with king bed at the back of the apartment with large bathroom next door, were great. The owner Karine was very responsive by email on VRBO, and the check-in process went smoothly. We were met by the manager Sarah Jane, who was very helpful and gave us lots of recommendations. We had our bakery, pasta shop and favorite coffee shops. By the end of our trip we felt like locals! Others have mentioned the noise. The apartment is on a street with three very noisy bars that do not close until 3 am, and whose patrons spill into the street shouting and singing. Closing the windows and turning on the AC or a fan help a lot, and ear plugs are supplied for any excess noise. It was the price to pay for a great location. A couple of small issues (a power failure and hot water heater reset) were dealt with immediately by Sarah Jane. A great stay!

Our October Stay In Old Town Nice
This is a nice apartment in the old town if you don’t mind some party noise and Smokey smells from the bars on the street below. Closing the windows doesn’t really help. The owners kindly left out ear plugs for us. The kitchen has been modernised which looks good but we didn’t use it as there are so many restaurants locally. It was nice to be able to do laundry during our stay. THINGS NOT SO GREAT The elevator wasn’t working for most of our stay and is only accessible above the ground level, which we were aware of. But when it isn’t working you are walking up at least 20 stairs to the apartment. This was not so good for our 2 yo granddaughter or our 75 year old selves. The AC unit in one room dripped water all over the floor so we did not use it, It is an old building and so some grace must be given to the state of the apartment but it definitely needs a deep clean. The floors were quite disgusting that actually made our barefeet dirty. The curtains that didn’t close properly smelled musty and had stains as did many of the bed throws. The bathrooms had mold on the ceilings and the sink which can’t be good for your health. We organized and paid a high price for a mid week cleaning. However totally disappointed. Only a few beds had been changed and a couple of towels. Floors and surfaces not cleaned no rubbish taken out. Poor job and the management did not deal with this appropriately. Sad to have to be negative as it is a great location for exploring the old town

Great apartment in old town near beaches, restaurants and shopping
More than glad to recommend this lovely apartment! We (family of four with young adult kids) stayed almost a week in August. The location is fantastic. In old town, its a short walk to the beach. Shopping, restaurants and bars are right downstairs. There is some nightlife noise. The apartment is clean and comfortable. The air conditioning is great. The kitchen is well stocked. The managers are very good. They proactively communicated, providing us with local info. They responded quickly to requests. We look forward to returning to Nice!

Great city apartment in a Great Location. Walk to morning cafés and evening dinners. Busy street with some noisy nights but the host supplied ear plugs and we had enough to do during the day to sleep well. Train was easy to access for day trips or getting to/from airport. Plenty of home accessories including laundry supplies, hair dryers and kitchen ware. Beautiful living area to relax with extra touch of fresh flowers and a bottle of wine. Air conditioning in every bedroom and main living area with remote controls...nice touch. We enjoyed our stay with 6 adults. thanks Jane!

Perfect girls trip accommodation in Nice
A group of 6 women (all over 45) on a long weekend to Nice. The apartment was just fab. Really nice decoration, one bathroom per bedroom, very comfortable beds (and quality bedding and pillows) and the location is amazing (right where you want to be). The only negative is it's very noisy due to being located on a busy street so some of our party struggled with the noise at night - but we knew that would be the case as you can't have that location and expect it to be quiet! The communal hallway and stairs smell of damp (again can't expect anything different as it's a lovely old building in the historic part of Nice!) and someone with health issues or who's elderly may struggle with getting suitcases up the communal stairs but none of that bothered us. We LOVED our stay in this apartment and would stay again/highly recommend it. I would also highly recommend Carmela (outside table) and Bocca Nissa (roof terrace) in Nice for dinner. Le Galet for lunch on the beach and beach beds for the day (you can book a table for food but if you want a beach bed turn up at 9am to grab one for the day). Mayssa Beach roof terrace in Villefranche for dinner. A trip to Saint Paul de Vance (get there early and have lunch after wandering around). We had lunch at Le Tilleul (service was so so but the food was amazing as was the location) or you could go to La Colombe d'Or for a little bit of history/old school glamour. With all these recommendations you definitely need to book way in advance!

Great short trip
Overall, I would recommend this apartment. Location: This property has a great location. It’s in Old Town and you are very close to everything. I felt like we really lucked out on location. So many great restaurants around us. You must go to Maison Barale for their handmade ravioli. It’s right around the corner. There is a lovely wine store across the street. A chocolate shop a few steps away. Tons of restaurants nearby. Oui Jelato (they sell gelato) is a few steps away. The Property: The apartment is renovated, tall ceilings and has all modern amenities. It is very nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable. Great water pressure. The common areas (which the host has no control of) is not as nice. The building is shared with commercial tenants like lawyers offices so it’s very quiet. However, because of the location, expect some noise. The host offers earplugs. There was also an apartment under renovations below us and it was noisy but we were up and ready to explore Nice, so who cares. Communication: The property manager we met, Sarah Jane was delightful and she was very responsive when we had an issue come up. Karine provided an e-booklet of things to do while in Nice and we took both up on several suggestions and were very pleased. A few days prior to arrival they reached out and provided check-in information.

Even the grandparents had a great time!
Me and my family of 4 (2 young kids) plus a set of grandparents stayed here in August of 2023 and had a wonderful time. Place is exactly as described and as it appears in pictures. Conveniently located in old town. A short walk to grocery stores, farmer's markets, tram/bus stops, and the beach. We have stayed at the apartment next door 10 years ago and loved it there so much that we were lucky to find this apartment when we learned it was booked (and we booked in the winter 2022). Kitchen is fully equipped - we hardly ate out. Situated on a bar strip, so can be noisy at night during peak season but property manager provides ear plugs for those light sleepers. My 5 and 8 year old's still slept through the nights. Communication with manager was fair. Was a little disappointed that we did not have Netflix considering the cost we paid for our stay. It was problematic for my kids but luckily the wifi offset the lack of tv entertainment and we spent most of our time at the beach anyway. We travelled to many nearby towns considering the proxmity of the bus stops. Lots of great boulangeries nearby and some even worth the trek up town a bit. Host provides a guide of reco places and what's nearby which came in handy. Would stay here again.

Nice Space Extremely Noisy
The space is great. The decor is beautiful. However, if you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. We stayed for 10 nights and maybe got two full nights of sleep. There are bars and restaurants close to the condo. All night there is loud partying going on. There was also a weird leak, which was communicated to the property manager. All in all we did have a fabulous stay. Just some things for future guests to be aware of.
