Garden apartment.
Sleeps 2 - 4. 1km beach.

Situated on a hillside above the town, with wonderful views of the coast from St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to Cap d'Antibes, this apartment is on the ground floor of an early 19th century bourgeois house. The original owners used to cultivate palm trees. The house has been restored to a high standard and is full of charm and character. The décor is elegant and the interior is furnished with antique furniture. The discreet French owners live in the main part of the house. The apartment is on the lower left of the photo above.

Accommodation
There is a spacious living room with a dining area. This room has a wonderful ceiling with 'trompe l'oeil' paintings. There are twin beds at the far end of the room so it may be used as a second bedroom when the house is let to 4 people. There is a brand new kitchen with 5 ring hob, oven, micowave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There is also a television. There is a spacious bedroom with a double bed. There is a shower room and WC. A cot is available upon request. There is a lovely private terrace (top lefthand photo) which is shaded by a 'poivrier' or pepper tree, for outdoor meals. All the rooms have doors opening onto this terrace. (The terrace in the right hand photo is in front of the owners' part of the house).

Situation
The property is situated high up above the western end of the Promenade des Anglais. It is possible to walk down to town and it is on a bus route so you can avoid the steep walk back. The nearest shops for food shopping are about 600m. The old part of the town 'Vieux Nice' is about 3km. This is a lively and interesting area: the Cours Saleya has a flower market and there are lots of good places to eat with a strong Italian influence on the local specialities. There are many art galleries and musuems in the town, in particular the Musées Matisse, Chagall and Raoul Duffy. The beaches in Nice are pebbly; the best place to swim is the Plage de la Réserve, beyond the port. The hinterland of Nice is well worth exploring and the sleepy medieval hilltop villages, such as Peillon and Lucéram, provide an interesting contrast to the cosmopolitan town.
