central Nice apartment near beach

Description from the owner

Bright, charming and spacious one bedroom self-catering apartment in the centre of Nice and only 750 meters from the beach and Promenade des Anglais.

The apartment is on the 3rd floor of a beautiful 1920’s Art Deco building (no lift). It is light, bright and airy as the ceilings are 12 feet high with all rooms opening off a terrazzo floored entrance which follows through into the Kitchen and Bathroom. There are parquet floors in the Living room and the Bedroom and both rooms have French doors (with shutters) opening onto Juliette balconies overlooking mature gardens.

The local boulangerie is at the corner of the street as is t...he supermarket. The street also offers a pharmacy, post office and laundrette. Whilst there are restaurants and shops just minutes away from the apartment, the very popular Massena pedestrian precinct is just 10 minutes walk away and has an abundance of open air restaurants and bars, chic shops and street entertainment. This area leads onto the beautiful Place Massena. (Impressive to see lit up at night.)Read more

This apartment is very popular with holidaying couples who want a very central location close to where all the action takes place, but away from the late night hustle & bustle of the pedestrianised streets. The opera, casinos, museums, pubs, restaurants and shopping on offer can certainly keep you busy! All in all, the apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway, break with friends, a birthday/ anniversary celebration or simply a holiday away from the office. It is an ideal 'pied-a-terre' from where you can explore all the great things the beautiful French Riviera has to offer!
Nice has a Mediterranean climate making it generally quite mild in the winter months with moderate rainfalls. As summer approaches the weather certainly warms up, temperatures can reach an average of 28°C - 32°C with blue sky! Imagine walking along the Promenade at sunset it’s never that cold and the atmosphere is just so NICE!!
