About this property

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.

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.

Great location and apartment
This apartment is fantastic if you are wanting to stay in the historic part of Nice. So well appointed. Ultra clean. Everything we needed. Only part we didn’t like was the rowdiness of the people during the night - walking up and down the street. We felt safe but it was just noisy. Otherwise will stay again for sure.

WOW, just perfect location and so comfortable.
Wow, was the words we used when we walked into Karine’s – it was even better than the pictures! The apartment has been beautifully renovated and equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The apartment was absolutely perfect for our family of 5, giving us and our 3 teenagers plenty of room and comfort for a wonderful stay in the heart of Old Town Nice. The apartment itself was part of our holiday! The location was perfect, right in the middle of all the action (albeit a little noisy at night, but the earplugs provided did the trick). At your door step were numerous bars and restaurants, the Old Town Nice market where you could pick up fresh fruit and vegetables plus more, the beach a few more steps away; and a short walk into the main shopping centre of Nice. The service provided by Karine prior to the trip was excellent, fast response times and the E-welcome Book providing recommendations on local restaurants and other places to access quality food and produce was an excellent resource to make the most of our experience in Old Town Nice. We were fortunate enough to secure bookings at two of Karine’s Restaurant recommendations and were not disappointed (especially Bistrot D'Antoine it was superb) Sara Jane, the on site manager was also excellent, contacting us prior to our arrival to arrange a meeting time and was waiting to meet us, explaining the key things in the apartment and answering our questions about services (such as supermarkets) in the area. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to stay in Old Town Nice. Everything you need is in close by walking distance and it is fantastic to come back “home” to a super comfortable apartment after exploring the streets and alleyways of Nice. If we have the opportunity to visit Nice again, we would definitely stay here again.

The property was very comfortable and spacious for 6 adults (3 couples). Markets, restaurants, the beach, and other main areas were very close to the apt. It was easy to walk to many areas.

Excellent stay in Old Town, Nice
Communication was excellent, check in and check out was extremely smooth. Location could not be better in Nice providing easy access to shops, restaurants and amazing Gelato! Apartment was clean with all facilities provided that you would require for a stay and very comfortable. There was some noise from the street on Friday night but nothing that prevented us from sleeping. Overall excellent stay I would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Karine Moge

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 avid travellers often choosing to stay in houses and apartments of character rather than hotels.
We just love it when we find a property that makes us feel at home away from home and this is what we strive to offer our guests, a stylish, super comfortable and truly local experience.

Why they chose this property

We are very privileged to be living abroad, immersing ourselves in new cultures, but we will eventually settle in Nice one day. We have literally fallen in love with the Old Town, the beauty of the place and the relax vibe of this historical district. We love being able to do everything and go everywhere by foot, forgetting the car and slowing down the pace of life for a little while. Isn't it what holidays are about?

My personal routine starts with a jog on the promenade des anglais early in the morning followed by a café at a terrace on the cours Saleya. I then bring back fresh bread for the rest of the family together with flowers and fruits from the market. I couldn't think of a better way to start my day.
My husband's favourite tends to be the other end of the day, a glass of wine in hand as the sun sets on Nice. La dolce vita !
