Why the Owner Chose Cagnes-sur-Mer

I have always dreamed of living in or near Italy. This was an ideal location to be close to Italy and the sea but affordable and convenient to reach with public transportation

The Unique Benefits of this Studio Apartment

Great food and wine are a walk away. Meeting lovely people, experiencing life in Europe and the French culture are a benefit when staying at an apartment vs. a hotel.

I can't tell you how enjoyable it is to shop for fresh produce, meat or fish and cook a lovely dinner in the apartment followed by a stroll along the sea and to complete the evening with a cocktail or dessert and espresso while watching the sunset.

For more action Nice is a brief bus or train ride and Monte Carlo is a trip that must be taken by everyone.

I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do when I stay. Bon Voyage!

    • I must admit I was a bit dubious about the Cote d’Azur (Cannes, Nice, etc.) before I got there. I pictured it as a place of bikinis and mindlessness. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the high level of culture available; various artists worked close by (e.g. Renoir, Picasso, Matisse, Chagall) and there are museums devoted to their work within easy reach by train or bus. No car rental necessary. And then there is the opera in Nice and Monaco, both a quick train ride from Cagnes-sur-mer. Moreover I think the waiters in this part of France act more human and less like the food priesthood of Paris. Added to that you have California style weather. The apartment itself is well furnished and in a peaceful, beautiful (2 blocks to the beach) section of Cagnes. Highly recommended.

    • We loved staying here and would do so again and again. This was our perfect home base in the South of France. From this cozy, quiet, and most comfortable studio we could easily make day trips throughout Provence and the Cote' d'Azur to all those wonderful enchanting places. Markets, shopping, cafes, and beach are just steps away. The studio is immaculate, tastefully and effeciently furnished and sleeps 4 easily. Being able to eat-in was a stress free pleasure with the bonus of saving money and those extra restaurant calories. Price is right! A great place to call home while in the South of France...we highly recommend this charming studio and can't wait to return.

    • Cagnes Sur Mer is a lovely seaside town with great restaurants - this apartment is about an 8 minute walk to the beachfront and shops and restaurants. Only a 10 minute train ride into Nice, or about 25 minute train ride to Monico. A cozy place great for two people - nice view from balcony, and modern bathroom and appliances.

    • From the minute my husband and I opened the door to the apartment, we felt like we were home. Everything was clean, cozy and comfortable - and as much as we loved exploring the neighboring villages, it was always great coming back to the apartment, setting out the great cheese, bread, olives and wine we bought at nearby marketplaces, and savoring it all on the patio. The location was perfect - close to buses, trains, and easy and beautiful walks within the town. We stayed a month, and wished we had stayed longer. Perfect setting to enjoy the Cote d'Azur.
