The two-bedroom NON SMOKING apartment is located in the exclusive area of Nice called Mont-Boron (Boron Hill). The building on the hill explains the unique views 5se comments from previous occupants).You might have heard about it since Architectural Digest did publish pictures of Elton John's property, located in the area. You may easily locate the apartment on a map since it is between the "basse corniche" (also named bd Maeterlink, along the seacoast) and the "moyenne corniche" (also named National road 7 going to Monaco). Its facing Nice harbour, Nice Bay (Baie des Anges) and the open sea.
Completely renovated by an architect in an Italian-Provencal fashion, it has a living room with a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Promenade des Anglais, the Alps, the Esterel Mountains, and the old Nice. Since the apartment is on a hill, the view is almost comparable to the one you have from a plane.
The bedrooms open onto a large terrace which overlooks a city-owned park on a hill. Bedrooms are covered with hardwood floors while the common area is covered with tiles from Tuscany. The master bedroom has a very confortable queen size bed (Simmons) and the guest bedroom has 2 twin beds.
The kitchen opens up onto a small balcony with a beautiful ocean view. There is sun all day since the apartment has three orientations, from east to west. You can then have your breakfast and look at the sea as the sun rises and have your dinner with the same view as the sun sets with a beautiful view of the illuminated city and it's Promenade. Because of its unique location, the apartment is very quiet. There is a private garage for one car or you may leave the car in a parking lot. There is one bathroom and a separate room for the toilet.
All windows have electric shades. Beds and furniture are new, except early XIX century Provencal chairs in the living room and a Louis-Philippe cupboard in one bedroom. Spices, dry herbs, alcool and cleaning liquids are left in the apartment for your convenience. Their replacement is expected.
Neighbourhood and weather: There is large grocery store at 10 minutes walk and above 50 euros, they provide a free delivery service.
Nice is the French's fifth largest city - well served by an international airport, trains, highways, and a harbor. Nice has its own opera house, many cinemas where films in English are shown. The city is at a 20-minute drive to Monte Carlo or Italy (180 kilometers from Genoa), 25 minutes to Provencal villages such as Saint-Paul de Vence and Monte-Carlo, and 80 kilometers from ski slopes (South Alpes). There is a 20-minute walk to the beaches, ten by bus, and five by car.
The swimming is very pleasant since the water temperature can reach 28 degrees Celsius during the summer. Even though people swim all year round, it is comfortable till late October. Warm enough to grow grapefruit and oranges not to mention the famous small Nice olives, the area is the warmest and the sunniest of France.
The dry Mediterranean climate gives a summer average between 25 and 30 degrees, 15-20 during winter (but it can be 26 on the terrace in January). Since the apartment is located on a hill and with its three orientations, it enjoys a natural and pleasant breeze. In winter time, it is warm enough to lunch on the terraces and go skiing in the afternoon...
ps I have north american and british adaptor (not electric converter)
