Location: Antibes, Nice Area, French Riviera (Cote d'Azur), France, Europe (20 minutes from the Nice Airport; 15 minutes from Cannes)
Accommodations: Apartment, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Located three blocks from the Mediterranean Sea in one of Antibes' newest, most prestigious, secure buildings. The building, "26 Albert 1er," is in the heart of the most desirable section of Antibes. This three-bedroom apartment is on the sixth floor (the fifth étage), in a brand-new luxury building, with an elevator serving its eight stories and underground parking garage. The view from the apartment's very large front balcony, which has an al fresco dining table, includes the sea, the mountains, the Old City, and parts of Antibes' center, the Place de Gaulle.
The charming and historic city of Antibes was founded by the Greeks circa 500 BC, and then became part of the Roman Empire circa 150 BC. The old portion of the city, which is two blocks to the east of the apartment, is still partially surrounded by magnificent 17th century ramparts. The apartment is located in the most convenient part of Antibes, and makes a perfect home base from which to explore the city itself, and also, on either day trips or overnight stays, to explore the entire Cote d'Azur, as well as Provence.
The apartment consists of three bedrooms, one of which has a queen-sized bed and an en suite bathroom, with the other two bedrooms each having two twin beds. All bedrooms have French doors leading to either the front or rear balconies. Other rooms include a living room, a kitchen, a dining area, and a second bathroom. Furnishings are a tasteful mix of antique and contemporary pieces. There is an underground parking garage, with a private garage door securing the apartment's enclosed parking space.
Within a few blocks of the apartment are open market places, gardened squares, the Picasso Museum, and sandy beaches. Antibes is 15-25 minutes from Cannes, Nice, and the Nice International Airport. Monte Carlo, Italy, and the perched villages in the mountains of Provence are easily accessible. Antibes boasts one of the finest marinas on the Riviera, which handles anything from 350-foot yachts to small fishing boats.
The resort mecca of Juan-les-Pins, known for its glamorous beach clubs and non-stop nightclubs, is within walking distance of the apartment. The legendary Hotel du Cap, and its beach club and restaurant, Eden Roc, on Cap d'Antibes, is a five-minute drive. Explore the winding streets of the Old Town, the countless restaurants, including the Michelin-starred restaurants in the area, the open-air antiques markets, and the amazing, daily farmers' market.
Take one of the ferries to the Lerin Islands for snorkeling and the museum and ancient prison, which held the Man in the Iron Mask. Try scuba lessons on Cap d'Antibes, visit the Hotel du Cap for cocktails, the Archaeological Museum, the Napoleonic Museum, the amusement and marine parks, the Film Festival and the beach clubs at Cannes, Cannes's grand seaside promenade, La Croisette, Grasse and its perfumeries, the art center town of St. Paul de Vence, and the glass-blowing center Biot.
Take the helicopter to Monte Carlo; or overnight trips to the snow-capped Maritime Alps, which are only one-and-one-half hours away, for hiking, climbing and rafting, Italy, Aix-en-Provence, the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, St. Remy, the Pont-du-Gard, the Roman ruins in Nimes, and the hilltop towns of the Luberon.
