Discover this unique studio - fully renovated in 2023 - in one of the oldest buildings (17th century) of the old town of Nice. In the modern furnished studio with a unique floor made of granite, whose stones were divided by hand and stone by stone was inserted individually with handwork, you will feel comfortable and feel the special flair of this apartment. In the middle of the Old Town of Nice, 1min from the famous Cours Saleya and 2min from the beach. It can not be better (-:
The studio is located on the first floor of the building without elevator. In the spacious living room, next to the entrance, there is a closet, a sofa bed (140x190cm), a closet to store your things, a TV with many different channels and access to Netflix and PrimeVideo (you need to log in with your own account please) and YouTube. There is also a dining table with 2 chairs to have a nice meal and work on the computer. The kitchen is located at the end of the living room, from where you also have access to a cute balcony where you can comfortably drink a glass of wine. The kitchen is well equipped; with an oven, 2 hotplates, a kettle, toaster and Senseo coffee maker. Pans, pots, dishes, cutlery etc. are of course also included in the equipment. The bathroom, also very original left with the original tiles, is equipped with shower, sink and toilet.
Important information:
Following comments from guests regarding the sofa bed, which did not offer enough comfort, we purchased a new sofa bed at the end of 2023, which now offers greater stability and a higher quality mattress, providing a pleasant level of comfort.
I, Hanna, will welcome you and show you around the apartment. I will also be happy to give you tips about the area and Nice and my recommendations for you (-: Also during your stay I will be there for you if you have any questions.
The old town of Nice:
Nice presents itself most beautifully and originally in Vieux Nice, the old town. In fact, this part of Nice fulfils almost all the clichés one can have of a city in Provence in particular and in more southern European climes in general: Winding, narrow streets invite you to explore, hidden courtyards shaded by pine trees to linger, pastel-coloured houses and baroque churches to marvel at, and countless small shops to shop and discover.
Leave the city map in your pocket and just drift through the maze of alleys - you will automatically pass the most important sights. Do as the locals do and drink your morning coffee in one of the pretty little cafés, escape the midday heat in the cool maze of alleys and in the evening enjoy the fragrant local specialities in one of the many small restaurants, some of which specialise in specialities such as "tourte de blette", lavender specialities or small fish dishes.
The Colline du Château, the "castle hill" to the east of the city, was once the settlement of Nice. Today, only remains of the fortress and the cathedral can be seen on the hill, which is strategically located by the sea - but visitors are offered a fantastic view of the old town of Nice, which spreads out at their feet. Especially in the evening, when the sun slowly sinks into the sea, the beautiful old houses with their red tiled roofs shine in the spotlight and the street lamps transform the Promenade des Anglais into a sea of lights, Nice shows its gentle, romantic side.
Arrival from the airport:
From the airport you can take the streetcar T2 direction Port Lympia and get off at the Chateau/Garibaldi stop. From there you will walk only about 5-7min to the apartment.
Arrival from Nice Ville main station:
From the main train station you can take streetcar T1 direction Hôpital Pasteur and get off at the Opéra - Vieille Ville stop. From there you will walk only about 5min to the apartment.
Arrival by car:
Access to the old town by car is limited. We recommend parking in the public parking garage Cours Saleya (directly under the market) or Palais de la Justice. There you can also get season tickets (tickets for several days), which are usually cheaper if you do not use the car frequently.
