South France Apartment - Studio in Nice, French Riviera (PR-229)

You can’t beat the views of Nice, nestled in the Alpine foothills on the French Riviera, offered by this fully furnished studio apartment in the city’s Vieux Port district. The vacation rental accommodation is on the fifth floor (considered sixth in the US) of a postwar elevator building with a security system.

Decorated in a contemporary Mediterranean style, typical of the South of France with white walls and touches of bright colors, the apartment charms with sloping ceilings and north-facing views of the hills behind the city. A full-size trundle bed provides comfortable sleeping space while doubling as a sofa facing the flat-screen TV.

The compact and convenient kitchenette offers all the basic amenities you’ll need to cook at home as well as cabinet space for storage. You can sit down and eat at the central dining table, which has space for four.

Ideally situated for enjoying Nice’s cultural riches and natural beauty, the accommodation is located directly on the city’s Old Port.

• For stunning views and refreshing Mediterranean breezes, hike up the Colline du Château (900m/.6mi) that overlooks the port and bay.
• You can enjoy world-class high culture at the Musée d'Art Moderne (800m/.5mi) and the historic Opéra de Nice (1.5km/.9mi).
• Watch the sunset while relaxing at a seaside café on the Promenade des Anglais (1.1km/.7mi), which lines the Baie des Anges that made the city such a prominent destination.

You can get to Nice by plane (from the Aéroport Nice Côte d’Azur, 9.7km/6mi), train (Nice Ville station is served by TGV high speed trains, 2.7km/1.7mi) or car (via the A8/La Provençale highway). Italy and Monaco are both less than one hour’s drive away.
