Rue Dante, a luxury apartment in Nice, only 200 metres from the coast - Nice, French Riviera
2 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 2-6.

The Property: Our Five Star Apartment with two double bedrooms to accommodate 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 people.

This gracious "belle époque" apartment building - with its beautiful façade, balconies, louvred shutters to all windows, handsome solid front doors, marble staircase, wrought-iron and mahogany "Edwardian" lift and high ceilings - would grace the very smartest Parisian street. This is a real "town" apartment, yet situated just two blocks (less than 200 metres) from the Promenade des Anglais and the beaches, and just 400 metres from the famous Negresco Hotel and the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire (Palais Massena) in one direction and the Musée des Beaux Arts at the same distance in the other direction. La Cité de la Buffa, the biggest covered market in the centre of Nice is only 150 metres away. It has over 40 stalls selling top quality fresh produce and a wide range of local specialities. All the attractions of Nice are within walking distance and no fewer than 8 bus routes pass the door - a car is definitely not necessary.

You enter the building into a marble floored hall with ornate ceilings and either walk up the marble staircase or take the charming lift to the second floor.

You enter the apartment through tall double doors. This is a very spacious, light and sunny apartment with high ceilings and generous sized rooms. There is a hall with double doors to one side, giving access to the large, south-facing lounge with an elegant dining area (some 28m² or 300 sq. ft). There are two pairs of full length french windows - one pair has an ornate wrought-iron balustrade balconnette facing the street, the other pair giving access to a balcony overlooking the street. There is a CD/cassette player/radio, DVD player and a television, should you have time to watch it! All the furniture and furnishings throughout the apartment are in the Louis XVI style and there are beautiful antique chandeliers in every room - even the kitchen and the bathroom!

Also from the hall, to the other side, there are again double doors into Bedroom One, which is spacious and elegant. There are twin-linked beds with separate mattresses, which can therefore be separated if you wish. Full-length windows with a wrought-iron balustrade/balconette give a view over a well-maintained "cour" (inner courtyard). There is plenty of wardrobe space.

Extra information: Because the apartment is what the French call "traversant" (running from the front of the building through to the back) you have light from the south and north and through-air - very important on hot days and nights.

Bedroom 2, again accessed from the hall and south facing, has full-length windows and an ornate, wrought-iron balustrade/balconette. There is a very comfortable sofa bed with proper mattresses which, unusually, is designed to give either a single bed or two separate single beds, or by placing the 2 singles side by side, a double bed can be made. There is again a large wardrobe.

There are 2 fold-up beds with proper mattresses, which are normally stored out of the way, thus providing a fifth and sixth bed. These can be utilised in the lounge, therefore creating 3 separate sleeping areas if required.

There is a large well-fitted bathroom with a window, bath, shower facility and wash basin. There is also a separate toilet with wash basin. Both the toilet and the bathroom can be accessed without disturbing the other occupants.

The kitchen is typically French and with room for everyone to sit for breakfast. There is a brand new fridge, hob and oven, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, cafétière and washing machine/dryer.

Like our other apartments, there is also central heating, if you should ever need it. This apartment is a very elegant home-from-home and is beautifully furnished and extremely well-equipped to the same very high standard as our other apartments.

We believe that you should enjoy the same high standards when you are on holiday as you have the rest of the year when you are in your own home.

Location: Nice is a warm, vibrant, fascinating and highly cultural resort city at the heart of the French Riviera. It offers a thousand delights and surprises for everyone who has the opportunity to get to know it: enjoy the world famous Promenade des Anglais and the Negresco (Wedding Cake) Hotel, the Russian church and all the other wonderful architectural sites and attractions, the Sardinian neighbourhoods around the old Port, the Victorian avenues of Cimiez, and the breath-taking panorama at Mont Boron.

Not to be missed are the narrow, fascinating streets of the Old Town (Vieux Nice), the footpaths that link up the hills, casual strolls around deluxe boutiques in the town's pedestrian areas, the colourful Flower Market (Cours Saleya), the peaceful and relaxing Chateau Hill overlooking the stunning Bay of Angels and, of course, the Antiques Quarter. You must see the beautiful Place Massena with its impressive fountains, the 18th century Place Garibaldi and all the other picturesque garden squares. If you love to laze on the beach there are more than a dozen to choose from. If its the nightlife and the casinos you`re after, there`s plenty of that too. Also, Nice must have more than a thousand restaurants, brasseries, bars and cafes each with its own unique atmosphere and ambience and you will certainly have great fun in discovering your own favourites!

Nice is second only to Paris in the whole of France for the number and variety of its museums, galleries and exhibitions; it has a wonderful Opera House, similar to La Scala, several concert halls and countless attractions to suit every possible taste and interest that would take you months to fully explore. Two miles in the other direction, couple this with the old town and beautiful bay of Villefranche sur Mer and the spectacular peninsular of Cap Ferrat, and you have everything your heart could desire. These are without doubt our three favourite places on the whole of the French Riviera (and in the world) and they are all next to each other!

Travelling: Every day of the year there are flights from all over the UK, and other parts of the world, direct to Nice. By taxi, hire car or private car, all of self catering apartments are conveniently within ten minutes of Nice Airport. Nice is the perfect central location from which to visit (by car, bus or train) Monaco, Monte Carlo and Menton, a few miles east along the seashore. And to the west, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes and St. Tropez. Inland is Grasse, the famous perfume capital of the world, and countless enchanting hill-top villages. There are many ski resorts within an hour's drive.
