Rue Papon, delightful apartment in Nice - Cote d'Azur, French Riviera
2 bedrooms, 1 shower room (Separate WC), sleeps 2-6.

The Property: A very attractive apartment with two bedrooms accommodating 2 to 6 people.

2 rue Papon is a traditional Nicoise house built in 1900 with a typically Nicoise entrance hall and staircase in a characteristic Nicoise street, in a very central location.

What is special is that this spacious, bright and sunny 2-bedroomed apartment occupies the whole of the second floor of the building and has been professionally renovated throughout. Every surface throughout the apartment has been changed or restored - the floors, walls and ceilings, the kitchen area and equipment, shower and toilet room are all brand new, as are just about all of the furniture and fittings.

To add to this, 2 rue Papon is extremely well situated being only 30 metres from the delightful 18th century Place Garibaldi, 100 metres from the corner of the Old Town (Vieux Nice), within a few minutes' walk of the Marina (Port), beaches, Chateau, the Flower Market, the Antiques Quarter, museums, galleries and concert halls, the central bus station, the beautiful Place Massena, the famous Promenade des Anglais, hundreds of appealing restaurants, brasseries and bars, and every type of shopping you could wish for. A car is definitely not necessary.

The apartment has marble-tiled floors throughout.The large sun-filled, south-facing living room has two comfortable sofas (one of which converts into a bed to sleep a further two people - thus giving a total capacity of six in three separate sleeping areas if required). There are french doors to a small south facing balcony, a marble fireplace, elegant glass-topped dining table and chairs and a newly fitted kitchen "americaine" with four-ring electric hob, microwave/grill, fridge/freezer, electric kettle, toaster and cafetiere, and a washing machine/dryer. There is a CD/tape player/radio, DVD player and television should you wish to bring your own CDs and DVDs with you.

Extra information: Bedroom One has two pairs of long windows and a marble fireplace. The double bed is twin linked with separate mattresses (very important on hot nights) and can therefore be separated to make twin beds if you wish. Bedroom Two has a very comfortable sofabed with proper mattresses which, unusually, is designed to give either a single bed, or two separate single beds, or by placing the two singles side by side, a double bed can be made. There is a very large wardrobe and a large cupboard in the entrance hall.

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 the north and through-air - very important on hot days and nights. All windows have traditional wooden shutters.

There is a separate toilet room with windows and a very stylish shower room (hair dryer provided), also with windows. Both the toilet and the shower room can be accessed without disturbing the other occupants. There are electric heating radiators in every room should you ever need them.

The apartment is extremely well furnished and equipped to the same very high standards as our other apartments.

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.
