Rue Bottero, a beautiful apartment in the heart of Nice - French Riviera
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 2-5.

The Property: An appealing two bedroomed apartment in a beautiful bourgeois building to accommodate 2, 3, 4 or 5 people.

This town apartment is situated in a quiet street, just 3 blocks (about 300 metres) from the Promenade des Anglais and the beaches, and just 500 metres from the famous Hotel Negresco and the Palais Masséna. La Cité de la Buffa, the biggest covered market in the centre of Nice is only 50 metres away. It has over 40 stalls selling top quality fresh produce and a wide range of local specialties. All the attractions of Nice are within walking distance, with convenient bus routes running past the end of the street – a car is definitely not needed.

You enter the building through tall double wrought iron doors into a marbled floor hall and take the lift to the fourth floor. The apartment is spacious and bright with high ceilings. All the rooms still retain the original marble fire places, and two have the original wooden parquet flooring. It has been professionally restored throughout to the highest standard. All the furniture and furnishings, and the kitchen appliances are brand new. There is an entry phone system.

From the large entrance hall, the first door leads to Bedroom One. It has full length windows with a marble balconette giving views over well maintained gardens. It has wooden parquet flooring and an original marble fireplace. There are twin beds, which can be put together to make a superking-sized bed, or separated make make 2 single beds. There is a tall wardrobe and a chest of drawers.

Further along the entrance hall is the lounge with an original marble fireplace, wooden parquet flooring and a splendid antique chandelier. It has tall windows giving the same views as Bedroom One. There is a beautiful Moroccan hand-carved sofa which seats two, 2 leather easychairs, and dining table and chairs. There is a CD/cassette player/radio, and a television, should you have time to watch it. There is a DVD player, should you wish to bring your favourite movies with you.

The apartment is what the French call ‘traversant’ (running from the front of the building through to the back) so you have through air – very important on hot days and nights.

Bedroom Two, accessed from the other side of the hallway and further along, faces east and has tall windows overlooking inner gardens. It has oak flooring and an original marble fireplace. There is a double bed and a large wardrobe with shelving.

There is a single fold-up bed with a proper mattress, which is normally stored out of the way in a cupboard, thus accommodating a fifth person. This can be utilised in the lounge, therefore creating 3 separate sleeping areas if required.

Extra information: The kitchen is equipped with fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave, cafetière, electric kettle and toaster. An iron and ironing board is provided. The bathroom has a window and is well fitted with bath/shower facility and wash hand basin. There is a washing machine, and a hairdryer is provided. The separate toilet has a window and a wash hand basin. There is central heating, if you should ever need it. It is truly a home-from-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.
