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.
