| The apartment is in a small, extremely well maintained private block surrounded by mature gardens, with palm trees and other flora that flourish in this warm climate. Testament to this is the fact that Nice holds its Carnival of Flowers and Mardi Gras every year in February.
There is a charming living room with a full width balcony and a beautiful view of the Mediterranean, the Bay of Angels, the Chateau Hill and the town. Incidentally, 350 meters along boulevard du mont Baron, is a famous view point and large sitting area that is recognised as the spot from where you have the most stupendous views of Nice, the Bay of Angels and the Mediterranean. All tours of the area stop here to take in the magnificent view and to allow a photo opportunity.
The living room and hall have marble floors, there is a kitchen Americaine, with a range of cupboards, a 4 ring hob, microwave, electric kettle, coffee maker, toaster, fridge/freezer and washing machine: plus a well fitted bathroom and separate double bedroom with loads of fitted cupboard space. Also there is a luxury sofa in the living room, which converts into a bed to sleep two more people if required. There is a CD/tape player/radio and a television should you need it.
But what is especially appealing about the apartment is that, because the block is set into the hillside, it benefits not only from a balcony and a lovely south - west view to the front, but unusually it has to the side its own delightful and totally secluded private and level, mature patio garden , measuring approximately 10mx4m. It has an orange tree, lemon tree, rhododendrons, lavender, etc and is equipped with an outdoor table and chairs and sunbeds, a real haven.
It is a 15 minute stroll to the beaches, marina, old port surrounded by a marvellous selection of charming restaurants, the Chateau Hill and Park, the Old Town, Floral Market, Antiques Quarter and the Promenade des Anglais. For those who prefer not to walk nor take a car, there is a bus stop ( Coecilia ) Route 30 , 100 meters away. |
