The villa captures and compliments the life and liveliness of this vibrant exciting city.
With spectacular sea views, the Promenade/Beach is just across the road - 10 meters away, with private and public bathing areas. Castel Plage Restaurant on the beach provides all-day sun beds, umbrellas, and waiter service.
150 Meters away is the 'Cours Saleya', the main market square and centre of activity of the Old Town. Perfect for enjoying a coffee and people-watching. And underneath the square - a 4 story car park. From the patio there is a fantastic view of the whole Bay of Nice as far as the Airport (7km).
Behind the house, outside the hall door, is the Tour Bellanda, the most famous landmark in Nice. Culturally, Nice is renowned for its many very old Churches, 20 Museums, a world renowned Opera House, many theatres, hundreds of fine art shops and of course eating! There are over 3,000 restaurants in the Nice area and you can eat in a different one every day for a year – all within walking distance of the villa. Every type and at every price - even a Michelin star across the road from the Villa!
