This is not a holiday apartment.
It is a place to think, write, and see clearly.
From the 4th floor of a 1960s residence on the slopes of Mont Boron, the view sweeps from the port of Nice and the old town to the Promenade des Anglais, the airport and the Esterel hills. It changes all day long.
A bright living room with a dining area facing the sea, two bedrooms, a dedicated workspace, a fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor space on three sides: two terraces and a balcony.
The building borders the Mont Boron forest park. The port and the old town of Nice lie just below; Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco are easily reached by car or train along the coast.
Breakfast on the balcony, the port below, the first ferries heading out to Corsica.
Fibre Wi-Fi 7 reaches the balcony: open the laptop at the marble table, with the whole bay in front of you. For focused days, the second bedroom doubles as a study.
The winters are mild enough to eat on the balcony in December, under the awning, between the garden and the sea.
Take the pine and olive trails of the forest park from the door, walk down to the port and the old town, or follow the coast road to Villefranche and Monaco.
From the living room, the sun sets over the bay and the Esterel. Then dinner on the terrace as the lights of the Promenade come on.
On full-moon nights, a silver path runs across the water to the windows.
“Clean and charming bright two-bedroom apartment filled with artwork with large terraces and remodeled bathroom on the fourth floor of an elevator building in Mont Boron section of Nice. The master bedroom's large bed is comfortable. The other bedroom has two single beds. The apartment comes with a parking garage (or you can use the outdoor parking space when available). The view of Nice is indeed spectacular. Finding the place initially and getting in and out was a bit of a challenge, since the building is located on the very top of a hill with a narrow path leading up to it, but it's a small price to pay for the amazing views. Old Nice, the port area, and Promenade des Anglais are all just minutes away by car (we used both Uber and a private driver), and Cap Ferrat and Villefranche are about 10-15 minutes by car. The owner is both responsible and responsive and sends you in advance detailed instructions and some useful tips. We recommend this place for couples and small families and look forward to staying there again when back in Nice.”
“We have just returned home after spending a wonderful week in this property. First of all, it is in a great location with easy access to the key Cote d'Azure highlights of St Jean Cap Ferrat, Eze, Menton and the various Corniche roads. If you can tear yourself away from the spectacular view from the balcony that overlooks Nice harbor and the fabulous bay de Angels there is a great deal to see and do here. The home has a well equipped kitchen which is appreciated, the beds are comfortable and the location is peaceful. Norman our host was extremely easy to deal with and answered any queries we had very quickly. He provided many tips and hints regarding restaurants which were spot on. We thank you Norman for opening your home and providing a very memorable family experience for us. Merci Bien.”
“Outstanding views of Nice & perfect size for 2 couples! French doors open to the balcony & there is air conditioning in the bedrooms making our stay very comfortable. Owner Norman Smith is easily reached and very accommodating!”
