About this property

Historic Heart: Luxury Suite 100 Meters From the Beach. Rooftop Views.2-4 People

100 meters from the sea! Stay in the heart of Old Nice, with a rare, romantic rooftop view—colorful, serene, and authentic. Experience the heart of this historic and lively district, famous for its charming little streets, with plenty of great restaurants and cafes; ideal for shopping. This 50-square-meter apartment with one bedroom (on the 4th floor without an elevator) offers peace, charm, and a perfect location for exploring Nice and the French Riviera. You’ll appreciate its cozy decor and comfort.
I live in this apartment regularly, and I’ve furnished it to a high standard since I live there myself. I’m very particular when it comes to quiet.
The apartment features a large living room with a beautiful open kitchen, a spacious bedroom with a double bed, and a large bathroom with a bathtub.
The view over the rooftops of Nice is a truly colorful scene that you’ll never tire of.
The location is ideal—you’ll be close to everything.
You’ll have access to fiber-optic Wi-Fi.
Need to check in early or check out late? Don’t hesitate to ask us. If your request is feasible based on the schedules of the guests before and after you, we’ll be happy to accommodate it.

A designer apartment
I love welcoming guests from all over France and the world and sharing the best of Nice life with them. I live and work here part of the year and in Paris the rest of the time. When I’m not here, I enjoy sharing my home with others and taking great care of it. My greatest source of satisfaction is knowing that you feel comfortable and at home here, surrounded by works of art and designer furniture. Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Chapo, Pierre Paulin, Etienne Fermigier, and Jean Prouvé are the designers of the chairs, stools, wardrobe, dresser, and tables you’ll be using.

A Zen Apartment
I’m very particular about peace and quiet, and I live in this apartment year-round myself.
However, the issue of tranquility is subjective. On the whole, both guests and I find the apartment quiet. I have never been disturbed while sleeping. I did note one comment from a guest about noises at night. This is the only time in 18 months that the apartment has been available for rent.
The apartment is located in a pedestrian zone, so there are no cars, buses, or trucks. It is on the fourth floor and was fitted with new soundproof wooden windows this year (equivalent to triple-glazed windows, blocking up to 42 decibels!). The apartment was completely renovated this year and is fully soundproofed from the inside.
But since it’s in a bustling area where you can hear the sound of voices, I think it’s more accurate to say it’s “Zen” rather than “quiet.” It’s certainly quiet for Old Nice, because the Rue du Malonat, which it overlooks, is itself an old staircase in a cul-de-sac set back from the main pedestrian routes. And at the same time, you can feel the joyful heart of the city and its inhabitants beating right there.
The Old Town of Nice is made up of small streets where cars are not allowed.
There are many paid parking lots nearby (“Parking du Palais de Justice,” 100 meters from the apartment).
The tram stop is 300 meters from the apartment.

There is no elevator in this historic building. You’ll appreciate this rare 17th-century palace, built during the reign of King Louis XIV by the wealthy shipowner Galléand de Châteauneuf. It was nationalized and divided among the residents during the French Revolution in 1789. The foundation walls, nearly one meter thick, keep the interior cool. With a little effort, you’ll find pleasure in climbing these historic steps. A marble staircase with columns leads to open courtyards designed centuries ago to ensure optimal ventilation. The apartment is located on the 4th floor.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Lovely apartment in the Old City

We very much enjoyed our stay of three weeks in this comfortable, thoughtfully furnished apartment. The kitchen features a spacious (by European standards) fridge and was nicely stocked with condiments, olive oil, and the like. The hot water is plentiful and comes quickly. The shower/bath works well. The bed is comfortable. Being in the Old City, you will hear people at the nearby establishments well below you, but the modern windows seal it out entirely when closed. The location is perfect: one minute walk to the Cour Saleya market, another minute to the Prom, and any number of very good restaurants, shops, and a bakery nearby. We would happily stay here again.
