Le Döme has some rare untouched original features: high ceilings, wooden beams, traditional Niçoise red tommasse floor and the pièce de résistance - a ceiling fresco. The building was a 17th century palace and this was the floor where royalty stayed. History is cleverly combined with stylish, colourful furnishings and every modern convenience you could wish for. A rare treat for modern travellers with a love for the romantic and theatrical side of history. We'd like to advise you that smoking is not allowed in any YNA accommodation. The owners of Le Döme are asthmatic and are extremely sensitive to smoke. So if you are a heavy smoker this may not be the apartment for you.

Turn left out of your apartment and around the corner on Rue de la Préfecture is a one of the most recommended restaurants in the Old Town – 'Bistro d'Antoine'. The traditional local French food is of exceptional quality and the prices are a steal for this level of cooking. It’s so popular it’s wise to book ahead the day or afternoon before to avoid dissapointment.

The apartment is beautiful - what a find! We felt like we were in a palace. Being in the centre of the Old Town surrounded by restaurants, shops and the hussle and bussle of Nicois life I felt like a local. Thanks to Amanda for pointing out so many good places to eat, I have gone home a little bit heavier! See you soon.
