Fresco is a perfect apartment to experience French life. Situated in the top floor of a Niçois building it is light and airy and has a south facing terrace that enjoys the sun all day. It is positioned in a courtyard so is quiet too. It has a real mediterranean flavour and enjoying long lunches and evening meals on the balcony will be the highlight of your holiday. Being just a few minutes walk from the beach and close to public transport links makes this a great base to enjoy a relaxing stay in the sun or explore the Riviera if you can prise yourself away from the terrace.

Neighbourhood
The apartment is located just two streets behind the famous Promenade des Anglais, in between the Negresco Hotel and the Old Town of Nice. It is only a 4 minute walk to the beach! The many shops, restaurants, bars and clubs of the pedestrian zone on Rue de France lie right at your doorstep. This is one of Nice's most popular areas for its high street and exclusive brands shopping, or just for enjoying the holiday vibe during an evening stroll. Smaller food shops are all around, and a big Casino supermarket lies right around the corner. Practically everything in Nice is a short walking distance from the apartment. If you would like to venture further out, a major bus stop is located on the corner, and the Nice Central train station is a 10 minute walk away to explore the beautiful coastline and villages of the French Riviera. You will be in Antibes, Cannes and Monaco in respectively 15, 20 and 25 minutes, and the Italian border is only a 45 minute drive away.
Bedrooms
The lovely bright bedroom is situated at the courtyard side of the building, making it very quiet for a good night's rest. If you want to keep the windows open at night, the white shutters will allow a lovely summer breeze while drifting away. The bedroom has another balcony, to read a book for example in all tranquility. Non-couple guests can sleep separately with one using the double bed in the bedroom and the other using the high quality sofa bed in the living room. This should be indicated to the owner as extra bedlinen needs to be provided. The apartment is not really suited to use with more than 2 people, although it can be requested when there is a third of fourth person staying for only a few nights.
