What a lovely apartment! We had everything we really needed for a short city break; Excellent facilities, awesome shower, cooking appliances, air conditioning (needed in June!), a balcony with a great view of their lovely garden. Cannot complain about anything! Really enjoyed our stay, especially getting up and visiting the boulangerie early doors, and then eating our breakfast on the balcony.
Jean-Luc met us as we got off the tram, and proceeded to enlighten us on all there is to do in Nice. Was really nice to get that sort of service from a host. And it helped that he was so nice and was such a funny character.
The location is a fair distance from Old Nice and the Promenade des Anglais, but with the Libération Tram Stop being just a 5 minute walk from the Apartment it was really easy making your way to the main parts of Nice. Plus it is only one stop via the tram, or a ten minute walk to the Nice-Ville train station. There is also a market that takes place most days around the Libération Tram Stop, so plenty of local fresh produce to sample.
Personally we wanted to use Nice as our main base, as it gave us the opportunity to jump on the train to many of the nearby towns of the Côte d’Azur. The apartment being so close to the main station of Nice-Ville was so useful! We then spent the evenings down in Old Town enjoying all of the fabulous restaurants.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Villa Le Nid. Will definitely return if we ever find ourselves...
Read moreStayed there from 9/13/24 - 9/20/24. It’s a beautifully redone building, built originally around 1915 along with the rest of the neighborhood I guess. They have made it into a classy two-level, with a loft (stairs are little steep and narrow, you should be sure-footed with good knees, also for the 50 foot stairs up from the street). Bed is just great, bathroom smallish in European style but very nice/new, hot water works great. Kitchen has everything you need, microwave, nice fridge, designer cook-plate. Tall (8-9ft?) French doors with multi-pane glass out onto little sitting balcony. Views of the hills and neighborhood are massive, really sort of “cliffside”. And manager Jean-Luc is the most fantastic guy, his English is great and super helpful/enthusiastic/friendly, one of those people that restores your faith in the human race. The place is very walkable close to central Nice and train station and various shops (FNAC for your electronic stuff, Monoprix or little local market a half-block up for grocery stuff, and all various other shops to the south/west). The street down below is busy but the suite is well sound-insulated. All in all quite an elegant and romantic getaway spot,...
Read moreA tasteful villa with modern refurbished suites, each including a fully equipped kitchen. Our suite was in a superb condition, very clean and fresh. There is AC and constant (but quiet) air ventilation in the bathroom. We also found very useful that there is a washing machine and the guests' disposal. The villa is surrounded by lush vegetation and there is a nice front yard garden with seating and a table where one can enjoy a meal or relax.
The accommodation is close to a tram stop (5 min to the historical centre and the promenade). There is a good boulangerie and a market offering fresh produce and fish 6 days a week in the same area. Bigger grocery stores are a short walk away.
Jean-Luc is a helpful and attentive host. He explained everything about the practical matters in the villa and offered suggestions regarding the surrounding area and the city. Communication over email and WhatsApp was always quick and without any problems. It's quite obvious that Jean-Luc is personally invested in that his guests are satisfied with their stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this...
