left in Nice's most sought after residential area combining charm and authenticity.
Overlooking the port of Nice the villa is superbly located within a few minutes walk from beaches and rocky out crops (excellent for snorkelling sunbathing and jumping off), parks and all the shops and restaurants you may need. Ideal as a base for exploring the rest of the Cote d'Azur or perfect if you just want to hangout in the one place immersing yourself in the true Niçoise culture and tradition.
DETAILS OF ACCOMMODATION
Villa Claudia is one of four villas built in the 1800s by the patriarch of an old Niçoise family intending to leave one for each of his daughters, - at this time the area was olive groves and fields with a smattering of villas - a dusty dirt road leading away from the port of Nice to the small fishing village of VilleFranche beyond.
With the passage of time Nice has grown spreading and encompassing the surrounding fields and groves, no longer the small resort town favoured by the English for their winter retreats - it is now an exciting busy cosmopolitan city with something for everyone. Surrounded by the growing city these villas have remained a unique pocket of yester year, a haven of peace and tranquillity, a drop of greenness -where it is possible to experience a glimpse of its rich past, yet stepping out you are within minutes of everything modern day Nice has to offer too.
The apartment is situated on the top floor south facing - so bathed in sun all day and has views out to the sea and port. It has a balcony in front and a terrace on the side, as well as a small garden at the back with a table and chairs where you can cool off under the orange tree or just use it to hang your washing to dry...
As you enter the apartment you come into the hallway with its striking original tile work that is characteristic of villas of its epoch. To the right is the bedroom with its double bed and large windows facing out onto the terrace.
To the left you enter the double dining room and sitting room with its lovely polished parquet flooring and large French windows which open out onto the balcony looking out to the sea beyond. The dining room has an unusual slate table which seats up to 6 comfortably and another window overlooking lush greenery and palm trees.
The sitting room has a double sofa bed which converts quickly into a comfortable bed for two.
The kitchen further down on your left is well equipped with a washing machine, combination convection and microwave oven and is furnished with all the essential crockery and cooking equipment etc.
The bathroom leading off from the kitchen looks out onto the little garden in the back and has a bath and shower attachment. Hot water is unlimited so you never have to worry about running out!
Parking is not reserved but there is an alley way leading up to the villa which has three spaces allocated for residents, first come first served and the road the villa is on has free parking, - I have never had a problem of finding some where to park within a 5 minutes walk away.

ABOUT THE AREA
Pick up any guide book and you can see that Nice and its surrounding area is
rich in history, culture and tradition.
Villa Claudia can be used as a base to explore the whole area or just to discover Nice itself. Winter, Spring, Autmun or Summer - every season is special and has something to
offer.
Winter and Spring bring the crisp clear sunny days that the coast is famed for with its fantastic light that drew artists such as Picasso Cezanne etc, excellent for walking in and exploring the many museums, hiking or mountain biking in the back country with all its beautiful hill perched villages, or going even higher and trying your hand at skiing and snow boarding.
Summer and the start of Autumn are ideal for all those activities associated with the sea, if its scuba diving, wind surfing, sailing , snorkelling or just working on that tan!
There is always some event happening, from the Christmas fairs and skating rinks that are created, carnival in February. The Lemon and Orange Festivals, special exhibitions, the Cimiez and Juan les pins Jazz Festival in July, the Grand Prix in Monaco in May, Cannes Film Festival, Firework competitions throughout the summer, Bastille Day - July 14th, antiques fairs..... the list
is never ending.
