Property Details
The apartment is located in the Residence Neptune - a luxury 'co-propriete' on Quai des Docks. Immediately outside are moored the glamorous cruisers and work-a-day fishing boats that help to give the Old Port its magical charm. Within easy strolling distance are the shopping, night-life and many other attractions of Old Nice and the city. Yet the apartment is protected from the hustle and bustle, looking south over the elegant inner courtyard of the Residence Neptune.
The apartment is fitted to a very high standard and its two double bedrooms sleep four adults comfortably. All linen is supplied, along with modern TV and DVD equipment and always-on high speed internet connection. You can book from Saturday to Saturday or Wednesday-to-Wednesday, or combine start and end days - and we look after all the cleaning at the end of your stay.
Residence Neptune offers luxurious and stylish living in a luxurious and stylish city. Area Details Our apartment is in the Residence Neptune co-propriete overlooking the The Port itself - one of Nice's attractions. Although Greeks and Romans put in at Nice thousands of years ago, it was only in 1740 that the Duke of Savoy, Charles-Emmanuel III, excavated the current Port. Further beautified in the 19th century when the Place de Ile de Beaute was built on the north quay, the Old Port is a delightful area with shops and restaurants, mostly with a distinctly nautical flavour, surrounding the 'basin'.
High above the Port to the west is the 'Chateau' - the rock on which stood the supposedly impregnable city fortress; today there is little left of the old castle, but the rock is now a delightful ornamental garden with shaded walks, a waterfall, and numerous belvederes offering magnificent views over the Port to the east and the Baie des Anges to the west.
Sea bathing is available just five minutes walk away at the tiny, concealed 'Plage du Club Nautique'; beyond that, innumerable private rocky hideaways for the swimmer and sun-seeker. Le Plongoir, just beyond the Plage du Club Nautique, is the smallest, cheapest yet surely the best private beach in Nice: spend the day here for just Euros 9. For those looking for more energetic diversions the Port offers a range of activities including scuba diving and sailing schools, and fishing trips. You can book boat trips from a number of places on the Port: take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat to view the fascinating sealife.
In the evening the centre of Nice itself is just a short (and safe) stroll away along the beautiful newly-built walkway around the Chateau. But the Port has more than enough to keep you entertained all day - and night - long.
There are more than 20 restaurants around the Port itself, ranging from smart and expensive, to good value pizzerias. In between are many of the best-value eateries in Nice, most with a distinctly fishy flavour. Prices are competitive, the ambiance is unique in Nice and, unlike in the centre of the City, you can enjoy your meal free from intrusive street traders or musicians.
The Port even has a its own nightclub scene, with at least two clubs open long into the early hours. Travel Details 30 minutes from Cote d'Azur airport with excellent Easyjet links from the UK. 200 meters from Sunbus stop and Taxi rank at Place d'Ile de Beaute.
