While Nice first brings to mind the Promenade des Anglais, its finest villas are found on the hills. There you gain the view and the calm, without straying far from the centre.

Which neighbourhood should you choose?

  • Mont Boron: views over the sea and the port, and a large forest park.
  • Cimiez: a residential and historic neighbourhood, with the Matisse Museum and the Roman arenas.
  • Fabron: a quiet area to the west, convenient for the airport.

A year-round destination

The Carnival livens up February, the Nice Jazz Festival brings the summer to life, and the late season stays mild. It is one of the few towns on the French Riviera where a winter stay makes as much sense as a summer one.

During your stay

Don’t miss Vieux-Nice and the cours Saleya, or the view from Castle Hill. With the airport so close, a villa in Nice is also a good base for a short break.
