Serviced Apartments in Nice

Nice is the second largest French city on the Mediterranean coast after Marseille and has been a popular holiday destination for decades, if not centuries. The unofficial anthem of the city is called ‘Nice the Beautiful’ and this is certainly a fitting tribute to this beautiful city by the sea. Holiday rentals and serviced apartments in Nice are available all year round, making use of the long summers and comfortable winters.

Surprisingly, Nice has not always been a French city; up until about 150 years ago it was actually an Italian town, and is still only about 30 kilometres from the Italian border. It is for this reason that Nice has a somewhat multinational feel to it; with plenty of Italians living in the city, as well as Algerians who have made their way across the sea. A day trip to Italy from your Nice serviced apartment is certainly possible, either by train or hire car.

Many people are also surprised to learn that Nice is one of the oldest known human settlements in Europe, and indeed the world. A famous archaeological site called Terra-Amata is situated just outside of Nice and there are some wonderful museums dedicated to the city's history. Nice city centre (center) apartments also give you access to fantastic art galleries celebrating such local favourites as Matisse, Marc Chagall and Arman.

The cuisine found in Nice restaurants is an interesting blend of local delicacies and internationally inspired dishes also. Olive oil and anchovies seem to be a favourite with the locals in dishes such as Pissaladière (a type of tart) and salade niçoise (a salad topped with eggs, anchovies and olives). Alternatively, on a night out from a Nice short stay apartment, try a restaurant with a more international flavor, with Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and North African influences.

For one of the best views of the Nice beach, take a stroll along the Promenade des Anglais (Promenade of the English) a promenade on the seafront. The promenade assumed this name in the early days of Nice as a tourist destination, as the English were one of the first nationalities to flock to the area. Wherever your choice of apartment rental in Nice, access to the beach should be relatively simple, and there is more than one promenade to enjoy.

It is hardly surprising that Nice is such a popular tourist destination, with lots of history, the beautiful seafront and serviced accommodation available.
