Charming and Characterful One Bed, Superb Central Location Old Town Nice

Sitting in the lounge window of Santa Lucia gives a lovely aspect towards Place Rosetti and its church one way, and a stunning view to the old town buildings the other. Santa Lucia is in a superb location in the very heart of the Old Town of Nice, a short walk from the beach, Cours Saleya and Place Rosetti. At night you can sit under the window, perhaps enjoying a glass of locally produced rose wine, whilst listening to the chatter in the street below. Or if you want perfect peace, just close the original shutters and double glazed windows, and the chatter fades away. Santa Lucia is a one bed, one bath apartment which has been lovingly renovated in a fresh style, whilst keeping as many of its original features as possible. The fireplace, tomette floor, doors, shutters and painted beams are all original leaving the apartment bursting with character. That said we have installed all modern amenities you would expect including a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom as well as a technology centre with international cable TV, DVD and complimentary WI-FI.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Promenade des Anglais. Enjoy features like a water park and laundry facilities. The apartment offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

This place is wonderful! Beyond just the basics, it’s got lovely decor and charm that make it feel comfortable and welcoming. My partner and I stayed for 7 nights, and it was the perfect amount of space for us. The location was fantastic as well—right in the middle of the shops, restaurants, cafes of Old Nice and just a few minutes from the beach. The tram stop was also very close, so it was easy to get to/from the train station and airport. I highly recommend this apartment and would absolutely stay again!

An absolute gem!

This wonderful apartment was very well maintained and comfortable for 2 people. You could easily sleep 3. Charm is flowing throughout the entire place. The neighborhood is unbeatable. You step out into what looks like a movie set. It is a 3 minute walk to the daily farmers market and 1 minute walk to the beach. I would not stay anywhere else when I return to Nice. The owners communicate quickly. Overall one of the best locations that I’ve stayed in!

I had a wonderful stay at this property tucked in the heart of old town Nice. It was perfect for my weekend getaway, I loved the easy walkability of the neighborhood, lots of great food options nearby, and close to the rest of Nice while feeling a world away. The host was wonderful and extremely helpful. The property was so cute and cozy, and it had everything I needed.

Le Vieux Ville

The location of this tres nicoise 2nd floor walk-up apartment is close to transportation, restaurants, the Cathedral de St. Repartate, the Palais de Justice and the very lively square.It is walking distance to the Promenade de Anglais, which is the walkway along the Mediteranean, with beach access. You can also stroll through the park on the way to Place Massena and Garabaldi Square is quite close. It's a in a great location for exploring Nice and it should be noted that it is on a pedestrian only street, which is important to know if you are ubering from the airport. The living room has nice windows and there is a couch and chairs to relax in. The kitchen has all one needs for light cooking. The Nespresso maker was very nice. The bathroom has cabinet space for all one's toiletries. The bedroom has a wardrobe with lots of hangers (always a plus!) We were in Nice during a heat wave and the two standing fans kept us comfortable with the open windows. The only drawback being the open windows at night as it is in a lively area. We used our earplugs and that mitigated the noise enough to sleep. The host's notebook was very helpful and the dining recommendations very nice. Communication was easy and questions responded to right away. Staying here was a great choice. We felt immersed in Nice culture. We can't wait to return!

The location is great, an easy walk from the bus or tram stop nearby. The fans made the late-July heat bearable. The one thing missing was a way to do my recycling that didn't involve a walk to Victor Hugo (where I knew I'd find bins).

Very French....

The appartment was perfectly situated just off the main avenue and tram route from the airport inside the old town ,an easy walk from the main tram station. The appointment is on the 2nd floor with 4 short flights of stairs to climb. You have all the items you need to enjoy your stay laid out in a typical French style although the access to the bath and wc can be a tight squeeze....a comfortable bed and plenty of hanging space . We did have some noise from building work in the block and the apartment above starting around 8.00 and people returning from the night clubs at 3 .00 so not one for the light sleepers. Overall if you are looking for a real French experience this is the place for you .

Great authentic location in the heart of the old town Nice. Little bit loud at times at night, no air conditioning in the summer, might be a bit hot for some people. My partner would have liked a full length mirror. Otherwise a wonderful spot with all the necessities included in the apartment

Bit of a Mixed Experience

We stayed at the apartment for four days in July 2023. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but your view will depend on whether you prefer (1) being in the heart of vibrant, lively Nice old town or (2) having a quiet relaxing stay. This is because the apartment is not air-conditioned and we were there during some very hot weather, so that we had to keep the windows open at night. This meant that it could be very noisy. Depends on what you want!!

Amazing Stay in Nice

We loved our stay in Linda's home; the property management people were extremely responsive in their communication, and made the checkin/checkout experience very smooth. The home is in a great area, and we were able to easily get around town from the home. I would highly recommend - thanks Linda and all!

Lovely stay

Check in was easy and we found the apartment as described in the listing. It felt quite spacious and comfortable and was quiet at night. There was always plenty of hot water and all the basics were provided. The washing machine was useful. We stayed two weeks and would have appreciated a change of towels and bedding at the half way point. We also thought a couple of the pans could do with replacing. However, it was good to be able to cook using some of the excellent local produce available locally. As others have said, the apartment is ideally situated for visiting all the sights and using the fantastic public transport system in Nice. We would certainly consider staying there again if we visit Nice in the future.

A great spot in the old part of Nice.

Communication was very good with both the owner and property manager. The new washing machine didn’t work, but they tried to get it fixed. When they couldn’t, they gave me a small refund, which was very gracious. Great shops and restaurants nearby. Minutes from the beach and a close and direct walk to the stairs up to an amazing view over the city and Mediterranean. Be sure to lower the mosquito screen. I did but it must have snapped open in the night. I had a visit from a pigeon very early in the morning. Thankfully it escaped on its own, though it came very close to getting hit by the ceiling fan. It made for a few frantic moments, but we were wide awake and ready for the day after it left! Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot to experience Old Nice

We had a very comfortable stay at the Santa Lucia apartment. The host met us there and showed us the various features of the apartment, which was much appreciated. Be sure to read through the binder with more information as well. The apartment was fairly large and well-equipped. It is two floors above street level, which was perfect for leaving the windows open to listen to the sounds of humanity in the street below. The windows are also great at blocking sound when they are closed, so the night life won't keep you from sleeping. We were able to step out of the building and within minutes be at the market, at the beach, any of about a million great restaurants in Old Nice, up Castle Hill, or on the tram or bus to make our way to museums and other destinations. It was a great experience and a great way to "discover" Nice. We loved it and can't wait to go back.

A lovely location and accommodation - old Town Nice has so much to offer and the tram from the airport for 1.5€ drops you five minutes walk from the flat. Check out the truffle Resturant and the daily markets - the walk upto the old castle or along the promenade are things to decently to do - we highly recommend.
