As well as being full of history and sights, the old town is the vibrant heart of the city of Nice, packed with numerous restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs. It is always busy and seldom sleeps. It is not just a tourist area. It is always full of locals who come to spend their leisure time and do their shopping in the market and food shops. Staying in this studio, everything is close at hand.
The studio is on the 2nd floor of a historical building, one of the few palaces in old Nice. It was built by the Caïs family of Gilette, one of the oldest and most powerful families of the Nice nobility who from the 11th century, provided numerous soldiers, magistrates and consuls to Nice. The palace was looted and confiscated during the French Revolution.
There is no lift in the building, but the stairs are wide and access is easier than most buildings in the old town.
Guest access
The entire studio is available to guests.
Other things to note
There is no lift in the building.
There are a number of bars below in the street and so this is not a quiet area. There is a bustling night-life which continues until around 2am.
If you are looking for a quiet place to stay, the old town of Nice is not for you :)
The mezzanine level upstairs is not suitable for very small children who may attempt to climb over the ballustrades.
The upstairs area is for relaxing and sleeping only.
