	16 rue Dante, 2nd Floor Apartment,Nice Our Five Star Apartment with two double bedrooms to accommodate 2 to 4 people This gracious "belle époque" apartment building - with its beautiful façade, balconies, louvred shutters to all windows, handsome solid front doors, marble staircase, wrought-iron and mahogany "Edwardian" lift and high ceilings - would grace the very smartest Parisian street. This is a real "town" apartment, yet situated just two blocks (less than 200 metres) from the Promenade des Anglais and the beaches, and just 400 metres from the famous Negresco Hotel and the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire (Palais Massena) in one direction and the Musée des Beaux Arts at the same distance in the other direction. All the attractions of Nice are within walking distance and no fewer than 8 bus routes pass the door - a car is definitely not necessary.
You enter the building into a marble floored hall with ornate ceilings and either walk up the marble staircase or take the charming lift to the second floor. You enter the apartment through tall double doors. This is a very spacious, light and sunny apartment with high ceilings and generous sized rooms. There is a hall with double doors to one side, giving access to the large, south-facing lounge with an elegant dining area (some 28m² or 300 sq. ft). There are two pairs of full length french windows - one pair has an ornate wrought-iron balustrade balconnette facing the street, the other pair giving access to a balcony overlooking the street. There is a CD/cassette player/radio and a television, should you have time to watch it! All the furniture and furnishings throughout the apartment are in the Louis XVI style and there are chandeliers in every room - even the kitchen and the bathroom! Also from the hall, to the other side, there are again double doors into Bedroom One, which is spacious and elegant. There are twin-linked beds with separate mattresses, which can therefore be separated if you wish. Full-length windows with a wrought-iron balustrade/balconette give a view over a well-maintained "cour" (inner courtyard). There is plenty of wardrobe space.
Because the apartment is what the French call "traversant" (running from the front of the building through to the back) you have light from the south and north and through-air - very important on hot days and nights. Bedroom 2, again accessed from the hall and south facing, has full-length windows and an ornate, wrought-iron balustrade/balconette. There is a very comfortable sofa bed which, unusually, is designed to give either a single bed or two separate single beds, or by placing the 2 singles side by side, a double bed can be made. There is again a large wardrobe. There is a separate toilet with wash hand basin and a large, well-fitted bathroom with bath and shower facility and wash hand basin. Both the toilet and the bathroom can be accessed without disturbing the other occupants. The kitchen is typically French and with room for everyone to sit for breakfast. There is a brand new fridge, cooker, microwave, electric kettle, toaster and cafétière and washing machine/dryer. Like our other apartments, there is also central heating, if you should ever need it. This apartment is a very elegant home-from-home and is beautifully furnished and extremely well-equipped to the same very high standard as our other apartments. We believe that you should enjoy the same high standards when you are on holiday as you have the rest of the year when you are in your own home. "The apartment was exactly as you had described and a real home from home - everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves - we greatly enjoyed its elegance and airiness - this will be the first visit of many..."
