From the owner

High amidst the rooftops of baroque Old Nice, with an amazing dawn-to-dusk southern exposure, sits The Swallows Nest. From this immaculate apartment you can see views from the Château gardens to the green-and-gold stucco of the Cathedral directly opposite and across Place Rossetti.

Renovated in 2021 with walls painted in the palest pistachio to complement Nice's vibrant architectural tradition, this fully equipped holiday home has a spacious kitchen with dining table ; a working / reading space with two large windows, and a sleeping area. There is a Queen-size bed, a desk and a wardrobe. Your view from the bedroom window to the Cathedral is breathtaking. The building is historically listed, so air-conditioning units are prohibited, but the through-draft from the open windows and overhead fan in the bedroom are wonderful even in the height of summer.

On a really hot day keep the windows open but the curtains and shutters closed!

STAIRS

***Super important note!

To feel on top of the world you have to CLIMB stairs!

The Swallows’ Nest is high above the roofs of medieval Nice, on the 6th floor.

There are virtually no elevators in Old Nice, so sadly if you find stairs difficult, this wonderful hideaway is not for you. If you're checking your 10,000 steps this will be PERFECT!

LOCAL CHARGES

*** Please note the charge of € 60 payable through the HL site.

This is inclusive of: welcoming you at the apartment, running through how everything works, giving you keys: help by phone during your stay if needed: supply of clean bed linen and towels: beach towels/umbrella/beach mat: check-out cleaning costs.

*** Please be aware of late arrival charges for arrivals after 20.00 - € 50 ***

SORRY! NO CHECK-INS AFTER 23h.

***Please note too the French legal requirement for a Taxe de Sejour to be charged per night for rentals on internet platforms like Holiday Lettings, this is 3% of the nightly charge per person and payable direct to your hosts before you arrive in Nice!

***LONG STAYS and the ENERGY CRISIS. For monthly stays, it's fair you pay for what you use, so we'll take a meter reading at the start and end of your stay. We found it more transparent than adding a guessed amount to your monthly rate. This will be paid direct to your hosts after your stay.

PARKING

Due to it’s fabulous setting, nestled in the narrow streets of Vieux Nice, there is NO parking offered at the Swallows Nest, but you can park at Cours Saleya or other public street parking. Searching for free parking in Nice, can lead you to find street parking a wee bit further out with a stroll back into the old town.

FURNISHING DETAILS

The kitchen has both an oven and microwave, fridge-freezer and ample equipment for the cook within you. If you don’t always want to eat out, you have the most wonderful market with fresh local produce just a 5 minute stroll away. There’s private Wi-Fi and an MP3 CD player with a USB port, there’s no TV so you can truly unwind! The bathroom has a shower. There’s a ceiling fan for summer and a solid wall-mounted radiator for winter visitors. The front door is a security door.
