Charming villa close to the tram, a 20-min walk from the Chagall Museum.

Inviting, minimalist rooms all rock a cheery, modern print wallpaper behind the bed.

Short stroll to the beaches via the Old Town, even shorter stroll to the best shopping streets.

Unabashedly retro on the outside, Zen-inspired modern vibe inside.

Steps from the train station and a 15-min jaunt from the stroll-worthy Promenade des Anglais.

Less than 2 km from Promenade des Anglais, and only a block from the tram if you’re not up for a stroll.

An easy stroll gets ya to the Gare de Nice-Ville station (adventure) or to the beach (relaxing). The real question: which first?

Classic building and flowery/fountainy setting make this the perfect hideaway. Gorgeous garden is lit at night if you’re still lingering over drinks.

With understated shades, clean lines and a dash of colour to liven things up.

Onsite GourmetBar has great burgers and other tasty eats.

Tweet, post, pin and ‘gram with reckless abandon. Thank you, free WiFi.

Right by the airport so you can spend time on more important things (like catching some extra z's).

There’s a cosy li’l courtyard pool, but with the beach within walking distance you might not even need it.

All sorts of cute right in the middle of the village.

The airport is only 5 min away via free shuttle (oui!).

Nestled in the mountains around Nice (read: stunning views and tranquility), but the buzz of the city is a short drive away.

Grab the reins, jockey: you'll be snug right between the glittering sea and the passion of the racetrack.
