The charming and historic city of Antibes was founded by the Greeks circa 500 B.C., and then became part of the Roman Empire around 150 B.C. The old portion of the city, which is two blocks to the east of the apartment, is still partially surrounded by magnificent 17th century ramparts. The apartment is located in the most convenient part of Antibes, and makes a perfect home base from which to explore the City itself, and also (on either day trips or overnight stays) to explore the entire Cote d'Azur, Provence, Monte Carlo and Northern Italy. Cannes and Nice are only minutes away by bus or car.

The apartment consists of 3 bedrooms, one of which has a queen-sized bed and an en suite bathroom, with the other 2 bedrooms each having 2 twin beds. All bedrooms have French doors leading to either the front or rear balconies. Other rooms include a living room, a kitchen, a dining area, a second bathroom and a separate W.C. Furnishings are a tasteful mix of Provençal antiques and contemporary pieces. There is an underground parking garage, with a private garage door securing the apartment's enclosed parking space.
