The property is in a spectacular location overlooking "Port Lympia" and Baie des Anges. Think of a very spacious cabin in a cruise liner and it will give you a sense of what it feels like when in the apartment or on the terrace. There are no roads, no pathways separating you from the sea that laps against the foot of the building. Walk out in your swimsuit, down the steps among the rocks and step into the sea a few yards away.
The apartment was recently refurbished and expanded from 2 to 4 bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms. It has amazingly large windows with modern electric blinds and shutters that let you regulate temperature and privacy. You can dine indoor or on the terrace. The apartment is fully air-conditioned or heated as required. There is a master bedroom with a king-size bed, another double master suite with a queen-size double bed, and another two double bedroom suites, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds. All bedrooms have en suite marble shower rooms with WC. So it sleeps 8 people very comfortably. There is an extra guest WC. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped, and everything is there even if you are a serious cook. The apartment comes fully equipped with all linen.
The building itself dates from 1959 and has a car park on the roof top, at street level. Our apartment comes with one parking space, for a small car. It occupies the entire top floor and has 180 degree views of the sea and Baie des Anges. It is one level below the roof top that you can reach using the stairs or the lift. The building is in good shape and has been well maintained over the years but anyone who owns a boat will know that the sea is not kind to paint and decoration. As a result, there are always a few items in the building that could do with some sprucing up but our apartment is in tip top condition. The Mont Boron Carrefour supermarket is walking distance, (and delivers within 2 hours) as are restaurants and shops near the Port. A shopping cart is available in the apartment if you are ambitious as the walk to the supermarket is a good climb uphill.
There is a big flat screen TV with French and international channels and broadband WiFi.
The old town is a 25 mn walk away. I regularly go jogging on the Promenade, 45mn to the Negresco Hotel and back.
