About this property

L'ART DES AMIS- deluxe penthouse with south-facing terrace/ Musiciens/ Nice

L'Art des amis (the art of friends) is a beautiful one-bedroom penthouse apartment on the 6th floor (7th U.S.) with a large south-facing terrace of a beautiful Art Deco building in the Musicians Quarter in central Nice, 5 blocks off the beach, directly behind the Negresco Hotel. Step into the antique cage elevator and be swept up to a romantic vacation escape you will never forget! Facing south, warm sunlight floods the apartment from morning till sunset. French doors in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom open onto balconies where you will enjoy the breezes and rooftop views towards the sea. (That French flag you see fluttering in the distance tops the Negresco.) The art of personal friends is featured throughout.

Remodeled to bring it closer in feeling to the architecture of the Art Deco period, the apartment features wood flooring in the living room and bedrooms and period tile set in the entry and kitchen. Step through the French door onto to balcony and enjoy petit déjeuner in the sun at your café table for two. Dishes, glassware, flatware, coffee makers, and kitchen utensils are all provided should you choose to try your hand at Niçois cooking. The living room features a black George Nelson-inspired couch for 3 and a comfortable modern 'lipstick' armchair. Flat screen TV, cable television, and WiFi provided. The glass coffee table design is by Isamu Noguchi (1948), end tables by Eileen Gray (1927), and glove table lamp by Wilhem Wagenfeld (1924.)

I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 week stay. Everything you need for a long stay is available. The apartment location is outstanding and the building very quiet. Frankie and Don are very responsive to any questions you may have and have clearly made this a home away from home. I have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Great pied-a-terre in Nice
My daughter and I spent a wonderful week in Nice and loved the apartment. It is in a beautiful neighborhood with shops and restaurants close by and most everything is within walking distance but the tram is also not far. The apartment is beautifully decorated, is very comfortable and has everything you could need in the kitchen. We went in January and were able to sit on the balcony for breakfast and in the afternoon. It was very hard to leave! I would definitely stay there again.

Idyllic Nice stay
The apartment was wonderful and even better than the pictures. The decor and artwork, every detail was wonderful. Having the terraces was also such a treat and relaxing in the sun reading my book was perfect. The surrounding streets were lovely and a perfect location which was so quiet and felt safe but few minutes walk to supermarkets, tram line, restaurants and fabulous patisseries. In 5-8 mins you were walking along the promenade to central Nice and lits of bars andcrestaurants. Any communication was responded to quickly and key pick up was so easy as well. We loved our stay and would def go back and stay here.

Fantastic apartment clean and spacious. Close to Alsace Lorraine tram. Also just outside the door the 38 bus - a little electric number - will take you to to the port or old town. There are a number if grocery stores nearby and a large Casino left on Gambetta a few blocks towards Promenade Des Anglais. The closer Casino does not open Sundays.

About the host

Hosted by Don Corliss and Franklin Reed

Host profile image
We live in Seattle, Washington USA and when we are here, we are dreaming about our next visit to Nice. We are avid francophiles and do our French lessons everyday. Don is a retired pharmacist and Frankie is a retired accountant. This is our personal pied-à-terre and we enjoy being able to share it with renters and friends. We love art, culture, and travel. Don grew up in the Pacific Northwest and was introduced to Europe and world when he served in the US Air Force as a captain after finishing pharmacy school at the University of Washington. Frankie grew up mostly in Texas, being a "son of a gunner" of a B-52. His dad was originally from Texas and that is where his father decided to retire. He had a love for languages in high school, but thought studying accountancy had more practical career options-not sure if that was true. He studied accountancy at the University of Texas at Arlington. Frankie fell in love with Seattle on a 1989 visit there during a choral convention and eventually moved to Seattle in 1997. Frankie & Don met while singing in the Seattle Men's Chorus. Frankie finished his career up before retirement being the Director of Finance for the Seattle Choruses.

Why they chose this property

Angels brought us to our 'dream in the sky!' Our finder Rebecca Russell was one (www.coteabode.com) and the Niçois selling agent the other. His name was Ange (angel in French) and he flew up the 7 flights of stairs to meet us there while we went up in the caged elevator. He had wings, because he met us at the top when the elevator arrived. We were captivated by the apartment's charm and views. You just know when it's right!

What makes this property unique

180 degree rooftop views and centrally located to walk to every area of Nice in minutes. Close to the beach. Close to the grocery store. Close to a large park. Close to local restaurants. Peaceful neighborhood. Charming caged elevator and old-world charm. Seriously, what's not to love!
