Riviera at its Best: Elegantes und außergewöhnliches 5-Sterne-1BR mit Strand + Pool

very nice apartment

very nice apartment

This splendid one-bedroom apartment on the Plage de Salis, one of two major beaches in Antibes, has been a singular discovery. The apartment is open and airy during the warm months, and at all times the light shoots through the apartment. However, plenty of doors can close it off to create separate rooms that provide privacy for multiple guests. As others have noted, it is very close to Vieil Antibes, a quick and easy walk, and the newer shopping areas, but it is far enough to offer solitude and quiet during the evening hours. A navette stops every half hour outside the apartment and provides quick access to the bus terminal which straddles the older and newer parts of Antibes. One of my favorite restaurants La Romarin is nearby as is the popular patisserie l'Illette. A well regarded restaurant is attached to the building; it overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. One balcony is an asset. Two full balconies, one for the morning and the other for the evening, makes for an embarrassment of riches. Diana, the owner, is a gracious, honest, energetic, and funny host. She will do what she can to make your stay comfortable and fun.

This is a comfortable apartment in a nice location just steps from the shore and a short walk into the old town. The host, Diana, couldn’t have been more responsive and helpful. If you come with a car and aren’t used to the very tight parking garages in France, be forewarned. After one attempt to maneuver our small car in the garage, we gave up and parked on the street—and that posed no problem at all. Always plenty of spaces. We would definitely rent this place again. Thanks, Diana.

This comfortable apartment is located one block back from the sandy beach which made it so convenient to go for a refreshing swim each day. The medieval town of Antibes is just 15 minutes walk away where we enjoyed the famous French culture of fresh food markets, croissants, wine and cheese and charming architecture.

The apartment was spacious, well equipped ,well maintained along with an excellent location 50 m from the wonderful plage de la Salis. Excellent host. Absolutely merits a return stay. Highly recommended.

The apartment is much bigger than it looks In the photos so we had more than enough space for our little family of three. The location is perfect with a short walk Into old town and the beach literally over the road. I can’t recommend this place enough and we will definitely be looking to use this place again. Thank you so much for everything.

The apartment is beautiful, spacious, spotless and had everything neccessary for a longer stay. The location was great too: 30 meters away from the beach, a short walk to Antibes old town and close to all transport links. Thank you, Diana, we'll surely come back again!

Thanks to generous help from the owner Diana and the landlady Valerie a problem with leakage of water in the zink was very fast fixed. We called Valerie and the same day she visited us to see what was the problem. Se contacted the owne and the next day Valerie came with a plummer and installed a new and very high quality tap. The problem was excellent solved and we had a lovely week in Antibes thanks to Diana and Valerie!.

On arrival, we were met by Valérie. A nice lady who gave us the keys and gave us the information regarding apartment etc. Gave us a bottle of wine and some lovely fruit, nice gesture. Apartment well equipped and comfortable. Location perfect, walking distance to restaurants and bars. Beach bang across the road, result. Of course, there is also a pool at the apartments. Great communication from the owner. Highly recommend.

My wife and I spent a week at the apartment from September 15th to September 21st 2017. The apartment is spacious, well furnished, and clean. The listing description is totally accurate. It is located within a few steps of the beach “Plage de Salis” yet it is quiet and peaceful. There is a large screen TV with many French and foreign channels, as well as free WIFI service. There is a pool available on the ground floor level. There are several restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Visiting Old Antibes, where streets are for pedestrian traffic only is very enjoyable with its many restaurants, cafes, and excellent pastry shops. We also took a short trip to Cagnes to visit the Renoir museum which was Renoir's home for the last 12 years of his life. The beautiful estate contains many paintings and sculptures by the artist as well as details and photographs about his family and life. We enjoyed two very good meals at Au Bord du Cap, a restaurant around the front of the building facing the sea. Also there is a shuttle bus that stops near the beach if you wish to visit the old town of Antibes without driving. The owner Diana Shenk speaks fluently multiple languages including English and French, she is very pleasant and helpful before and after arrival. Also madame Moine greeted us upon arrival and showed us all the amenities of the apartment. We had a minor problem with the kitchen sink not draining properly and the owner quickly made arrangements to have a plumber fix that issue. An underground garage is available on the 2nd level with the apartment, but it is more suitable if you own or rent a small or compact car. There is also some parking on the street, and a parking lot with Parco meters adjoining the Plage de Salis. All in all we had a wonderful time in the Antibes area while staying at this very comfortable and well located apartment and would recommend it highly. John T. Orlando, Florida USA

My husband and I stayed in Diana's apartment in Antibes for a month during September and October. The apartment was very secure and had everything we needed for an extended stay including a well stocked kitchen, large refrigerator, nice linens, very comfortable bed, WiFi, flat screen tv, music CDs, and a washing machine. The location is excellent for seeing all of the sights while having a quiet and spacious place to return to each day. The apartment is right across the street from the beach with a fabulous patisserie a block away. Even in warm weather the apartment was cool with excellent cross ventilation. We could not have been more pleased and loved it so much we are returning again next year! Diana was very helpful in providing us with information from the minute we booked the apartment and was very responsive to any requests we had. We highly recommend this property.

My husband and I spent 11 days in with lovely apartment. Valerie could not have been more welcoming on our arrival. Apartment location perfect for the beach, Antibes itself and all transport links. Private pool a bonus just to cool down after a hot day on the beach. Apartment airy and spacious. We would definitely plan a return stay in the future.

My husband and I have stayed in this apartment at least four times over the past five years. It is our "home away from home." It is very well appointed with a comfortable bed and pull out sleeper, high quality linens, very nice furniture and a kitchen with all we have ever needed. Also, it is very clean and safe. It has two balconies which means the sea breezes cool the apartment even on the warmest days. It is near good shopping, good restaurants, an excellent patisserie, close to Old Town, and right across the street from a sandy beach with a fabulous view of the Mediterranean. The owner is very responsive and will be helpful from the beginning of your trip to the end. We highly recommend this apartment and will return again and again.

My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week stay at Diana’s beautiful apartment. Antibes is an excellent location to launch other day trips along the Riviera, but this apartment also boasts an ideal spot steps from the beach and the amazing sights/shops/restaurants of the old historic centre. We were greeted upon our arrival by the kindest, most pleasant manager (Valerie) and the apartment was spotless. I would love to come back to Antibes and stay in Diana’s perfect apartment in January or February when the crowds are likely thinner, but in this apartment, you cannot go wrong in any month of the year. Thank you very much Diana and Valerie!

J’adore l’appartement de Diana ! For three years now during the winter months, I have stayed in Diana’s apartment in Antibes. Would I return if I did not like it? In fact, I have already spoken to her about returning next year. Most visitors spend their time in Antibes, which is a short walk, maybe 15 minutes, from La Plage de la Salis (the beach) and her apartment to the center of town. However, I recommend also walking the other way to Juan-les-Pins. It is the same distance. There you will find a more expansive beach, more restos along and on the beach, a wonderful café called the Café de la Plage, my favorite cafe spot, where you can wile away the hours looking at the Mediterranean Sea and the sunset, if you go later into the afternoon, of course. You don’t want to walk anywhere? You want to kick back, read, get a sun tan, and not have to fuss with finding a restaurant. No problem. Her apartment is a half block from the sandy beach. In the same building on the corner and across from the beach is an excellent restaurant with a chef who worked once in a starred restaurant. On another corner is a pizza place. A short walk away (5 minutes) is a pastry and sandwich place and next to it is one of my favorite restaurants in Antibes, Le Romarin. Go to the beach, get a sun tan, take a step or two to the resto, eat a wonderful meal, return to the beach and catch a few more rays. Not bad for a vacation. My other favorite part of staying in Diana’s apartment, apart from the many, many restaurants in Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, is the public transportation system. It is so easy to take the little navette #14, which stops at the apartment building, to the train station, and then to hop a train to Nice or Monaco or Italy or to go the other direction to Cannes or to Saint Raphael and catch a boat to St Tropez. I have been comfortable in the apartment. It has a full kitchen, two full balconies, shiny marble floors that are very cool during the hot summers months, wall sized windows that can open to let the breeze blow through the rooms. Diana has done an excellent job of making the apartment a very desirable place to stay on the Riviera.

Host and manager stayed in touch begin to departure. Again lovely experience in Provence

Diana'a apartment is in a great location.It's just 2 minutes across the road to the beach.It is a lovely 20 minute walk around the headland to Antibes with great viewpoints-there is also a bus available every 30 minutes for 1 euro to travel into Antibes.It ia also in a great position to walk to Juan les Pins and around the Cap d'Antibes.We used the train from Antibes to travel to Nice,Cannes,Grasse.The train service was punctual and reasonably priced. The apartment has everything needed for your stay .It was lovely to have a balcony at the front and one at the back to enjoy the sun at all times and the canopies which could cover the balconies were helpful for shade when it was very hot.There was a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine to welcome us which we really appreciated. Diana was very helpful when we booked and before we travelled giving us travel advice.Valerie was very helpful when we arrived at the apartment explaining how everything worked and showing us the pool. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.

Amazing location!!!! Right across from a sandy beach and walking distance to Many sights. Diane was wonderful to work with. Valerie checked us in and went above and beyond to get us set up in the apartment. Thanks for sharing your apartment!! Mary
