Villas and Apartments in Nice

Nice captures the effortless elegance of the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) – sunlit promenades, pastel façades and sweeping views across the Baie des Anges. From the iconic Promenade des Anglais to the cobbled lanes of Vieux Nice and the flower-filled Cours Saleya market, the city blends Mediterranean ease with cultural depth. Art, music and cuisine shape daily life, while the sea provides a constant, glittering backdrop.

Explore our curated collection of villas in Nice, including stylish villas with pools and spacious family villas, alongside chic apartments perfect for city stays. You can also discover more across the wider South of France for a Riviera escape that balances beach days with cultural discovery. Whatever you do, it’s best enjoyed from an Oliver’s Travels villa.

Nice offers year-round appeal, with over 300 days of sunshine and a calendar filled with cultural highlights. The famous Nice Carnival brightens February with parades and flowers, while summer evenings hum with open-air concerts and long dinners by the sea. At Christmas, twinkling markets bring warmth and festivity to the Old Town.

Days here are best spent outdoors. Stroll the Promenade des Anglais, swim in clear Mediterranean waters or climb to Colline du Château for panoramic views across terracotta rooftops and harbour yachts. Art lovers can explore the Musée Matisse or the Marc Chagall National Museum, both testament to the region’s enduring creative pull.

Cuisine reflects Nice’s unique heritage, blending French and Italian influences. Expect socca from market stalls, fresh seafood, pissaladière, salade niçoise and chilled rosé enjoyed beneath striped awnings. Staying in a private villa or apartment allows you to dip into city life before retreating to your own terrace or pool – a rare luxury in such a vibrant setting.
