Vintage chic on the Cote d’Azur
This small, laid-back hotel in Thiers, aka the Musicians’ Quarter, brings cool vintage vibes to a low-key neighbourhood. It’s just a three-minute walk from the Gare de Nice Ville station and a 15-minute walk to the old town.
The buffet breakfast has a sweet and savoury option to linger over, but if you’re hot-footing it out of the hotel to explore, you’ve got an express option, too, with coffee, a couple of pastries, and a yoghurt to take with you. When you get back, you can kick back in the hotel’s lounge, which has a vintage feel, and choose one of the books or board games.
The rooms feel like you could be staying in a mate’s cool industrial-inspired flat, and while they’re modestly sized, they’re cleverly designed to maximise the space. But the streets of Nice are calling, so don’t be surprised if you spend way more time out of the hotel than in.

Find out more about Nice Ville
Start your holiday on the Promenade des Anglais, a picturesque seafront boulevard lined with palm trees that offers spectacular views of the Baie des Anges. Feeling adventurous? Take a stroll up to Castle Hill for panoramic views of the city and the sea, or explore the narrow streets of the Old Town, where you’ll find colourful buildings, charming shops, and lively markets.
When hunger calls, head to a traditional brasserie to sample French specialities like freshly caught seafood, ratatouille, and the famous Niçoise salad. Pair it all with a glass of local rosé for the full Mediterranean experience.
If you’re a history enthusiast, don’t miss a visit to the Musée Matisse, located in a 17th-century villa and dedicated to the works of the renowned artist Henri Matisse. The museum is set in the beautiful Cimiez neighbourhood, which is also home to Roman ruins and a tranquil park.
For nature lovers, the area around Nice is crisscrossed with picturesque hiking trails that wind through the hills and offer stunning views of the coastline. These paths provide not only incredible scenery but also moments of tranquillity away from the busier city streets. Along the way, keep your camera handy – whether it’s a panoramic view of the Mediterranean or the vibrant local flora, there’s no shortage of photo opportunities.
Whether you’re a sun worshipper, a foodie, or an adventurer, Nice Ville delivers a slice of paradise with a generous helping of French elegance.
