Whitewashed and compact, this fuss-free apartment is the perfect base from which to explore the dazzling French Riviera. Inside, parquet, rattan and tufts of pampas combine to create a relaxing living space – curl up on the loveseat with a coffee in the mornings and a chilled glass of wine in the evenings.

Rustle up a traditional salade niçoise in the kitchen or try out a local restaurant if you’d prefer to leave it to the professionals. Spend golden afternoons stretched out on Voilier Beach, less than a five-minute walk away, before strolling down the Promenade des Anglais with an ice cream in hand. Mosey into the old town for its jumble of narrow cobblestone streets, pastel-hued buildings and artisanal shops. In the early evening, admire the masterpieces in the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum, then head up to Castle Hill for a knockout sunset.
