Magnificent villa with breathtaking views of Nice

Marco’s place was just as pictured; absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the breathtaking views. The house accommodated us exceptionally well, sits in a quiet neighborhood, and is outfitted with everything you need. We will definitely stay again the next time we are in Nice.

Off-season on the French Riviera is, for many, the best time to be in Nice, France. Especially if you can arrange a stay at Marco Ferrero’s spacious contemporary home, with three comfortably appointed bedrooms, two large bathrooms, and an expansive, well-stocked chef-enviable kitchen. But most unforgettable are the breathtaking views from multi-tiered terraces, each level teeming with fragrant herbs, orange trees and blooming, exotic succulents. Each perspective offers another view of legendary Nice, a city carved within mountain rock, cradling a coastal arc of the Mediterranean Sea. These settings, perfect for meditation and yoga sessions are likewise equipped with dining tables and lounge furniture, perfect for intimate dining or socializing with friends. The house is less than an hour’s drive from Cannes, Monaco and the Italian border. The January weather was crisp and sunny enough for us to enjoy walks along the beach, and comfortable strolls through the ancient towns of Eze, Saint Paul de Vence, and Menton, all unimpeded by throngs of summer tourists. The same is true for the area’s iconic museums, where you can often find yourself alone within inches of your favorite works by Matisse, Miró, Picasso, Chagall and Leger. You will likewise find restaurants and shops welcoming, un-rushed and indulgent. And Marco is indeed a gracious, meticulous host, a new friend who makes you want to return to this special speck of paradise.

The property was incredible! Better than the images can show. The host was fabulous and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. The house was stocked with everything we needed including coffee and madeleines. The home was clean and immaculately cared for. The property itself is … wow! What a place. 5 star! This home made our Nice trip really something special. Thank you Marco!

We travelled to Nice by car and Marco's house couldn't have been more perfect. The view over Nice was spectacular & the house itself is gorgeous. Lovely bedrooms & bathrooms & the best equipped kitchen we've ever seen. Lots of outdoor seating areas all on different levels & a covered outdoor kitchen / dining area that we used a lot. The host Marco & his family were fabulous & made us feel so welcome & in fact told us to treat their home as our home for the week. They couldn't have been more helpful, making suggestions for things to do, beaches, bars and restaurants & the Brasserie 10 mins walk away was fab. We had a great time there & would love to return. Thank you Marco
