About this property

Stunning Sea View Apt on the Ramparts in the Old Town of Antibes

In a unique location with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, mountains, sandy beach, Fort Carré and Port Vauban, you’ll experience a magical atmosphere here for your holiday. We affectionately call the apartment 'Place de Rêves' (Place of Dreams) as the building’s entrance is just off the ‘Place de Revely’ in the Old Town of Antibes. It is on the 3rd (top) floor in the building next to the former home of the artist Nicolas de Staël and has Air Conditioning throughout the apartment as well as 2 balconies, 1 in the bedroom and 1 off the living room. The bedroom is with a king-sized bed (160 x 200cm) and there is a large sofa bed (170 x 200cm) in the living room. The sunny and spacious living room comes equipped with a Roland digital piano overlooking the marina. Best of all, the Mediterranean Sea lies just outside so the views are quite stunning !

The apartment is located a one-minute walk through the Place de Revely and under the Roman arch of the Old City wall to the famous market called the ‘Marché Provençal’ where you’ll find fresh local produce. Within a few meters is the world acclaimed Picasso Museum where he worked in the 1940s and where you’ll find a stunning collection of his paintings and ceramics. Picasso painted his "La Joie de Vivre" in Antibes in 1946. Today, Antibes still embodies The Joy of Life.

Possibly the most perfectly-situated apartment in Antibes, you’ll find a large choice of restaurants, shops, and cafes within easy walking distance (2 minutes or less!). The apartment provides an ideal setting for a car-less vacation on the French Riviera. We can provide for pick-up and drop-off at Nice (NCE) Airport if needed at an extra charge.

The fantastic views make the open plan kitchen/living room/dining area a natural gathering area for relaxing, and cooks will appreciate the well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen includes an electric oven, electric cooker with glass hob, microwave, fridge with freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer combo, Nespresso machine, milk frother and coffee presses (cafetières) in two sizes. All fittings are high quality and the kitchen will have everything you need to cook fine food at home.

Whether you're lingering over a pain au chocolat and coffee on the balcony table-for-2 for breakfast or you’re proudly serving dinner made from fresh Provençal ingredients you purchased at the market on the dining table (seats 6), you’ll enjoy the ever changing views of the Mediterranean below.

The well-appointed bathroom has a shower, tub and towel warmer.

For exploring further afield, the apartment is a 10-minute walk to trains/buses to Cannes, Nice, Monaco, and the Nice airport. Ski resorts in the Alps are located within a 1.5-2 hour drive (Isola 2000 & Auron).

Your rental includes an "arrival starter kit" (toilet paper, paper towel roll, soap, coffee, tea, milk, wine and water), cleaning (for a 2 guest rental, a one-time fee of £50.00 will be added for 3 or more guests / if linens for the pull out couch are needed), bed linen, towels, beach towels & beach gear, electricity, water, WiFi, and phone calls to fixed lines in most parts of the world (Europe, Continental USA and Canada) and phone calls to mobile phones in the continental USA and Canada. Please note, you will be charged from your deposit for all other calls.

Lovely stay!

We absolutely loved our stay in Antibes, especially our stay in the extraordinary apartment on the ramparts! We immediately felt at home the moment we walked in, and knew we wouldn’t want to leave. The location was among the best in Old Town Antibes. The restaurants and shops were abundant and outstanding. Provençal market was very convenient and definitely worth a stroll through. The hosts, Jonathan and Judy were very welcoming, accommodating and helpful. Their apartment is very well stocked with everything you could need and quite comfortable and cozy. And, indeed the view was stunning! We will return to this charming abode! Thank you Judy and Jonathan!

Amazing stay and wonderful hosts

We had an amazing stay at this super clean and conveniently located sea-front apartment in Antibes. The hosts Judy and Jonathan were so friendly, helpful, and informative, making us feel so welcome and at-home from the very first communication, to picking us up at the airport, showing us around the apartment at check-in, and throughout our stay. We are also Vrbo "superhosts" of a property in Hawaii, so we really appreciated how completely this property was supplied with every convenience imaginable, and great instructions and food and shopping recommendations. So many little touches that make such a bug difference. We can't wait to come back again on our next visit to Antibes! Merci beaucoup for a wonderful trip! Brent and Jeff

We had a fabulous 5 night stay here celebrating our 25th anniversary and everything was exceptional. The hosts were very kind, helpful and communicative and offered excellent recommendations. The apartment was conveniently located and very comfortable. It worked out as a very nice central home base to explore the area. You should BOOK this wonderful place. You will NOT regret it. Judy and Jonathon were excellent hosts. I am so grateful that they were willing to share their lovely apartment with us. It truly was a special place and one that we would love to return to again.

Just fantastic!

One of the best experiences we have had across our vacation stays, with our fam of 4 (2 young kids). The house, its location is better than described. Right in the center of town, a 1 min walk to a beach, and some of the most amazing sunrise and sunset views off the balcony. The house has an extremely well stocked kitchen to make some great memories. The pull out couch in the living room was very comfortable, to accomodate 2 people easily. Aircon woked v well for one of the hotter days in the area. Our kids had plenty of beach toys and games to stay entertained. Judy helped us plan our trip out, even before our arrival - and their restaurant and local tips made our stay memorable. If you're in doubt - just book this home !

Simply Amazing

We had a wonderful experience in Antibes and very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful apartment. The owners were extremely nice and had great communication with us. They greeted us when we arrived, showed us around the apartment, and shared tips on places to visit and restaurants to try. They even set up a dinner reservation for us, which was our favorite meal in Antibes. The apartment was thoughtfully equipped with everything w possible for a comfortable and convenient stay - beach stuff, plentiful towels, extra pillows and blankets, kitchenware, etc. We visited Antibes during a heatwave in August, and the apartment stayed nice and cool. We were always comfortable in the apartment! I would be remiss not to mention the location of the apartment. It was seriously perfect! The view from the balcony is amazing. You get a beautiful view of the public beach, which was well-maintained, and you can see lots of gorgeous yachts. The apartment was easy to walk to and from - from everywhere in Antibes, including the train station. My family highly recommends renting this wonderful apartment. We hope to visit Antibes again because we loved it so much, and we will definitely stay here again!

Great vacation with a rude awakening at the end

The location is a dream. The apartment is a bit small but clean and well-maintained. Upon arrival, the landlord was still setting up a new bed, which was a bit unpleasant. The handover of the clean and tidy apartment went smoothly when we left. However, there was a nasty surprise afterward. Days later, we were charged nearly 200 € for fabricated repairs (by the way, the washing machine is broken) and an allegedly dirtied apartment, which was deducted from the deposit (coincidentally the exact amount). Disappointing! It seems the hosts are in dire need of money. But in this way?

A dream place

We love France and particularly the Provence, and have spent many holidays in lovely places over the years….but this place is the most wonderful we ever had. Situated at the remparts of the old town with breathtaking views at the beach, the port, Nice and the whole eastern coastline…. you just can spend the whole day ( and evening) watching the bustling life from the balcony. The apartment is beautiful and equipped with absolutely everything you might need. Thank you so much Judy and Jonathan for taking such good care of us during our stay! You are lovely people.

The Dreamiest Location and Stay!

I don't believe I've ever had a better experience with VRBO than I have with Jonathan and Judy's property. Not only is their property the most stunning in the area, but the kind and communicative experience Jonathan and Judy were able to provide was above anything I've ever experienced. They booked restaurant reservations, beach club reservations, picked us up from the train station, gave us a ride to the Nice airport, and provided a bottle of rose upon arrival for us to enjoy on the dreamiest balcony overlooking the Mediterranean after a long travel day. I can't put into words how their attention to detail and hospitality put us international travelers at ease during our stay in Antibes. Antibes is the most charming town. The train station makes getting to other coastal towns very accessible, but I bet you'll find yourself wanting to soak up the charm of Antibes and not wanting to leave. We miss morning coffee and night caps on the balcony watching the yachts come and go. We spent 4 nights at this beautiful place, and honestly, it wasn't enough. I feel so lucky to have been able to enjoy their little slice of heaven, and I do plan to return to Jonathan and Judy's magical property in the future with at least a week stay! If you're on the fence, book it! I promise you won't regret it!

Incredible location, views, and hosts

We had a short stay in the French Rivera. Antibes was never on our radar initially (until running into this VRBO listing) but ended up being the perfect location on the French Rivera, close to everything you want to visit but away from the hectic Nice. It is beautifully located in the old town of Antibes with everything within walking distance including the marina, Picasso museum, lots of great restaurants, etc. The views of the water from the balcony every morning/day really are a wonderful thing to look at and I imagine great to swim in during warmer times. Johnathan and Judy themselves showed great hospitality with introductions and goodbyes, as well as great recommendations for restaurants. They definitely go the extra mile! Highly recommend trusting all the great reviews and stay here if you can find the availability. We left wishing we could have stayed longer and hope to return.

The View! The Location! The Helpful Host!

OK, I'm going to gush. This place was amazing. We had two more days at the end of our trip and tried to book this place because we loved it so much! But, of course, it was booked already. I was tempted to give this apartment a bad review so I can still book it in the future. But I know honesty is the best policy. The view is spectacular. It was chilly when we stayed in November so we didn't use the outside patio much. The view there is amazing but the view surrounds you when inside also. Well stocked pantry. Great appliances. Washer and dryer combo. Takes a while to complete but did a very good job. Comfy bed. Even a piano to play. Very walkable neighborhood. % minutes to the Picasso Museum. Restaurants, boulangerie, cafes all aroun. We felt right at home. The host was so helpful and communicated even though they were half way around the world. She even booked two reservations at her favorite resaturants for us. She did not lead us wrong! The second night was the best meal we have had in France or any country lately.. This host pays attention to detail. What a delight. Stay here if you get the chance.
