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 inside the pedestrian zone where rental cars & Ubers are not permitted and 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 and drive you into the pedestrian zone directly to the building 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 double sink, lighted magnifying mirror, 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.

What a beautiful location and apartment for Antibes! Everything you need is in the apartment and Judy made sure we were in need of anything. Centrally located to travel around the French Rivera and a beautiful location to enjoy your coffee and dinner out on the balcony. Highly recommend it here and we will be looking forward to our next stay!!
An amazing property with wonderful hosts! Felt right at home with so many thoughtful amenities! Easy location to explore the city if you can tear yourself away from the view!
Perfect spot to use as a base for 5 days of getting familiar with, at least, part of the French Riviera and appreciating the beauty of the Mediterranean, while chilling on ocassion. Wonderful dining, just steps away. Very kind and extremely helpful hosts!
Loved our stay in Jonathan and Judy’s apartment. It was a great location for restaurants and exploring other areas on the Riviera. We were sorry to not have more time in this area.
From arrival to departure this holiday exceeded all of our expectations our hosts Jonathon and Judy were so good there if we needed them even printing off our boarding passes for us the apartment is beautiful so close to everything and the view from the balcony out of this world if you are going to the south of France this is the place to stay
The apartment was exactly as described and the views were spectacular! The location is perfect - a quick walk to the train station, the beach, and right in the Old Town which is charming. We couldn't have asked for better hosts - Judy & Jonathan thank you so much for making our first trip to Antibes so special! We hope to be back one day!
My family had a wonderful stay at this one of a kind property. The view and location of this apartment can't be beat. The apartment itself is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. Communication before and throughout our stay was great. We hope to stay there again soon.
Stunning views, perfect location in the old town. Easy walk to market, shops, & restaurants. Train station 10 minute walk for day trips up & down the coast. We have stayed in Antibes many times and know our way around but 1st timers will find the location perfect for getting around the Côte d'Azur.
Amazing! We cannot wait to return to this beautiful home. The property itself was immaculate, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need for a perfect stay. The location was ideal, and the atmosphere made us feel instantly relaxed.What truly set this experience apart, though, were the owners. They went above and beyond to accommodate our every need and made us feel so welcomed, as if we were staying with family. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the entire trip unforgettable.I cannot recommend this property enough… a true gem, and we feel so lucky to have found it. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! See you soon guys!
The experience was a delight from beginning to end. We were greeted upon arrival by a very friendly and professional person. The accommodations were even better than expected. Beyond the wonderful view, the location was central to restaurants, shopping and the beach. It was clear that the hosts were keenly interested in making sure that we enjoyed our stay.
We have never had a holiday appartment that was so FULLY equipped. The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and reliable. But the best feature of the appartment is its wonderful sea view. You can spend hours watching the rolling waves or the cormorant fishing.
A truly spectacular, frontline property with enviable views. A perfect place to relax in comfort. The apartment is very well appointed with some lovely extra touches from the super owners. Thank you! Hope to be back...
Love
Fiona and Trevor
On returning to Antibes we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.
Restaurants on the doorstep, the market a few steps away & of course the hostess Judy who is a fountain of information.
What’s not to love😀
We had a lovely week in Judy and Jonathan’s apartment. They were very attentive to ensure everything went smoothly for our stay.
The apartment is ideally located in the historic area of Antibes with a beautiful view over the sea, marina and beach.
It was equipped with everything we needed. We would highly recommend it.
There are not enough superlatives to describe this beautiful apartment (Place of Dreams!) and the thoughtfulness and kindness of Jonathan and Judy (the hosts). They made our stay possible and provided answers quickly and efficiently to our questions. To ensure that we had a comfortable, worry free arrival experience, Jonathan even picked us up from the train station. How thoughtful and kind! The check in was detailed and informative, with an overview of the accommodations and the neighboring area. As for the apartment itself - what can we say? Absolute perfection - well appointed, comfortable, spotless and a true place of dreams, a home away from home. It was delightful in every way and the highlight of our month-long European trip. Judy and Jonathan - thank you so very much for a memorable experience! We plan to come back!!!

Another Wonderful Stay
This was our second wonderful stay in this delightful apartment and we plan to return next year. We love relaxing on the terrace, the views are stunning and it is a pleasure to watch the world go by from 'our' private haven. The living area is bright and sunny and the air-conditioned bedroom (and bathroom) mean that we were always able to sleep comfortably, even in this unusually hot summer. The location is perfect for everything that we love about Antibes old town. Judy was waiting to collect us from the airport, as arranged, and both she and Jonathan are very friendly owners who are easily contactable.
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.
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!
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.
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!

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 !
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.

Why they chose this property
There are very few properties with this location in the Old Town of Antibes looking over the sea. As we have two apartments in the Old Town, we have decided to offer this apartment for holiday lets.
What makes this property unique
Stunning panoramic sea views. Everything you would want or need within 1 minute walking distance from the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Including a sandy beach right below the living room balcony.
