Holiday Rentals in Cote d'Azur - A Guide to Cote d'Azur
Cote d’Azur holiday rentals are situated right down in the far south-eastern corner of France. In English, the area is more commonly known as the French Riviera, and is most well known for it’s exclusive resorts of Nice, Cannes and St Tropez. The Cote d’Azur borders Italy to the east and forms the whole border with the Principality of Monaco in the south, whilst bordering Provence to the east.
The A80 runs roughly east - west through the whole region, connecting Nice in the east to Aix-en-Provence out to the west, passing through Cannes and passing near to St Tropez, so wherever you are thinking of choosing your holiday rentals in Cote d’Azur, you’re sure to be able to reach a large selection of resorts with ease.
Since the region is on the south coast of France, you are almost guaranteed your holiday rentals in Cote d’Azur will be near to the Mediterranean Sea and all the sunshine that compliments it.
If you decide to fly to the region, the main airport is Nice, which can be accessed from all over Europe and is indeed the airport that services Monaco too. Alternatively, Marseilles airport is to the west of the region, which is just as accessible from all the major European centres.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Cote d'Azur
The majority of the property here is 1 and 2 bedroom apartments to rent in Cote d’Azur, sleeping 2 to 4 people. These are mainly in the Cannes and Nice areas where land is very expensive. These properties tend to be very well presented, in keeping with the atmosphere of wealth in the area, and account for around a third of all the Cote d’Azur holiday rentals. There are a fair number of larger 3 bedroom apartments available in the region, sleeping up to 6 people, should you require one.
When thinking about your holiday rentals in Cote d’Azur, remember that the region is not all about the sun, sand and money. There are many villas to rent in Cote d’Azur, often out of town, and a fair number of houses to rent in Cote d’Azur, again generally away from the main tourist resorts. From here, you can explore the beauty of the rest of the region, which is full of vineyards, orchards and olive groves, yet still bathed in plenty of sunshine for most of the year.
