Apartments and Villas for sale in Nice

East of the port, stretching high into the hills for about 1.5 kilometres, Mont Boron is known as the "Hollywood" of Nice. Home to the rich and famous, these picturesque hills are full of homes owned by a multitude of stars, including Elton John - whose house can be seen from all over Nice. Most of Nice's and some of the worlds most prestige businessmen are residents of Mont Boron. Among the elegant homes overlooking the sea there is the striking "Chateau de l'Anglais", which is Oriental inspired and hosts a pink fascade.

This area has the charm of an exclusive neighbourhood, where the placid way of life is due as much to the beauty of its panoramic views as to its exceptional climate complimented by cool sea breezes. Mont Boron will astonish you either by the Baroque architecture of some of its residences and castles on its hills, or by the immoderate exaggerations of the Belle Epoque architecture. Most buildings date from the 1950's and consists of large terraces, pools and balconies with astonishing views.

Adding to the allure of this magical hilltop is "Parc Forestier du Mont-Boron" which incorporates 7 miles of marked trails in the heart of 57 hectares of Mediterranean forest. From the Mont-Alban fort, there is a unique panorama from Italy to the Esterel Mountains, including the Bay of Villefranche, the Cap-Ferrat, Nice and the Alps.

Mont Boron is home to the world's elite, with property starting at €350,000 and reaching anything up to the tens of millions. Privacy is a luxury enjoyed by the occupants of this haven. Mont Boron enjoys a quieter way of life than Nice's city centre. Commercial activity, as one would expect from one of the world's most exclusive neighbourhoods, is limited. However, one has all amenities they need, including a shopping centre which has just recently touched these esteemed hills. High in the hills, this area is also easily accessible by the city's efficient transport system
