Up on the Antibes hillsides, life unfolds to the sound of pines and warm southern light. This 41.36 m² one-bedroom apartment on the 1st floor is designed for easy Riviera living, with a bright 26.12 m² living room and open kitchen flowing straight out to a deep 14.92 m² south-facing balcony. Clean contemporary finishes, large sliding glazed doors and electric roller shutters keep the atmosphere calm and effortless. Within a secure, landscaped residence with rooftop pool and solarium, it offers a peaceful base between the coast, Valmasque nature trails and Sophia Antipolis.

Between the whisper of pines and the pull of the sea
On the hillside of Antibes, there is a particular kind of calm: the air feels cleaner, the pace softens, and the day seems to open wider. Here, among tall umbrella pines and protected Mediterranean greenery, you&rsquo re close to everything that matters&mdash yet wrapped in the quiet that makes the Riviera feel restorative rather than restless.
Set on the 1st floor and oriented south, Apartment A106 captures that atmosphere beautifully. It offers 41.36 m² of thoughtfully designed interior space, extended by a deep, sunlit 14.92 m² balcony&mdash a true outdoor room where mornings begin slowly and evenings linger naturally.
A home designed around light, flow and simplicity
The plan is refreshingly straightforward: no wasted corners, no awkward compromises&mdash just a calm sequence of spaces that feels easy from the first step inside. The heart of the apartment is a generous 26.12 m² living room with open kitchen, sized to welcome both everyday life and relaxed entertaining. Picture a dining table set for late lunches, a sofa angled toward the daylight, and that constant invitation outdoors through large glazed openings.
In the living area, large sliding glass doors bring the outside in, filling the room with the warm, flattering light that a south-facing orientation delivers. The transition to the balcony is seamless, encouraging a rhythm of living that feels unmistakably Mediterranean&mdash coffee outside, a book in the shade, a fresh breeze crossing the room as the afternoon unfolds.
The open-plan kitchen is integrated into the space for conviviality: cooking remains part of the conversation, whether it&rsquo s a quiet weeknight meal or a long weekend brunch. The overall impression is modern, clean-lined, and calm&mdash an interior that feels uncluttered and effortless.
A restful bedroom with a sense of privacy
The bedroom, at 10.33 m² , is designed as a genuine retreat rather than an afterthought. Proportions allow for comfortable furnishing, while the layout keeps the sleeping space naturally distinct from the day area&mdash ideal for anyone who values a clear separation between social time and rest.
Practicality is built in too, with integrated storage (built-in closet) to keep the room feeling serene and beautifully ordered.
A refined shower room with contemporary finishes
The apartment includes a 4.91 m² shower room, finished in a modern style consistent with the residence&rsquo s high-end specification. Details are selected for comfort and clarity: tiled bathroom finishes, a vanity unit with mirror and integrated lighting, a heated towel rail, and a wall-hung Wc for a streamlined look. It&Rsquo S a space that feels fresh, practical, and easy to maintain&mdash perfect for a primary home, a pied-à -terre, or a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle.
Outdoor living&mdash your balcony as an extra room
What truly changes the feel of this apartment is the balcony. At 14.92 m² and facing south, it&rsquo s large enough to be more than a token outdoor strip. This is where you set up a dining corner for warm evenings, a pair of loungers for sun-filled afternoons, or a small garden of pots and fragrance&mdash rosemary, citrus, jasmine&mdash whatever makes the Riviera feel like yours.
The depth of the balcony encourages real use across seasons: shade becomes as valuable as sun in summer, while the softer winter light keeps the outdoor space inviting when you want a breath of fresh air without leaving home. It&Rsquo S an everyday luxury, and one that defines the lifestyle of the apartment.
A contemporary residence set gently into a protected pine grove
The building&rsquo s architecture is designed to sit in dialogue with the landscape rather than dominate it. Soft, contemporary lines and terraces create a stepped silhouette, while the overall feel remains natural and restrained&mdash tones that blend into the greenery, and generous glazing that maximises daylight. Across the residence, outdoor spaces are conceived as an extension of the interiors, reflecting the Cô te d&rsquo Azur tradition of living open to the sky.
Arrival is treated with the same care. The entrance hall and landings are architect-designed, combining natural wood accents, bronze-toned details and large-format marble-effect tiling, with a warm, understated lighting scheme. The result is a sense of quiet refinement&mdash welcoming, contemporary, and reassuringly well considered.
Rooftop pool and solarium&mdash an elevated way to unwind
High above the treetops, the residence features a swimming pool at the top level, accompanied by wide sunbathing decks. It&Rsquo S the kind of shared amenity that genuinely enhances daily life: a place to reset after work, to cool off on summer afternoons, or to savour the stillness of the hills with the horizon beyond.
Comfort, security and modern performance
The specification is crafted for contemporary living&mdash quiet, efficient, and secure:

Ducted air conditioning via heat pump (gainable) for year-round comfort
Electric roller shutters for ease, privacy and temperature control
60 x 60 cm tiling throughout the apartment for a clean, modern finish
Secure access with Vigik® keys and videophone
Reinforced entrance door with 3-point lock
Lift serving all floors and basement levels
Underground parking within the residence
Basement storage cellars and equipped bicycle storage rooms within the residence

All of this supports a lifestyle that&rsquo s both pleasurable and practical&mdash whether you live here year-round, split your time between cities, or want a base that performs beautifully with minimal effort.
Antibes&mdash Riviera energy, hillside calm
This setting brings together contrasts that make Antibes so compelling: the relaxed glamour of the coastline and the grounding presence of nature inland. In one direction, the town opens to beaches, marinas and golden evening light over the Mediterranean. In the other, the landscape turns greener and quieter, with paths and forests that invite walking, running and cycling.
From this hillside address in Antibes, daily life is easy to organise. The brochure highlights proximity to key conveniences and connections: nearby shopping options (including a shopping centre within walking distance), quick access to the A8 motorway (around 5 minutes by car), and the Nice Cô te d&rsquo Azur International Airport (approximately 15 minutes by car). The Sncf station in Antibes is also within straightforward reach (around 3.8 km), supporting regional, national and international travel.
Nature close by: Valmasque and the green Riviera
For outdoor lovers, the Valmasque departmental park is highlighted as a nearby escape&mdash ideal for hikes, trail runs, or simply time under the trees when the coast feels busy. It&Rsquo S one of the pleasures of this part of Antibes: nature isn&rsquo t an occasional outing it&rsquo s part of your weekly rhythm.
Sophia Antipolis&mdash connected to Europe&rsquo s leading technopole
The location also places you within easy reach of Sophia Antipolis, described as accessible in about 10 minutes by car or via public transport connections. With its international ecosystem of businesses and research, this proximity adds another layer of appeal&mdash particularly for professionals seeking a refined home base that balances workday efficiency with Riviera calm.
The essence of Apartment A106
Apartment A106 is made for those who want the Cô te d&rsquo Azur to feel effortless. A bright, open living space. A true south-facing balcony that changes how you live every day. Contemporary comfort, secure surroundings, landscaped greenery, and the rare pleasure of a rooftop pool above the pines.
It&rsquo s a home that doesn&rsquo t ask you to choose between tranquillity and connection&mdash because in Antibes, you can have both.
