Set among the umbrella pines of Antibes’ hillside, this refined second-floor apartment offers an unhurried Riviera rhythm—calm, green surroundings with everyday convenience close at hand. Inside, 66.13 m² is thoughtfully arranged with a generous open living area, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate Wc for added comfort. A 15.99 m² north-east facing balcony extends the living space outdoors for coffee at sunrise and cool evening air. The residence pairs contemporary, curving architecture with a secure, high-spec finish and a rooftop pool designed for slow, panoramic moments.

A hush of pines, a life connected to the Riviera
On the hills above Antibes, where the air carries that unmistakable Mediterranean perfume of pine and warm stone, life feels a little lighter. Days start earlier here&mdash soft, clear, and unhurried&mdash then unfold into everything the Cô te d&rsquo Azur does so well: beaches and marinas, markets and museums, a vibrant dining scene, and the creative energy of Sophia Antipolis close by. In this tranquil, elevated setting, a contemporary residence is carefully set into a preserved wooded environment, designed to sit gently among the trees rather than dominate them.
Within it, this second-floor, north-east facing apartment offers 66.13 m² of thoughtfully designed living space, finished with a calm, modern palette and planned for everyday comfort. Two bedrooms, a large open living area, and a generous 15.99 m² balcony come together as an easy, elegant base&mdash ideal for year-round living, a lock-up-and-leave second home, or a refined foothold on the Riviera.
Inside, space that flows&mdash and breathes
Step through the front door and the apartment immediately feels composed and practical. An entrance hall of 4.03 m² creates a clear threshold between the outside world and the privacy of home&mdash perfect for dropping keys, bags, and beach towels without ever cluttering the living space.
From here, the layout opens naturally into the heart of the apartment: a 31.92 m² living room and kitchen area. It&Rsquo S a generous volume for a two-bedroom home, with the kind of proportions that allow real flexibility&mdash dining with friends, a comfortable lounge area, a work-from-home corner, or simply room to breathe. The kitchen is arranged open to the living area, encouraging an easy, social rhythm&mdash breakfasts that drift into late mornings, aperitifs prepared while conversations continue, and the simple pleasure of sharing the same light-filled space.
Large sliding bay windows draw the eye outward and bring in abundant natural light&mdash one of the defining qualities of the residence&rsquo s design. The feeling is modern and airy, with a strong connection to the outdoors that suits the Riviera climate perfectly.
A calm night wing, set apart
A discreet corridor (3.53 m² ) separates the day spaces from the sleeping accommodation, so the apartment lives beautifully whether you&rsquo re hosting or enjoying quiet nights in. The two bedrooms are well balanced in size&mdash 10.90 m² for Bedroom 1 and 10.06 m² for Bedroom 2&mdash ideal for a couple with a child, visiting guests, or a dedicated office that still feels like a proper room.
The shower room (3.95 m² ) is designed for everyday ease, and the separate Wc (1.74 m² ) is a small detail that makes a noticeable difference&mdash especially when family and friends are staying.
Outdoor living, the Riviera way
In the South of France, an outdoor space isn&rsquo t an accessory&mdash it&rsquo s part of the lifestyle. Here, the apartment opens onto a 15.99 m² balcony, with a generous width that invites you to furnish it properly: a dining table for long lunches, a pair of loungers for reading, or a small garden of aromatic herbs. Facing north-east, it&rsquo s particularly well suited to the Riviera climate, offering gentle morning sun and a cooler retreat as the day warms&mdash exactly the kind of outdoor space you&rsquo ll use far more than you expect.
Whether your ritual is coffee in the early light, a quiet hour with a book, or a late supper carried outside when the air turns soft again, this balcony extends the apartment into the open air with natural ease.
A contemporary residence designed to sit among the trees
The architecture embraces the landscape: flowing lines, soft sand-toned faç ades, and wide expanses of glazing that capture daylight from morning to evening. Curved balconies read like organic ribbons, creating a gentle dialogue between built form and nature. Above, vegetated rooflines echo the surrounding greenery&mdash an approach that feels distinctly Riviera, where outdoor living and the natural environment are always part of the story.
Shared spaces are treated with genuine care. The entrance hall and landings are designed with a refined, welcoming atmosphere&mdash natural wood tones, bronze accents, large-format marble-effect tiling, and considered lighting that flatters the materials and creates a calm arrival home.
Well-being and peace of mind, built in
The residence is conceived for comfort and security, with features chosen to simplify daily life and elevate the experience of living here. Residents benefit from a rooftop swimming pool with broad solarium terraces&mdash an elevated place for slow afternoons and long views, where the horizon becomes part of your routine.
Security and practicality are equally well considered, with controlled access via Vigik-style keys, videophones, and secure access to the basement level. An elevator serves all floors and the underground levels, where you&rsquo ll also find basement parking, cellars, and dedicated bicycle storage&mdash perfect for embracing the local lifestyle, from quick trips into town to leisurely rides in the surrounding green spaces.
Inside the apartment, the specification focuses on modern comfort: smooth wall finishes, large-format tiling throughout, electric roller shutters, and a ducted air-conditioning system powered by a heat pump&mdash designed to keep interiors quietly comfortable across the seasons. The bathroom space is finished with tiling, with a vanity unit, mirror, and integrated lighting, and the Wc is suspended for a contemporary look and easy maintenance. Outdoor areas are equipped with a light point so evenings outside feel effortless.
Antibes: between sea, culture, and the ease of everyday life
From this hillside setting, Antibes unfolds in layers. Down by the water, there&rsquo s the old town with its golden ramparts, the Musé e Picasso, and the Provenç al covered market&mdash an atmosphere of colour and texture that never loses its charm. The coastline offers everything from sandy beaches to small coves, while Port Vauban&mdash one of Europe&rsquo s major marinas&mdash adds that unmistakable Riviera energy.
Yet this address is equally about practicality. In the immediate area, you&rsquo ll find shopping options including a nearby retail centre, as well as a tennis club within easy reach. Schools and daily amenities are accessible by car within minutes, and the wider region is exceptionally well connected: the A8 motorway is close for travel along the coast, Nice Cô te d&rsquo Azur International Airport is reachable in around 15 minutes by car, and Antibes train station connects you to regional routes and national and international Tgv services.
Nature close by, all year round
When you want to swap the coast for greenery, the Valmasque departmental park is nearby&mdash ideal for walking, running, and mountain biking in a landscape that feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of the seafront. This balance&mdash between shade and sea, calm and culture, nature and connectivity&mdash is what makes the Antibes heights so appealing.
A refined two-bedroom base for the Cô te d&rsquo Azur
This apartment brings together what discerning buyers look for on the Riviera: a well-planned interior with a generous living space, two comfortable bedrooms, and a substantial balcony designed to be lived on. Add the contemporary, nature-led architecture, the landscaped park setting, rooftop pool, and the everyday ease of secure access, lift, basement parking, and storage&mdash and you have a home that feels both restorative and effortlessly practical.
It&rsquo s a place to come back to: quiet mornings, pine-scented air, and Antibes waiting below&mdash ready whenever you are.
