Up on the Bellet hills, the city feels quieter, greener—yet the Mediterranean still steals the scene. On the 1st floor, this 61.77 m² two-bedroom apartment opens to a 13.92 m² south-west terrace made for long aperitifs and sunset skies. Light-filled interiors, 2.60 m ceilings and quality finishes create an easy, modern Riviera rhythm. A private residents’ pool and secure access complete the sense of calm, just above vibrant Nice.

A Riviera Perspective, Above the Rhythm of the City
In the Bellet hills, Nice reveals a softer side&mdash winding roads through a landscape of villas and vineyards, pockets of greenery, and that unmistakable Cô te d&rsquo Azur light. Here, the air feels a touch cooler, the pace more unhurried, and the horizon stretches out toward the Mediterranean. This first-floor apartment captures that feeling beautifully: a calm, contemporary home where everyday life flows between bright interiors and a generous outdoor space, with the sea never far from view.
With 61.77 m² of thoughtfully designed living space, two bedrooms, and a 13.92 m² terrace facing south-west, it&rsquo s a home that suits modern living&mdash morning coffees in soft light, afternoons that drift outdoors, and evenings framed by warm sunset tones. Add to that a residents-only swimming pool and the reassuring ease of secure access, and you have a setting that feels private, composed, and distinctly Riviera.
Light, Volume, and a Sense of Ease
Step inside and the atmosphere is immediately clean and contemporary, designed to make daily life feel effortless. A 2.60 m ceiling height lends a welcome sense of volume, while generous glazing and outdoor openings draw the landscape into the apartment&rsquo s rhythm. The overall impression is one of clarity&mdash spaces that feel open, comfortable, and naturally connected to the terrace.
Finishes are chosen for durability and understated elegance. The flooring is specified as 60 x 60 Porcelanosa porcelain stoneware tiling (or equivalent) throughout the apartment, including hallways, living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and wet rooms&mdash an easy-care, cohesive surface that suits the Riviera climate and creates a refined, continuous look from room to room.
Comfort Engineered for Year-Round Living
Life on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur isn&rsquo t only about summer&mdash it&rsquo s about being comfortable in every season, from bright winter mornings to peak August heat. The apartment benefits from a ducted air conditioning/heating system powered by a heat pump, bringing discreet, efficient comfort without interrupting the clean lines of the interiors.
Windows and doors are finished with aluminium frames, aligning with the contemporary architectural style and supporting a crisp, modern aesthetic.
The Bedrooms: Calm, Private, and Easy to Live In
Two bedrooms make this apartment wonderfully versatile&mdash ideal for a small family, a second-home lifestyle with space for guests, or a work-from-home arrangement where one room becomes a peaceful office. The feeling remains consistent: bright, airy, and designed around practical comfort rather than wasted space.
Whether you imagine slow mornings with the terrace doors open or quiet evenings away from the bustle of the centre, the bedrooms offer a restorative backdrop&mdash places to reset after the beach, the museums, or an afternoon exploring the hills above Nice.
Bathrooms with a Clean, Contemporary Finish
The bathrooms are fully fitted with quality specifications, including Porcelanosa wall tiles (30 x 90) (or equivalent), a vanity unit with mirror, and an electric heated towel rail&mdash those small touches that make daily routines feel quietly luxurious. Wall-hung toilets reinforce the modern look and simplify maintenance, keeping the space feeling neat and streamlined.
Outdoor Living: 13.92 m² of South-West Sunshine
On the Riviera, outdoor space isn&rsquo t an extra&mdash it&rsquo s part of the home. This apartment extends naturally onto a 13.92 m² terrace with south-west exposure, perfectly oriented for afternoon light and golden evenings. It&rsquo s easy to picture a table set for late lunches, a comfortable lounge corner for reading, or planters bringing fragrance and texture to the open air.
And then there&rsquo s the view: a sea outlook that reminds you, in a single glance, exactly where you are. It brings a sense of distance and calm&mdash an ever-changing palette of blues that turns simple moments into something more memorable.
A Contemporary Residence Designed to Sit Gently in the Landscape
The residence itself is conceived to complement its hillside setting. The architecture follows the natural slope of the land, aiming to blend into the surroundings and preserve the character of the environment. Materials such as local cut stone, fine-grain mineral render, aluminium joinery, and glass guard rails contribute to a clean, modern silhouette that still feels anchored to the Cô te d&rsquo Azur landscape.
The design approach also pays attention to how neighbours live side by side: the residential blocks are arranged to help preserve views and privacy, an important quality in a setting where outdoor living is central to the lifestyle.
A Pool Reserved for Residents
There&rsquo s a particular pleasure in coming home and stepping into a holiday rhythm&mdash without leaving your own address. The residence offers a private swimming pool and sun deck reserved exclusively for residents, overlooking Mediterranean-style gardens. It&rsquo s a natural extension of life here: a place to cool off on warm days, unwind after work, or simply enjoy the quiet soundtrack of the hills.
Secure, Reassuring Daily Arrivals
Security is integrated into the everyday experience with keypad access, a video intercom, and a VIGIK system. The apartment entrance door is fitted with an A2P 3-point lock, offering an extra layer of reassurance whether this is a main residence or a lock-up-and-leave second home.
Bellet, Nice: Village Atmosphere with the City Within Reach
Bellet is one of those addresses locals speak about with affection. Set in the heights of Nice and bordered by the hills of Saint-Pierre-de-Fé ric and La Ginestiè re, it offers a more authentic, residential mood&mdash rolling terrain, winding lanes, and renowned vineyards that give the area its identity. It feels quietly removed, yet it remains connected to the life of the city below.
Everyday convenience is close at hand, with local amenities and key destinations in the wider Nice area accessible by foot, bike, and car. For broader connections, Nice continues to invest in transport infrastructure, including plans for a major multimodal hub and enhanced links across regional rail, tram, and airport networks&mdash an evolving backdrop that supports long-term ease of movement around the Riviera and beyond.
The French Riviera Lifestyle, Year-Round
Nice is not a resort that closes when summer ends&mdash it&rsquo s a living city with art, food, and energy in every season. From the iconic sweep of the Promenade des Anglais to museums and galleries, markets and café s, the coastline and the backcountry, the choice is always yours: a morning by the sea, an afternoon in the old town, and then home to the calm of the hills with the Mediterranean as your horizon.
This apartment captures that balance in a way that feels natural. It&rsquo s contemporary, comfortable, and designed around the pleasures that matter here most: light, air, a true outdoor space, and a view that makes even ordinary days feel touched by the Riviera.
