Nice · Cimiez
A large apartment in a Belle Époque residence, a villa with a garden or a quiet garden flat: we look after owners in Cimiez, Nice's residential hill.
Up on the hill, minutes from the centre, Cimiez is home to the former Belle Époque palace hotels, such as the Excelsior Régina where Queen Victoria stayed. It has Roman arenas, the Matisse museum, the monastery and its gardens, and the Marc Chagall museum at the foot of the hill.
The area attracts a different clientele from the seafront: families, long-stay guests and art lovers looking for space, a garden, calm and a parking spot.
Stays tend to be longer and guests more careful. With a listing that highlights space and calm, a property in Cimiez rents well, including off-season.
One simple plan: 20% excl. VAT of the nightly rate (24% incl. VAT), with cleaning paid by the guest. See our offer in detail →
Change of use, no quota: as everywhere in Nice, renting out a second home as a holiday let requires a change-of-use authorisation. But most of Cimiez lies outside the 2026 quota areas: you apply on the Metropole's online service and get an answer within 4 months. It is granted for 5 years, one per owner. We check your address and support you.
Main residence: rented out for less than 120 days a year, it needs no change-of-use authorisation, but it must be registered and tourist tax collected.
Energy rating: the authorisation requires an energy performance certificate (DPE) rated between A and E.
Co-ownership: in Cimiez's large residences, first check that the co-ownership rules allow holiday rentals.
Mostly not: in 2026, Nice's quotas cover the Old Town, the port, the city centre and the west. Only the lower part of Boulevard de Cimiez is included. A change-of-use authorisation is still needed for a second home: we help you apply.
Yes. We coordinate garden and pool upkeep, and we adapt cleaning and linen to the size of the property.
20% excl. VAT of the nightly rate (24% incl. VAT), for all the services listed on our offer page. Cleaning is paid separately by the guest.
Not at all: many of our owners live in Paris or abroad. We keep the keys, handle guests and keep you posted on WhatsApp.
