A rare find, this beautifully renovated townhouse shines with historic charm and contemporary flair on the most picturesque cobblestone street in ancient Antibes. Enjoy the rustic character of the Old World and the luxury of modern conveniences. Located on idyllic Rue du Bateau, by the medieval ramparts of the Old Town, and across the street from the Picasso Museum, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse is a bright and airy work of art. Meticulously renovated with comfort and style in mind, Maison du Bateau is your painting-perfect home during an unforgettable stay on the Côte d’Azur. Although guests are just steps away from gorgeous sandy beaches, delightful shops and restaurants, and the wonderful Provençal farmer’s market, the setting is quiet and peaceful—just what you need for rejuvenating days and restful nights. The pastoral charm of Provence and the elegance of the French Riviera can be found throughout the townhouse, in its lovely oak finishes, exposed stone walls, and artisanal tile work. While preserving the quaint and historic essence of the property, we have fully updated the home to include world-class, contemporary amenities so our guests’ every desire is thoughtfully considered and fulfilled. Perfect for four guests, the two bedrooms are generously appointed with dreamy mattresses, plush pillows, and high-thread-count linens, while the bathrooms are stocked with luxury bath products. With air-conditioning and heating throughout the house, guests can comfortably lounge, relax, and enjoy a large Samsung LED TV with access to Netflix, AppleTV, and cable channels. Free high-speed Wi-Fi provides even more entertainment options. Shop the nearby farmer’s market for fresh local seafood, olives, goat cheese, Cavaillon melons, rosé wines, and other regional specialties. And bring your ingredients back to the farmhouse-style kitchen, which comes with everything you need to make a gourmet meal—a chef-quality oven and stove, dishwasher, microwave, and Nespresso machine, as well as all the cookware, utensils, dishware, and stemware. Then, take your coffee, your glass of wine, or your home-cooked meal to the shared courtyard, where you can fully experience the restorative beauty and pace of French village life. The property comes with all the necessities of home: clock radios with USB docking in the bedrooms, washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, baby cot, and high chair. Each bedroom can be configured to one king-sized bed or two twin beds.

Cultural sights, cafes, boutiques, grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and the sparkling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean are all just meters from your doorstep. A five-minute walk from the house, the lovely Plage de la Gravette is a small beach that is great for families with young children, as it is sheltered from the waves by a breakwater.
