Sun-drenched and by the sea, Nice is a natural summer holiday destination. Definitely the sort of city you want to stroll around with an ice cream, looking at historic buildings and popping your head into little galleries and boutiques, before heading back to your hotel pool. It is an easy option for the Côte d'Azur: lively, but not too busy; and glamorous, but great value too. And it has an excellently varied range of hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses, villas, and resorts — a good number of which have the all-important swimming pool. At the more luxurious end of the scale are the rooftop pools with views over the ocean, and expansive, palm-fringed lagoon pools; while at the more affordable end are shaded courtyard pools, villas in the hills above Nice, and family friendly beach hotel pools.
