Antibes Property For Sale

Full of understated glamour, Antibes is a beautiful resort in its own right. It is also a superb base for exploring the rest of the Côte d'Azur, situated as it is between Nice and Monaco on the one side, and by Cannes and St.Tropez on the other.

Antibes property owners often cite the quality of life afforded by this lovely old town with its bustling marketplace and narrow cobbled streets winding their way down to the secluded sandy beach. The lucky owners of Antibes property have 48 beaches to choose from, from small intimate coves to large family-friendly bays.

With such an idyllic location it is no surprise that authors and artists such as Gaham Greene and Picasso have chosen to live and work in Antibes, Picasso’s studio can be visited in the Chateau Grimaldi.

The most expensive Antibes property is located in the exclusive Cap d’Antibes, a secluded woodland area at the tip of the headland. Cap d’Antibes property prices are rising faster than any other area of the Côte d’Azur. Just inland Biot and Valbonne property prices are more down to earth.

Just round the headland from the Cap d’Antibes is Juan-Les-Pins, this is a trendy resort with excellent beaches and a pulsating nightlife. The area has attracted hedonists and party people since the roaring twenties and this concentration of nightlife just across the headland allows the lucky owners of Antibes property to enjoy it in peace and quiet.

The most sought after Juan-Les-Pins property is found in Le Pinede – home to the world famous jazz festival - where the beautiful sandy beaches are framed with scented pine groves.

Top Tip: If you don’t want to pay Côte d’Azur taxi prices to travel the 12 miles from Nice International Airport to Antibes just take a taxi to Nice St-Augustin and then catch the train in the direction of Les Arcs-Draguignan. Better still take the bus! The number 200 passes up to four times an hour from just outside Terminal 1. If you’ve arrived at Terminal 2 take the free ‘Navette’ (shuttle) bus to Terminal 1, walk outside, cross the road and catch the bus in the direction of Cannes – it’ll set you back all of €1.50 !
