6 best hotels with villas in Nice

Hotels with villas in Nice are a great fit for travellers who want space, privacy and a “home-from-home” base—often with garden terraces, sea views or villa-style layouts—while still being within easy reach of Nice’s most famous neighbourhoods. In particular, villas suit couples and families who value quiet evenings and flexibility (think longer breakfasts, separate lounging areas, and room to spread out), rather than a compact city-room experience.

For location, two areas stand out. Vieux Nice (Old Town)—set around Castle Hill and close to Place Masséna and the Port Lympia—is ideal if you want character streets and quick access to landmarks and food. Cimiez is a popular “elevated” alternative: it’s residential, scenic, and anchored by major cultural stops such as the Matisse Museum on the Cimiez hill.

Guests staying on or near the Promenade des Anglais also get the classic Nice atmosphere, with the iconic waterfront boulevard used by both locals and visitors for walking and relaxation. If you’re looking for something closer to that seafront lifestyle, the villa options in our list—such as *Villa 5 Nice St Pancrace (5★)* and *Luxueuse et confortable villa sur mer*—tend to suit those who want sea-breeze views without giving up villa-level privacy.

In short, choose a villa in Nice when you want comfort, independence and an elevated setting—then build your days around Vieux Nice’s charm, Cimiez’s culture, and the city’s celebrated seafront.
