  : Spectactular huge penthouse with terrace, spectacular view from all living areas and master bedroom, a garage for 2 cars!!!, very central location, first class owner and host. And I mean it, an excellence award is in order for the kind of service you will receive in this place. Access to many fully booked places was made possible only by host who will never hesitate to assist.
  : Girls thought that internet service was not perfect in all bedrooms, particularly in far end bedroom, I did not notice it was good in all living areas. It should be noted that the building is located at a busy street and it does get noisy around there, which is the only reason why I did not rate this property 10/10.

  : The apartment is really beautifully appointed and very large, the kitchen is very well equipped and the bathrooms fantastic. The view is wonderful, although there are some building in front of the sea. Tiago was very kind, quick, and provided excellent and outstanding advice and support, overall a very good experience.
  : The apartment is next to a very busy and very noisy road with no sound protection at all. We expected some noise but not quite this much. This is the only reason why we reduced to 9 out 10 points. This is of course very subjective, but we would not stay at this apartment again, despite being so beautiful. Parking is very (!) tight, you will want to have a small car;-)

  : We stayed in Nice during the heatwave, so the absence of AC was noticeable, although using the shutters during the day and the many supplied fans did help. The apartment is beautiful - high ceilings, lovely parquet floors, period details - very belle epoque! The house is around a 10 minute walk into the port - downhill on the way, but uphill when travelling back with supplies, so it feels a bit further. Uber costs under 10 euro, so probably a good shout if you are shopping and are not driving. The hosts are excellent and the comms via WhatsApp worked really well.

  : The apartment is incredibly large and beautifully furnished. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. A special plus is your own garage.
  : There was some inconveniences in payment process. Make sure to note that this apartment does not have air conditioning. If I had paid attention to this, I would have chosen another place. In hot days it was difficult to stay at home, sleeping at night was just a torment. During the day the house heats up and the apartment is still very hot at night. There is a fan in every room, but they did not provide any relief. We opened all the windows, but there was a busy road under the house and it was very noisy. VERY noisy both day and night. There are earplugs in the rooms. But a small child, open windows and ear plugs are incompatible.I consider environmental care should be moderately reasonable.

  : Apartment was spacious with good location!
  : Although advertised as child-friendly, based on our experience we cannot recommend Villa Lotus Penthouse by IVillamia for families travelling with children. Owing to a few stains that our children accidentally made on the white fabric couches, armchairs and benches in the kitchen, we lost over 500 euros of our deposit!!! :(. Also, due to inquisitive small fingers the numerous decorative items in the apartment will require you placing them out of reach. You may also get wrongfully accused of damaging property, as we were with cabinet pullers that were very poorly attached /glued in place and came off even with a gentle pull. So, be very aware that your deposit may be at risk, your stay might be far from relaxing, and the aftermath may take weeks. Also the host did not accept normal credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) through booking.com. Deposit had to be paid via Paypal and hotel fee through bank transfer. Also apartment does not have an air-conditioning (only fans) so the rooms can be very hot during July-August.
