High on the Antibes hills, life slows to the rhythm of the pines. On the 1st floor, this thoughtfully planned 44.14 m² one-bedroom apartment opens onto a 10.69 m² south-west-facing balcony—made for late lunches, reading in the shade, and golden-hour apéritifs. Inside, a bright living space with open-plan kitchen keeps everyday living effortless, while the bedroom sits quietly apart. Set within a contemporary, secure residence with landscaped parkland and an attic-level pool with solarium.

A Riviera rhythm, softened by the pines
Up on the Antibes hills, where tall umbrella pines filter the light and the air feels a touch cooler even in midsummer, the atmosphere is unmistakably calm. It is the kind of setting that encourages you to slow down: a morning coffee taken outside, an unhurried walk under the trees, and a return home to clean lines, modern comfort, and a sense of privacy that&rsquo s increasingly hard to find on the Cô te d&rsquo Azur.
Apartment A108 sits on the 1st floor and is oriented south-west, inviting the gentle warmth of afternoon sun and the glow of long evenings. With 44.14 m² of carefully organised interior space and a 10.69 m² balcony extending the living area outdoors, it offers an easy, refined base for year-round living, a lock-up-and-leave second home, or a smart foothold between the coast and Sophia Antipolis.
Interiors designed for easy living
The layout is refreshingly straightforward&mdash no wasted corners, no awkward circulation&mdash just spaces that feel natural to live in. At the heart of the apartment, the main living area (27.71 m² ) brings together lounge, dining, and kitchen in one light-filled volume. The open-plan kitchen keeps the mood social, whether you&rsquo re putting together a simple lunch after the market or sharing a bottle of rosé while dinner comes together.
Large sliding glazed doors in the living room draw you outward, turning the balcony into an extension of the day-to-day: a place to open the home to fresh air, to soften the boundary between inside and out, and to enjoy the south-west exposure as the light changes through the afternoon.
A quiet bedroom, comfortably separate
The bedroom (12.38 m² ) is set apart from the living space, creating a calmer, more intimate feel when the day winds down. It is sized to accommodate restful sleeping and practical storage, with built-in closet space shown on the plan&mdash an understated detail that makes a real difference to how tidy and effortless the apartment feels.
A sleek bathroom finish
The shower room (4.05 m² ) is designed to be both functional and refined. Within the residence, specifications include fully tiled bathroom walls, a vanity unit with mirror and integrated lighting, a heated towel rail, and suspended WCs&mdash finishes chosen to keep the aesthetic crisp and contemporary while standing up to the demands of everyday use.
The balcony: a south-west-facing slice of outdoor life
On the Cô te d&rsquo Azur, outdoor space isn&rsquo t a luxury&mdash it&rsquo s part of the lifestyle. Here, the 10.69 m² balcony becomes your open-air room for much of the year. South-West orientation is particularly appealing: brighter afternoons, warmer evenings, and that gentle, end-of-day light that makes even a simple moment&mdash fresh fruit, a book, the last call with friends&mdash feel like a ritual.
Whether you furnish it as a dining terrace, a sun-lounger corner, or a green retreat with potted herbs and Mediterranean planting, it offers the kind of flexibility that makes a compact home live larger.
A contemporary residence shaped by the landscape
The building&rsquo s architecture takes its cues from the setting: a contemporary silhouette in sand and pale taupe tones, designed to settle into the surrounding vegetation rather than compete with it. The faç ade is animated by broad glazing and curved, ribbon-like balconies that echo the organic lines of the hillside. Above, planted roofs add a soft, green presence&mdash an elevated continuation of the parkland below.
From the very first steps inside, the shared spaces are treated with the same attention as the private apartments. The entrance hall is conceived as a welcoming transition from the outdoors, using natural wood tones, bronze accents, large-format marble-effect tiling, and carefully considered indirect lighting. The result is quietly premium&mdash calm, warm, and contemporary.
Well-being, security, and everyday practicality
Life here is designed to feel simple. The residence offers an attic-level swimming pool with a solarium terrace&mdash an indulgent, hotel-like feature that elevates the everyday and makes summer feel effortless. A landscaped park with pathways and shaded spots under the trees creates a genuine sense of breathing space, ideal for an early walk or a quiet pause away from the coast&rsquo s energy.
Practical amenities complete the picture: an elevator serving all floors and basement levels, underground parking, basement cellars, and dedicated bicycle storage. Security is thoughtfully integrated too, with Vigik-style key access, videophones, and controlled access to basement areas via individual remotes, supporting both peace of mind and lock-up-and-leave convenience.
Antibes: between sea, culture, and a connected daily life
From this hillside address, Antibes unfolds in multiple directions. The coastline&mdash beaches, hidden coves, and the iconic Cap d&rsquo Antibes&mdash sits within easy reach, as does the unmistakable charm of the old town with its golden ramparts and Provenç al market atmosphere. Port Vauban, one of Europe&rsquo s great marinas, adds a sense of scale and Riviera theatre, while cultural life is anchored by landmarks such as the Picasso museum and the Anthé a theatre.
Nature lovers have a second world close by: the Valmasque departmental park for walking, running, and cycling through greenery, offering a contrast to beach days and a welcome option outside peak season. And for those balancing lifestyle with business, Sophia Antipolis&mdash the leading European technology park&mdash is nearby, making this setting particularly appealing for active professionals seeking a calmer home base.
Easy movement along the Riviera and beyond
Connectivity is part of the appeal. Road access links quickly to the A8 motorway for Cannes, Nice, Monaco, and Italy, while Nice Cô te d&rsquo Azur International Airport sits within comfortable driving distance for frequent travel. Antibes train connections support regional and longer-distance journeys, bringing the wider Riviera&mdash and beyond&mdash into reach without the need to rely solely on the car.
The essence of A108
A108 is a bright, modern one-bedroom apartment that prioritises comfort, flow, and outdoor living. Its south-west-facing balcony adds a valuable dimension to daily life, while the residence&rsquo s landscaped setting, secure design, and rooftop pool create the atmosphere of a private retreat on the Antibes hills. It is a home that suits the Riviera as it&rsquo s truly lived: outdoors as often as possible, connected when needed, and always with an eye toward calm.
