Here is a description of how to access the accomodation independently:
When you are at the address – 37 boulevard François Grosso 06000 Nice, you have to enter at the end of the path and you go to the right by the stairs.
You’re looking for VILLA TALCHI.
You go up to the gray iron portal just in front of you.
Please do not go on the stairs of our neighbour which should be just behind you at this point (she’s not very happy when it happens :D).
You open the right gate (the one with the black handle) and continue to climb the stairs.
Once at the top you take the green gate on the left. You enter onto the terrace of your accomodation.

To explore the region, a car is often the most practical solution. If you don't have one, we recommend the train rather than the bus: it's faster and more comfortable. You can easily reach Menton, Monaco, Villefranche, Cannes, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, or even San Remo by train.
