Recommendation for places to stay in and around Nice

My friend and I plan to spend a few days in the French Riviera. Any recommendation on places to stay inland around Vence? We prefer more rural area, but still would like to see Nice. We will have a car.

The best way to see the coastal towns is really by train, and for that it would be better to stay on the coast where you'd be able to get to a train station without taking a bus. If you expect to spend more time seeing hill towns (St-Paul-de-Vence, Vence, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, Eze, etc.), the car will be very helpful, and it would make sense to stay up in the hills. I can't make a specific suggestion, having traveled solely by train and bus in that area.
