We'd like to explore the area near Nice by staying in one place (probably air B&B) and doing day trips to interesting towns. We may have visitors during that time, so we'd be looking for 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with parking. After the summer of 2022, we prefer air conditioning. A pool would be great. We do not need to be near a beach. We will travel in late may or mid-September.
We prefer small towns to cities, and not too much uphill walking. Not overcrowded with tourists. Good restaurants,cafes, and shops nearby or near parking lots.
I forgot to mention: we are not "posh" or spendy. We're not cheap, but rather, down to earth. We're willing and able to splurge for something special, but not to be ostentatious.
I met someone who had spent 6 months every year in Beaulieu sur mer, and he loved it. Any other suggestions?
