Our top five properties this month are a widespread selection of investment, prestige and renovation properties. They make our list because they are exceptional in one way or another.

1. Lets start with a classic investment property at a very good price. This apartment has a full rental book for holiday makers and rents consistently. The reason is that it has a large comfortable balcony with amazing city views, is in perfect condition and is very close to the Old Town of Nice and transport links.

2. Our second property is new on our books this month. It’s a stunning apartment, beautifully renovated, close to all facilities and is in one of Nice’s most spectacular Victorian era buildings. Click on the photo below for more information.

3. Another great investment property - It rents well on the holiday market, because of it’s view and spotless interior. A one bedroom Port property with a port view for under 290,000 euros. Click on the photo below for more information.

4. A rare and stunning new villa with panoramic views of the mediterranean - rare because new build houses in this part of the Riviera are very difficult to find. This villa has everything you would want from a large separate master bedroom suite with views to die for, a brand new swimming pool and large amounts of terrace space. At 2.9 million euros still a bargain. Click on the photo below for more information.

5. A huge stone house built in the 18th century offers 10 bedrooms of which 7 are currently running as a successful B&B business. The property is located about 40 kilometers west of Montpellier in the Lanquedoc. Click on the photo below for more information.
