Simple but right on the waterfront, come to this bright and completely unpretentious eatery

A friendly, old-style diner/fountain place with plenty of character from black-and-white
checker linoleum floors to old photos on the wall. Great sandwiches including vegetarian
options and the coffee's good too.

; 9550 Main St, Nice; cottages $169-274;

The centerpiece may be the smartly renovated historic hotel - tile bathrooms, warm light-
ing, thick linens - but the rest of the property's lodging, including several modern, sustain-
ably built cottages, are equally peaceful. The shaded garden, walled-in swimming pool,
brick patios and porches exude timeless elegance. Garden rooms come with Japanese
soaking tubs heated by an energy-efficient geothermal-solar system.
