That kind of money will get you a nice 1-or 2 bed apt in central Menton for about a week if you're lucky (most places are booked very early in the season). Oh, and rental villas all the way from Genova to St. Tropèz charge you that per day unless you want to live way up in the mountains and have a 30 minute drive to the water. The pressure is insane, I looked for almost a year before I found my house down here.
If you just want to get away from everything, I strongly suggest Menton over Nice. It doesn't have a lot of noise, not a lot of people under 40, very clean and pretty and it's charming in a way Nice isn't. Although it can be dull if you want to do anything crazier than having a beer on the beach promenade...
Have you considered the 'Italian Riviera'? Way cheaper and they are much more friendly. Plus if you pick Ventimiglia, you can walk over the border to Menton.
