I believe the answer is:

riviera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nice environment?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

This is the entire clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for riviera that I've seen before include "Warm coastal district" , "Mediterranean resort area" , "French Mediterranean holiday area" , "popular holiday area" , "France/Italy Med coast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
