Wake Up To The Sound Of The Waves On The Beach...

Villefranche Vista is a two bedroom two bathroom luxury apartment. Enjoying an elevated south-facing location, it provides stunning views of the bay of Villefranche from the full length balcony, lounge and main bedroom. The balcony is exposed to the sun for most of the day and is perfect for al fresco dining.

The apartment was recently refurbished to a very high standard with marble floors and air-conditioning. Amenities include broadband wifi, a large flat-screen TV and Sonos sound system. The open plan kitchen has an American fridge freezer with ice maker, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. The bedrooms feature double beds with Egyptian cotton linen and big fluffy towels. The main bedroom with sea view has a separate modern bathroom. The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Both bathrooms are supplied with l’Occitane goodies.

Perfectly situated on the edge of the old town, the apartment is a five minute stroll to the restaurants and shops. The beach and train station are a two minute walk.

Villefranche-sur-Mer is a charming 13th century fishing village surrounding one of most beautiful bays in the world. This friendly and artistic town, in the heart of the Côte d’Azur, is one of the few spots on the French Riviera to have retained its old world authenticity and charm.

The old town of Villefranche cascades down the hillside to the water’s edge. Here, you are spoilt for choice with vibrant restaurants and traditional brasseries tucked away in the maze of narrow streets and alleyways.

Villefranche has a beautiful sandy kilometre-long beach and clear blue waters. Bathers take advantage of the average of 300 days of sunshine per year.

The train station provides easy access along the coastal route to Cannes, Antibes, Nice, the medieval village of Eze, Monaco and through to Italy.

Despite being a quiet enclave on the riviera coastline, Villefranche is surrounded by an exciting international scene. The amazing beauty of the village has long attracted the international jet set. Don’t be surprised to see a Hollywood A-lister drinking their morning coffee at the table next to you.

Great Place. Didn't realize really close by train stop was an asset, and made our trip easier. (Train didn't make much noise as it's electric)Views AMAZING. Clean unit, no problems. Beach access was easy and close, but there are stair cases up and down to get there.Can't think of anything to complain about - metal shutters close 98% and a bit of light peeks through into MBR. Would gladly stay there again. First time to France, and coordinating arrival time was more important than I realized. Fortunately I did this without realizing how important it could be and we arrived at unit at same time as our host to get the keys. She has drive there to get you the keys.

Fantastic location in a great property

Well designed, well maintained. This is a great location on the coast for access to the TER. Easy to get on/off/up/down the coast. Ville Franche is small but packed with great restaurants. Easy walk to a LOT. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Most amazing stay

The place was like a dream you can hear the water no rental car needed and the train is right there! Check in was easy and we traveled with my wife and teenager. If you are considering French Riviera don’t stay in a nice stay right outside in the village! Perfect location only 1 hour from Italy!

Perfect Riviera location - quaint, quiet and beautiful!

We stayed three nights and enjoyed everything about this place. The beds are comfortable, the patio roomy with plenty of seating and the most magnificent view of the sea. The biggest bonus for us was the train station literally in front of us for easy travel to Monte Carlo and Nice. The train noise is minimal. The birds were louder than the trains. 😂 I even slept on the patio couch one night to listen to the ocean.

Second Time to This Oasis

This is the second time we've stayed at this property. We returned with our 10 month old son and really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place. Checking in and out was great and easy. The location cannot be beat. We popped over to Ventimiglia which was recommended in the apt info book which was very helpful. We had a great time. We highly recommend this apartment so long as you don't try and book it when I want to stay there!

A piece of paradise

This was our first time to the south of France. My wife, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our accommodations were outstanding. Suzanne was a pleasure to deal with. The unit overlooks the bay and the views are magnificent! Having breakfast on the balcony and taking advantage of the views was special. It exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to go back.

Spacious Well Located Apartment with Amazing View

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment and hope to return someday. Apartment was well laid out for 2 couples or a family. Location was excellent to get to train, beach and restaurants. Villefranche is an excellent homebase to explore the neighbouring cities of the Cote d'Azur. My most memorable feature of the apartment is the Amazing view of the water and town from the spacious balcony. We loved sitting on the balcony where we spent most of our time when we weren't exploring Villefranche and the Cote d'Azur. Would highly recommend this apartment.
