About this property

In the Heart of the Old Town a Light and Spacious apt steps away from the Sea

La Belle Mémoire

A light, beautiful, spacious and recently renovated 2 bedroom apartment on one of the prettiest pedestrian streets in the heart of the historical old town of Villefranche- sur-Mer. The apartment is steps away from the sea, close to the beach, the train station and local shops and restaurants.

Recently remodelled, the apartment is located on the second floor of a restored sixteen century building on the pictoresque Rue de May. This home away from home is equipped with all the amenities you need to create beautiful memories whether you are a family, visiting with friends or on a romantic holiday.

As you walk into the apartment you will be struck by the three large French windows with traditional shutters which look out onto the pedestrian street below and offer views of the sea to your right.

The living area benefits from high ceilings, comfortable seating, air conditioning, a dining table large enough for six guests and a delightful writing desk. The kitchen is fully equipped (including a coffee machine) and the bathroom boasts a rain shower.

The large light bedrooms are accessed from a beautiful wooden staircase. A central corridor separates the two bedrooms and each bedroom has its own door. The mezzanine first bedroom with glass balustrade has a comfortable double bed and the second bedroom (not a mezzanine) has two comfortable single beds that can come together to form a super King-sized bed. The beds are hand crafted with good quality mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets. Each bedroom boasts plenty of storage space (chest of drawers and hanging rail) and an air conditioning/heating unit.

This charming base is just a five minute stroll from the beach; six minutes walk from the station, from which you can conveniently access Nice, Cannes, Monaco and Italy; and just a ten minute walk from the world renowned Institut de Francais.

Please note, as is the custom in this region, there is a Eur 120 final cleaning fee payable to our property manager on arrival.

Lovely apartment, well appointed and comfortable. Very close to everything you want to see and do.
As a family of four we found the apartment a perfect size. The bedrooms in the loft space are lovely and bright. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook meals. The addition of shower gel/cap and sewing kit were thoughtful and helpful additions, as were things like laundry and dishwasher tablets. We loved the location, and spent some time watching the world go by out the living room windows on Rue de May. There are lovely restaurants just a few steps away and the beach is a manageable walk. The train station is also close by and the trains to other locations along the riviera are regular and fast! We would love to return! My only comment for improvement would be the addition of a blind on the small window in the twin room. All other bedroom windows are fitted with blackout blinds, but this one. We carry a portable one with us, but had we not had it, the light would have been a problem for our children.

Bon séjour - logement moyen
L’emplacement et le village de Villefranche sur Mer est exceptionnel. On ne peut imaginer un meilleur cadre pour trouver un peu de douceur durant l’hiver.L’emplacement du logement dans les rues piétonnes est assez pittoresque pour ceux qui peuvent se déplacer facilement.Les chambres étaient confortables.Les serviettes étaient fournies et de bonne qualité.L’accueil de Donna était agréable.LaClimatisation réversible n’était pas suffisante pour chauffer la pièce principale et était un peu bruyante.Le ménage n’avait pas été fait assez récemment. Le canapé est taché, la porte de la salle de bains, le contour de la douche étaient sales.Les carrelages de la salle de bains et les meubles de la cuisine étaient tachées.Attention aux frais de ménage en plus du prix (indiqué dans le descriptif, à lire avec attention).La télé est minuscule.Il y a eu une fuite d’eau (signalée) vers l’étage inférieur de la salle de bains.

Spacious and bright
Very spacious, updated and good location if do not mind the stairs. Specifically the bedrooms are upstairs and bathroom is down. All was good, just good to know. Close to train station and beach. Car not necessary and no parking spot, but If you have a car, you can buy a week-long pass in town that helped reduce parking costs.

Villefranche spectacular!
My daughters and I spent 5 days in this gorgeous apartment. It was steps away from a grocery store, shops, restaurants and the beach. The apartment had all the amenities of home which made us feel like part of the Rivera family. Would highly recommend.

Incredible location—every view was amazing
We loved the location. We wanted the small French town experience and this property delivered that. Close to the train station, wonderful restaurants all around, and the Mediterranean Sea very close and can even see it out the window. Great communication. Donna met us at the apartment and gave recommendations, showed us how to use the washing machine and more. Only thing was the stairs—being from the US we didn’t give the stairs in the town and to get into the apartment much thought until we had to climb them a lot. 2 of the people on the trip were older and struggled a bit but they both thought it was totally worth it and we all enjoyed our stay so much.

The PERFECT Villefranche Experience
This property made our Villefranche vacation just perfect. The communication with both the owner and property manager was outstanding. The location in old town was ideal as it was close enough to all of the shops and restaurants we liked but also (and importantly) very quiet at night. The air conditioning was a huge plus as it was very hot during our time there. Everything was super clean and well-appointed. Bottom line….we visited Paris right after and all of us said to a person that we would go back to Villefranche (and this property specifically) in a heartbeat over Paris again. Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality!

Modern Amenities in an Authentic Setting
Spacious, bright and modern apartment in a 16th century building. Very well situated on a stepped passage for access to restaurants, shops, bus stops and train station. Both the owner and on site greeter were very helpful. Apartment was well furnished, well stocked and very clean. Would certainly return.

Nice Condo, Gorgeous Location
This was a cute condo in an excellent location with some nice conveniences such as more than ample AC and a washer/dryer unit which worked well. The shower was nicely sized, and the beds were very comfortable. The only real drawback was the layout, which was a bit odd (but can’t really be helped by the owner). The bedrooms are both upstairs, and the bathroom is downstairs. Also the bedrooms have slanted ceilings and even adults under 5’5” can hit their heads when getting out of bed in the second bedroom. Overall, these things are worth considering but didn’t impede on our enjoyment of the trip. The best thing about the place was the convenience to everything in Villefranche-sur-Mer, and also to the train station which allowed super easy travel to Nice and Monaco. Such an amazingly beautiful area! We enjoyed our stay in Villefranche tremendously.

Beautiful spacious apartment, great location, (although be aware there are a lot of steps in Villefranche sur Mer) and the most comfortable beds we encountered whilst holidaying. The only negative was some of the pots and the coffee machine had not been cleaned by previous tenant, and this had not been picked up by management

Lovely apartment in amazing location!
My family Ioved this apartment. It was bright and spacious in the heart of the veille ville. 7 min walk from the train station or the beach. Surrounded by the best restaurants. A hike or drive to the fort St Alban is worth it for fabulous views. A stroll through the Citadel was well worth it as well.

Lovely apartment in Vieelfranche
A very nice apartment in the old town of Villefranche. Entering the apartment you are immediately struck by the feeling of space with high ceilings in the main room and a good amount of light. The kitchen and bathroom were clean, well equipped and suit the apartment. The bedroom on the mezzanine is light and airy, and provides access to the second bedroom.
