About this property

Villefranche-sur-Mer holiday apartment

This delightful spacious, very sunny & bright large studio apartment (with separate bedroom area) with generous outside terrace, has stunning sea views overlooking Villefranche Bay and St Jean Cap Ferat. It is in an excellent location, with shops and transport within 1-2 min walk, and to the Old Town and sea approx 4 min walk (a further 3 minutes walk to lovely, sandy Villefranche beach). There is also free car parking. The real benefit of this property is the amazing sea views over the bay of Villefranche from the generous terrace - which is perfect for 'Al Fresco' dining. This would be an ideal base for a couple who would like to relax and have easy access to the enchanting town of Villefranche-sur-Mer nestled equi-distant between Nice & Monaco (4kms to either). Villefranche is one of most beautiful areas on the French Riveriera.

Villefranche-sur-Mer is a lovely, unspoilt, medieval village right on water's edge, (boasting a beautiful large sandy beach, with crystal clear waters at one end). It has great restaurants, charming shops and lovely narrow fascinating streets encapsulating it's rich past. It is a haunt for both the rich and famous, as well as, for the more discerning.

Our Happy Place!
We've been holidaying in Villefranche for about 12 years and have stayed in lots of different apartments but we keep returning to this one and have stayed here 4 or maybe 5 times. Says it all really! This is our happy place and now feels like "home from home". Villefranche is such a lovely place to stay and the apartment is just perfect with the most beautiful views from the balcony. Location is great - 10 minutes walk to beach and restaurants and the bus is 2 minutes away to pop along to Nice or Cap Ferrat for lunch! We love it here and hope to return many more times in the future!

Sehr schöne Wohnung, in der es an nichts fehlt. Wunderschöner Blick auf das Cap Ferrat.
Alles war Bestens, guter und freundlicher Kontakt zum Besitzer. Wir haben die Wohnung den Blick und die Nähe zu allem genossen. Natürlich bedeuten die zwei Straßen mit den 2 Ampeln auf den beiden Straßen, dass es nicht sehr ruhig ist, was aber vorher schon bekannt war. Dennoch haben wir gut geschlafen und die 5 Tage in dieser herrlichen Gegend, ein Katzensorung entfern von Nizza sehr genossen.

Wonderful view from balcony
Ideally located apartment for buses and local shops. The view from the balcony is amazing and the the apartment has everything you need. the owners communication is great and helped us out when the bus stop had moved in Nice! the only downside is the proximity to the main road and the noise from the traffic.

What a view!
This lovely apartment had a large balcony with a view that would be hard to beat---bay, bikers, people running and waking, strolling with their dogs, etc. It was close to grocery store, shopping and old village. Our host, Tim, was kind, quick to respond to any inquiries and flexible. We hpe to return. Merci beaucoup!

Fabulous views
.we have stayed in this apartment a few times before and love the authentic simple french feel this light bright apartment gives along with its magnificent views of the bay. Lovely to relax without the invasion of technology and the hum drum of the modern world. Villefranche-sur-Mer perfect location for exploring South of France and even a plunge into Italy. Easy access to public transport but the real plus are the owners. They gave a real personal touch with invaluable information and tips to enhance our stay. Places to visit, walk, eat, shop, transport etc. . Fabulous. So glad we decided to go for three weeks and eventually got our delayed, due to covid restrictions, holiday.

Apartment with terrace and beautiful view
The apartment is situated in the hill over Villafranche overlooking the bay with marvellous view. Different cruise ships and boats arrived each day and we enjoyed very much the view to the lighthouse in Cap Ferrat. The apartment is practical, but has not got an air condition, just a fan, so in July it was very warm. We had to move the beds in front of the terrasse and sleep with open doors. Excepy from this, the apartment and view was brilliant.

Fantastic View
Enjoyed a 6 night stay in this lovely apartment, we spent most of our time on the spacious balcony. The view of the bay was amazing. Location is perfect for bus stop, train is 10 minute walk. Lots of eating places nearby and a delightful bakery for your morning pastries. Good communication from hosts throughout and our deposit was refunded a week later.

Just lovely
One week spent here in June. The view from the balcony is stunning. The Apartment has everything you need for your stay. There is a busy road outside but this really didn’t bother us at all. We loved eating out every night at the harbour which is a 10 minute walk away. Shops, bar and fabulous cake shop all minutes away. The train station is a 10 minute walk away and the train travel is fast and cheap. Our only issue was works being carried out in another appartment upstairs but there’s nothing that can be done about that and it takes nothing away from this lovely place and it’s surroundings

Perfect holiday flat
This flat is as beautiful as the photos. We stayed here a week and felt like locals. It was perfectly appointed. We shopped, we cooked we couldn’t have asked for more. Tim and Catherine were very responsive and very friendly we felt as if we were “borrowing “ a friends place. the bus, right outside the door, runs from Monaco to Saint Tropez as does the train which is an easy walking distance. The building felt very safe,we came home very late a couple of nights and felt perfectly comfortable. Home away only provides for five stars, we would give it TEN! We just got home and we are already planning our return.

Absolutely charming with a spectacular view
I had the pleasure of staying in this charming studio apartment for one month while I studied at the nearby Institut de Francais. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and nice bathroom/shower. The view of Villefranche Bay is spectacular and I enjoyed watching the sun rise every morning from the large french-door/windows. The apt. location is perfect as it is close to the bus stop, train station, and the historic Old Town. There is also a nearby park with a farmer's market each Saturday and a small grocery market around the corner. I would also recommend this if you are planning on attending the Institute as it was an easy walk up the hill to the school (5-10 minutes). The booking was easy and the owners Tim and Catherine were extremely responsive to any questions and checked in throughout my stay to ensure all was going well. The other residents of the apartment building were also very friendly and helpful and it's a completely safe (and clean) building with secure access. Villefranche is a great location to stay while you enjoy the sights around the Riviera. It's a very quick bus ride or train ride to Nice and Monaco/Monte Carlo as well as other places along the coast. I highly recommend this apartment for your next holiday adventure!

Charming studio, not too far from the old centre. Lovely view on the bay.
We loved the studio, but hated the noise of the road below and 3 traffic lights. Very kind owners. Good contact. Studio could need some more space to stock one's bagage. Two sunchairs on the balcony would be very nice and please, change the blue-white striped cusshions; they were very dirty! Gezellig ingerichte studio. Bed heeft goed matras, is echter wel smal voor Nederlandse begrippen, nl. slechts 1.35m. breed. Vakantie had één minpuntje: erg veel verkeersoverlast. Wat wil je, met 3 verkeerslichten bijna direct onder je balkon?.............. Uitzicht op baai is werkelijk adembenemend. Zeer goed contact met uitermate vriendelijke eigenaren.

Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable ,au mois de mai ,dans cet appartement sympathique à la vue magnifique. Seuls points négatifs, le bruit de la route....et le manque de télé .... Le propriétaire a été correct avec nous en nous faisant part de cela et nous le remercions. Le soleil et la beauté de la région font oublier le reste....

Unbelievable sunrises
Apartment has lovely views both day and night. We woke up to beautiful sunrises daily. Windows did have shutters however we just couldn't bear to close them! Rental was clean and comfortable. Was stocked with everything we needed-including travel information. Bus stop to Nice and Menton was just up the road and very convenient. Train station was about 15 minute walk through town. Building was very safe and quiet with locked entry. Elevator on site as well. Owners were extremely easy to work with and flexible with arrival and departure times which was so helpful for coordinating with our flights. Apartment is located near park which had a market on Wednesday morning. Shopping store is just on the corner. Town of Villefranche is also very cute and we took day trips to Nice, St Paul de Vence, Monaco, and Italy . Would recommend this location and apartment without hesitation and hope to be back!
