About this property

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.

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!

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.

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!

French Riviera Magnifique!
The view was breathtaking!! Loved sitting on the terrace over looking the port in Ville France sur mer. Perfect location to get to the gorges & all the cities along the Riviera. Julie who met us was wonderful at helping us get around. The pool was beautiful but a bit cool for swimming.

Breathtaking View and Beautiful apartment
This was the perfect weekend get-away after a busy week in Barcelona with our daughter. The apartment is perfectly appointed! The beds were big and comfortable, bathrooms were nice and clean. We spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the beautiful view of the sea. We arrived early and were promptly met by the property manager, we were allowed to drop our bags off while the unit was cleaned. The unit is just above the train station but the trains didn't bother us at all, and it was really convenient when we wanted to travel into Nice or Monaco. The town is so quaint and we really enjoyed the restaurants and shops. 10/10 trip!

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.

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!

This was our third stay at Villefranche Villa and we loved it as before. Presentation is perfect, the pantry is very well stocked which is a real bonus. All neat, tidy and clean and with such a stunning view, all was terrific. We do hope to return next year. Donna is so helpful, she's a delight. Thank you Shelton and Donna. Kind regards, Christine

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.

Really excellent apartment!
This is a very nicely modernised apartment with two good sized bedrooms (with very comfortable beds) and two bathrooms. it is very well equipped and reasonably priced. In fact, the property is better than it looks in the pictures as pictures/mirrors and new outdoor furniture on the balcony have been added.It is a short stroll into town where we bought all we needed from the Casino mini-mart. Plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from too, Le Mayssa was the best place to eat for us. You are next to the train station which is handy although the train do start quite early in the morning. It didn't bother us though. Excellent feedback from the owner and property manager. Overall 10/10!

The PERFECT Getaway
Villefranche-sur-Mer was the last stop on our European vacation, and after being at this apartment for less than 5 minutes, we wished it had been the only stop on our European vacation! The owner and the property manager were both very friendly and responsive, and the property itself was perfect for our family. It is literally in walking distance of the town and even closer to the train station. I've already recommended the property to two friends looking to visit France. As soon as we save up enough to be able to visit France again, I have no doubt we will be renting this property again.

This has it all
The apartment is beautifully furnished and fully equipped, and with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, it's very comfortable for 2 - 4 people. If you wouldn't think of staying on the Riviera without a sea view - and we wouldn't - this is the place to be. There are sweeping views of the Bay of Villefranche and even though it was too cold in Feb. to sit out on the balcony, the view makes this a special place. It's convenient to the local train and buses, and there's street parking if you have a car. The owner and the local contact were a pleasure to deal with. Hope to visit again sometime.

Lovely apartment
This is a lovely modern apartment with fantastic view of the Sea. I could sit on the balcony forever... and the master bedroom also shares the balcony overlooking the Sea. The apartment is bright and well-designed. It is so convenient for the train or all the restaurants in the old ville, which is the heart of the charming town. There is ample dressers and closets. The only caution is that the second bath is a bit small. I highly recommend this apartment, but all of Villefranche requires able walkers.

Superb Apartment with a great view of Villefranche-Sur-Mer Bay
The Apartment is spacious, with a good standard of fixtures and fittings, high end appliances such that the Apartment easily surpassed all of my expectations. Whilst I was a little worried about the Apartment’s proximity to the Railway line, you hardly notice the extremely quite trains coming and going and the benefit of the station being immediately below the Apartment, far outweighs any undue concerns. Parking can be difficult at weekends but manageable nonetheless and free which is a bonus. Definitely a wonderful place to stay all in all and I will hopefully return sometime soon.
