Villefranche sur mer is arguably the most beautiful bay on the French Riviera. The deep horseshoe bay surrounded by colourful buildings of all shapes and sizes is truly spectacular. There is a large sandy beach at the foot of the bay, ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The Old Town is steeped in history, you will find the Rue Obscure and the Citadel enchanting. A maze of historic narrow streets lined with quaint restaurants and bars lead downwards past the beautiful historic church to the picturesque seafront. Here on the edge of the unspoilt quay you will find more restaurants with breathtaking views on the bay. You can hire a boat or take a boat trip from here. There are plenty of local shops and boutiques. Its proximity to Nice and Monaco makes it a perfect base for exploration of the French Riviera. This beautiful bay continues to attract the most amazing people from all around the world.

An excellent base from which to discover the area

sarah_83 London
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
A well-fitted little apartment with particularly good kitchen and bathroom.

We liked the view from the balcony. Although it overlooks a busy road, we were used to noise from living in London and didn't notice it once the shutters were down, and it was good to see the sea.

The location is excellent - 10 mins from the centre of Villefranche, and on major bus routes along the Cote d'Azur which made exploring Nice, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Eze easy.

A very helpful information pack giving us details of places to see and restaurants to visit as well as the necessary info about the apartment.

Just one star deducted because it was a little too hot for us - we would have liked a stronger fan! But we are used to cool, British weather and many people would be fine.

Extremely good value for money and friendly communication - thanks for a great week!

A lovely stay!

Ella-Siobhan Cardiff, United Kingdom
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Villefranche (August 2009) and the apartment was exactly what we needed - clean, great location, easy access to public transport links, and surprisingly spacious for a studio apartment. As is was the peak of the summer when we went, it really helped to keep the shutters down in the mornings as the morning sun is very strong and shines straight into the windows. The view of the bay of Villefranche is fantastic from the apartment's balcony and we spent a number of evenings watching spectacular fireworks displays that illuminated the entire bay.
There is a very helpful collection of information leaflets and booklets at the apartment to enable you to plan lots and lots of things to do in the local area. Have already recommended the apartment to friends.
Monaco is definately worth a trip, although you may have to get your elbows at the ready to battle some of the other people waiting to get on the buses, the drivers definately like to squeeze as many people in as possible - although for one euro each way you really can't go wrong!
Many Thanks April, we had a lovely holiday!

Great stay in Villefrance

Huihai Helsinki, Finland
Review Submitted: August 18, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We had a great 8 night stay in this apartment in Villefrance. The amenities were great, it was nice to have a washing machine, a dishwasher and a tub plus the balcony is spacious and nice. Air-conditioning would have been nice to have but the fan worked fine. There is a road with a lot of traffic (basse corniche) just at the building's door, so you should be carefull with small children. The traffic however did not bother us at night. The pictures are accurate. There are quite a lot of steps down to the restaurants and to the beach, but it takes only a couple of minutes. There is a bus stop just at the door which we found really useful especially as the bus tickets were so cheap (just 1 euro to monaco or nice). Overall I would recommend Villefrance-sur-mer and this apartment to friends and would also stay here again myself. Hopefully soon!
