Location: Villefranche-sur-Mer in France

Nearest Beach: beach at 100.0 Metres
Car: not necessary
Villefranche is situated 4km from Nice Centre and 7km from Nice International airport. A well kept secret as it retains it's charm due to lack of major hotels nearby. You can happily spend all your time in the Village discovering it's wonderful history and why artists such as Jean Cocteau and Sommerset Maughan loved this area so much. In the 60's the music of the Rolling Stones could be heard across the bay from their villa on Cap Ferrat. Yet the village still retains it's authentic feeling. If you do wish to venture forth, the train which is 7 mins away runs all along the coast. Nice or Monaco are ten mins away or you can be in Italy (Ventimiglia) in 40 mins. The village of Eze is 20 mins by car or St Paul de Vence, Cannes and Antibes about 40 mins. A car is not essential and the walks here are fabulous. There is parking nearby. This is the best location on this fabulous coast by far. The French language Institute, Institut Francais, is a 10 minute walk away.

My kitchen compact and fully equipped with granite work surfaces.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

All Year Round: The location is perfect for a holiday any time of the year as the area has so much to offer and Villefranche benefits from a micro climate. Rue Obscure, which is one of the oldest streets in France runs under the apartment and is unchanged since the 14th century. Villefranche is the most charming and authentic town on the Cote d’Azur, nestled on the spectacular shores of the Bay of Villefranche, yet just minutes from Nice and Monaco. Still a genuine French fishing village with a wonderful local culture — yet also attracting a very interesting international group of visitors and residents, including students that attend the renowned French language institute called the Institut Français. This is a wonderful area for walkers with the coastal paths and the hills close by. For example there is a superb walk around Cap Ferrat (about eight miles). The American sixth fleet were stationed here during the second world war.

Villas and Gardens to visit: The unique micro climate has facilitated the development of world renowned gardens which are open to the public such as Villa & Jardin Ephrussi de Rothschild on Cap Ferrat, and Villa & Jardin Kerylos in Beaulieu sur Mer, both within walking distance. There are additional renowned gardens in the area of Menton.

Jean Cocteau Chapel and the Citadel: Jean Cocteau painted the interior of this most beautiful chapel on the waterfront. It has been recently restored to its former glory. Ville franche is a village full of art and artists. Visit the ramparts of the Citadel and take the guided tour into the Sculpture Gallery and through the cobbled street of the old towns history. Visit the tourist office for details.

Other Activities: the area is full of art and history.

Artistes Tresor

We loved the place. austrlia
Review Submitted: July 26, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Artistes Tresor was the perfect spot for our family rendezvous in the South of France. Perfectly situated within the old town, its third story elevation up an old staircase provided a panorama and level of comfort that one desperately hopes for in a holiday apartment but rarely encounters.

The view from the balcony across the harbour towards the Rothschild Chateau is second to none, and with the life of the town directly at the foot of the stairs on the street outside with a multitude of restaurants, a safe beach, and local food suppliers just moments away there was very little need to budge far from the calm of the balcony if all one felt like was a relaxing break by the sea. Alternatively, if you fancy venturing to other parts of the south coast, the public transport options are astonishingly good, inexpensive, and within very easy reach of the apartment.

This was a great base for us to explore the region and experience many of the renowned art galleries and museums, fabulous local produce, lovely restaurants and the incredibly well maintained and friendly beach.

The apartment has been established with a great deal of care and is managed locally with the same level of generosity and diligence. I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to experience life in the South of France and would certainly jump at the chance to return.

The treasure of Villefranche

Kristine A Oslo
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We had the pleasure of renting this apartment a week in Sept./Oct. 2009. The apartment looked stunning in the photographs on the internet, and it fulfilled all our expectations and more.

The location could not be better in the midst of old town, the terrace and its view is superb. Further, the apartment is modern and very comfortable (not to mention the good beds!), and the decorations dot the i's. Finally, all practical arrangments went smoothly, and a very nice lady met us in the apartment and shared a lot of practical information.

Thank you - we will be back, if we may! :)

Perfection on the Cote D'Azur

Simon and Atsuko London
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This beautiful apartment has everything you would wish for to spend a relaxing time in one of the hidden gems of the Cote D'Azur. Set centrally in Villefranche-sur-Mer and with stunning 180 degree views of the bay, harbour, Cap Ferrat and the corniches, the location is absolutely perfect.
We spent our honeymoon here and completely fell in love with the village and the apartment.
Internally, the owner (who is an artist) has created a really lovely ambience with the clean modern design delicately balanced with her own impressionistic artworks of the village and surroundings and many original features of the 17th century building.
The apartment is very spacious and has two bedrooms at the rear looking out over the pretty and historic streets, squares and churches and has another bedroom at the front which (like the living room) leads straight out onto the balcony and that view!
Though we visited Villefranche in August and it was of course busy, the village and surrounding area is so beautiful and varied that there was never any sense of being hemmed in. At other times of year no doubt all of these characteristics will ebb and flow with the seasons and the nigh on perfect climate make for endless joyl
There are many places to visit within the village including still a small,working fishing harbour with live catch, Jean Cocteau's famous painted chapel, a huge bastide, a long, clean and beautiful beach with the calmest and most bouyant sea water and of course a very good choice of restaurants (but do consult guide books and locals as they vary quite a lot).
The surrounding area includes Nice and Monaco both very close by but far enough away (!) as well as many artistic retreats and sites. We spent a most amazing day at the incredible pink Villa Rothschild (and gardens) on Cap Ferrat which is thoroughly recommended.
You do not need a car as everything is within walking distance in the village and the public transport (both trains and buses) is excellent. We also found the locals to be very helpful and friendly.
We almost don't want to go back as it would be so hard to have a better time - but we'll almost certainly be tempted!
This apartment, in this setting provided everything we'd hoped for from a visit to the Cote D'Azur.

Wonderful place!

Capricorn Toronto, Canada
Review Submitted: June 8, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My husband and I have just returned after spending a lovely week in Villefranche. After a long flight it was a joy to finally relax in this very charming apartment. The view alone made the trip worth while! The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed. The location in town was perfect too. We rented a scooter but train travel would be easy as the train station is only a very short walk from the apartment. All very convenient. This apartment would easily accommodate three couples or a family.

The only thing to note is that there are quite a few stairs to climb (to the apartment and throughout the village). If you have limited mobility it would prove problematic. If you enjoy this type of exercise you'll be fine! (And fit!)

We look forward to our next visit!

Charming apartment with incredible view

Cathia & Tom Toronto, Ontario Canada
Review Submitted: May 31, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
The location of this apartment in the old town is perfect, with an incredible view of the bay and across to St. Jean Cap Ferrat. Even despite the few days of rain and wind over the winter, we enjoyed the beautifully appointed apartment with its amenities and modern kitchen. The apartment is close to all shops, and to the train and bus service, which we used almost everyday to visit the towns nearby, as well as up and down the Riviera, from Cannes to Ventimiglia in Italy -- no need for a car at all. Plus there are spectacular sea walks all along the coast. One can be as active or relaxed as one likes from this apartment, with its easy accessibility to the many interesting sites.
Owner's Response: Another great review showing that winter in Villefranche Sur Mer is a lovely experience too if very different from the summer. We hope this inspires more guests to get away from colder climes in the darker months! Come and try some winter sunshine! Mattie x
