Villefranche-sur-Mer is in a village in the heart of the Cote d'Azur (between Cannes and Monaco). Created in 1295 by Charles II d'Anjou, this village has kept its picturesque charm with the progression of the centuries. The bold colors of Mediterranean-style homes, the small and steep streets, and the lack of cars in the old village will bring to mind times past while offering the finest of modern cuisine, art, and scenic views. Villefranche-sur-Mer is blessed with a Mediterranean climate; mild in winter and very warm in summer.

Built in 1700 and fully remodeled in 2006, this apartment is in picturesque Villefranche-sur-Mer. This flat is ideal for spending a relaxing week exploring the French Riviera.

The city of Villefranche-sur-Mer is accessible by train and the station is a five-minute walk from the apartment.

Myself and my long suffering husband returned today from a 4 day break in Villefranche sure mer. The photos on the website are very accurate and the place is spotless and excellently furnished. This apartment offers the best of both worlds. Situated close to the waterfront in the old town, it has neither the noise of traffic nor the bluster of the fun and frolics of the great restaurants on the waterfront. Yet, the beach and these same restaurants are just a stones throw away. We landed at Nice airport and gor the 98 bus and 80 bus the V'franche and were 35 minutes in transit. the train station with its magical train ride thru' Cannes, Antibes, Monaco are 3 minutes from your door. A perfect place for a car-less trip to this wonderful area- without the headache of parking. The owners are really helpful and the whole experience was very pleasant adding to great break away. Highly recommended!

The apartment is in a great location - minutes from the restaurants and an easy walk to the buses and train station. The steps to the apartment were a bit daunting however we did get used to them! The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped - lots of towels and linens and a full kitchen just as the photos show Erin was extremely helpful and made the booking process very easy. We have visited Villefranche quite a few times but still really enjoyed trips to Nice and Monaco Cant wait to visit again!

This was our third trip to Villefranche - we love this charming little town - our first stay in Erin's flat. The apartment was charming. It was quite comfortable, roomy, clean, and well equipped with everything we needed. We were amazed by the close proximity to shops and restaurants, train station, and the beach. After spending a week in Paris, it was wonderful to relax in this little town, and Erin's flat was just the right place for it. We will be back!

We stayed at this charming, well maintained apartment and it was perfect in accommodating all of our needs. We were five in total with 2 children. There were plenty of space, and the well equipped provided us with meals and snacks to pack picnics for the next days adventures. It was so close to all the restaurants, shopping, amentities that it truly made one feel like a local. The beach was so easy to get to especially with all the beach toys they wanted to down which were graciously, and appreciatedly, provided in the apartment. The train was so easy to use and accessible we enjoyed many excursions along the Cote d'Azur. The stairs leading to the apartment were quirky but in the end provided a little comic relief and many stories. Just be careful and use the lights! :) I can not write enough about this apartment - we will be back! Villefranche-sur-mer is the perfect little community and so close to NIce without having to stay in NIce. Even as the cruiseships evaded our little harbour it rarely seemed crowded. Thank you to Erin for making this rental avaialble and being so easy to work with! You were wonderful. Thank You!

Ultimate Relaxation in Villefranche Sur Mer!

Our family of five were able to completely relax while staying at this fantastic Apartment for a week. We were amazed at it's proximity to the beach and the train as well as pleasantly surprised by all the great restaurants just a stone's throw from the front door. Suffice it to say, we did not have to venture far to find everything we needed to really enjoy the Riviera. We took in the Bastille Day Celebrations (the night before) just down on the waterfront - after having experienced a crazy thunderstorm that afternoon. Fabulously decorated boats and crew throwing flowers at onlookers and the terrific fireworks display were enjoyed by all. This apartment is well stocked with beach paraphernalia and the cold beer and bottle of Rose in the fridge on our arrival were a also pleasant surprise! This was our favourite stop on our month long adventure in France. Thanks!

A very relaxed two week stay in a spacious apartment in a prime location.

The location is exactly as described situated quietly in the pedestrianised area of Villefranche-sur-mer yet only a hop skip and a jump to the waterfront, cafes restaurants and the train station, The entrance stairway is a little difficult to climb up with cases but we soon got used to going up and down as we came and went during our stay but you do need to watch your step! The apartment was clean and well presented with plenty of linen, a well equipped kitchen, good washing and drying facilities for clothes, and easy free internet connection. I am not sure if I would like to stay in the second bedroom which doesn't have any window but is otherwise spacious and worked perfectly as a place to put our cases and have friends to stay for 3 nights from the U.K. The owners who live in the USA were great to deal with and very helpful in answering all our questions. They particularly recommended a family restaurant called "La Serre" and we visited it a couple of times and found it really great for an in-expensive night out and warm friendly service. Our other favourite was "Les Garcons" - a bit more sophisticated and expensive but excellent food. My hysband enjoys cooking so we ate in quite a lot and found the kitchen and dining area worked really well for us. All in all a very enjoyable stay and we would go back there if we return to Villefranche.

Great apartment in a perfect spot in Old Town Villefranche. We loved our stay here. We were 3 women traveling together and had plenty of room to spread out. Perfect for families or group of women! The apartment was gorgeous, exactly like the pictures you see on the website. Erin the owner was so nice and helpful with questions regarding the area and apartment. The steps are not that bad, I actually found they added charm to the setting. We highly recommend this apartment and would definately stay there again!!!

The Best Vacation Ever

We had a wonderful time and would go back and stay again. The flat was just as it described and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The place was clean and very close to merchants (but not too close), the water area with the restaurants and beach, bus and train. The flat was supplied with anything we would need including an old movie with Grace Kelly which was fun to watch as we did go to Monte Carlo and Monaco. The only thing we would have liked to know about was the front stairs, but we adapted to them. It was fun hanging our clothes out on the line in front and watching the man water clean the cobblestone streets in the morning. All of it was great. Thanks.

We just came back from our trip to France and I cant say enough about how wonderful this apartment is! I couldnt have been more thrilled with the size, location and how clean it was! Its situated close to the waterfront in the old town with the beach and restaurants just steps away. My boyfriend and I traveled with our three kids and we were all more than comfortable. The kitchen is great and has everything you need. The owners are really helpful and made me feel very comfortable as I was a bit nervous not having seen the place first. We look forward to going back next year!
