About this property

Villa Ciany is a charming Provencal, detached family villa with air conditioning set in mature gardens and enjoying magnificent views over the Bay of Villefrance and Cap Ferrat. The villa is situated approximately 10 km from Nice airport, 12 km from Monaco and 24 km from the Italian.

This villa and gardens are south facing and enjoy the sun throughout the day. Being in an elevated position, the views across the Bay of Villefranche are magnificent. The villa benefits from a heated pool, which is serviced throughout the year. There is a covered pergola beside the pool, which is ideal for eating meals out during the warmer months and in the evenings with seating for 8 plus guests. In the pergola, we have a fridge / wine cooler and loungers for use by the pool. A maid or our manager will meet guests on arrival and arrange cleaning etc. A gardener tends the gardens 5 hours a week and will dispose of the refuse. As villa Ciany is within easy traveling distance of Nice, Monaco and the Italian border by car or train, there is plenty to do for each individual taste. The villa is well furnished and in excellent condition. There is a large open space lounge with French doors leading to the terrace, also a spacious dining hall and separate study. A large secure garage is available.

Great Villa / Great Views

We had an incredible time as a family of six in the South of France and staying at Villa Ciany was a big part of our successful vacation. Let’s start with the view. This well-located villa has the truly classic view of Villefranche Bay, Cap Ferrat Peninsula, Beaulieu Bay, and of course the Med. This villa which I believe was built in the late 19th century has certainly stood the test of time in remarkable fashion. There is a lot of space inside and out with three bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms, along with an office that can be used as a bedroom. The common areas include a well-appointed kitchen with everything you could possibly need, for example ,champagne buckets and champagne flutes, wine glasses, kitchen utensils, and it even has the fanciest Nespresso coffee machine that I have ever seen. The home also has a living room with two separate groupings and a television, and a dining room that no one uses because the highlight of the villa is the pergola / pool complex where all our meals were taken when we didn’t go out. The pergola has an outdoor dining table with great views, and has a fridge, wine fridge, and freezer. Adjacent to the pergola and pool are a half bath and shower which comes in very handy after long walks or hours by the pool. We managed to enjoy this property without a car although some may not be able to do so. Finally, the service at this property is fantastic. The owner is responsive, the manager was extraordinarily helpful, and a good caretaker.

Class act on the Cote D’Azur

Very well positioned, appointed and kept villa that felt like home (if home were a villa on the Cote D’Azur). Seamless communication with the owner and a minor electrical glitch was handled by the property manager quickly and professionally. The kitchen is marvelous and the outdoor spaces well designed. Only thing of note is to be aware that you are high on the hill over Villefranche (thus the great view) but means that back and forth to town, while probably very doable most of the year, is a bit of a sweaty challenge in the height of summer. Otherwise, very close to perfect.

What a wonderful villa!

We loved everything about our stay at the villa (except the stairs back up from town!) The charming villa itself, the stunning view, the great communication with the host, the central location for tourist activities, the support from a local representative when we had a minor plumbing problem - all were truly wonderful. Next time, we hope to stay 2 weeks!

Magical trip

My husband, two teen daughters and I had such a fabulous time in Villefranche Sur Mer. The house exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is private without being secluded. The beds are super comfy (which is key for my picky family), the kitchen and bathrooms are perfectly appointed and the garden, pool and outdoor areas are gorgeous. The pictures simply don’t do it justice. We would love to return as a week wasn’t long enough to enjoy the home and all the fabulous places in the area.

Beautiful Villa with gorgeous views

Villa Ciany is just beautiful in every way! Recently renovated, the kitchen, bathrooms and outdoor living space have all the modern conveniences and have been so tastefully done. Magnificent views from almost every room. The gardens are beautiful and so well maintained. The pool area and outdoor pergola are so inviting - you almost never want to leave! All in all a wonderful week in Villefranche-Sur-Mer and Villa Ciany exceeded our expectations.

Dream villa, dream location!

Villa Ciany is absolutely amazing! The property and grounds are pristine and utterly beautiful. The views from the villa cannot be beat and I'm still missing getting up in the morning and being welcomed by the sun and the Mediterranean! Andrew was extremely responsive to all of our questions and needs. you won't find a better stocked kitchen than villa Ciany. It's a wonderful location and a fairly easy walk down to the waterfront of shops and restaurants of Villefranche. (It's a bit tougher coming back up but, we did it!). I want to live here but, since I can't I'll opt to come back and stay in Villa Ciany as often as possible! We had a wonderful time! Highly Recommend!

Great house and location

My family and I-six adults- spent a wonderful week at the Villa Ciany. It overlooks the bay in Villefranche and the view is spectacular. The house is very well equipped with everything you need- especially the kitchen. Villefranche has lots of restaurants and is accessible to other towns along the coast via the regular train service.

Beautiful, relaxing villa!

We just returned from our wonderful stay at Villa Ciany. We have rented numerous villas in southern France and elsewhere, and this is definitely one of the best! Our extended family of 8, ages 15 to 88, were extremely comfortable and happy in this lovely home. The newly-renovated kitchen was the most organized, beautiful, and best-equipped we've encountered. The bathrooms, also newly-renovated, were well-designed and sleek. The beds were SO comfortable - including the fold-out couch, according to my teenagers. Our favorite spot was the wonderful outdoor table under the pergola, where we ate breakfast, lunch, and some dinners - as well as playing cards in the evening. The pool was a perfect size and temperature (be advised there is no shallow end, though, if you have small children). The villa is a short drive from the Villefranche waterfront, tennis courts (to rent), and downtown Nice, and we made daytrips to Eze, Gourdon, and St. Paul-de-Vence. There is a garage for one car but we ended up parking both of our rental cars on the street right outside the upper gate, and never had a problem finding a spot. The owner Andrew was extremely responsive and helpful when we had questions. We walked 7-10 minutes to the bakery and back every morning, and a convenient Casino grocery shop is across the street from the bakery. If you don't like driving on narrow winding streets, you may find the location a bit daunting, but don't let that dissuade you from renting this lovely villa.

Fabulous Family Vacation!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than we had at Villa Ciuny. We were there with our adult and semi-adult children and some partners and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The location is so great that we could go sight seeing all over the Cote d’Azur For half a day and come back to the house to lounge by the pool in afternoons. The house is perfectly stocked with everything we needed. Not one thing wrong. Perfect!!

Beautiful view, good location, spacious villa with a heated pool.

Stunning view to the bay. Quiet neighbourhood, still walking distance (500 m) from boulangerie, boucherie and a Casino shop. 45 min walk to Nice. Villefrance village 500 m (540 steps...). By car the whole french Riviera can be reached easily. The villa is old, historical, but functional and spacious. Separate beds, which were a bit short (190 cm or so), in all but one bedroom was a small minus. Nice kitchen, grill and an outside eating area (with own fridge and freezer!) with stunning view was used daily. We’d return any time!

Beautiful, comfortable, well-located home for a family getaway

My family and I were beyond happy and grateful that we came across this property for our vacation to the French Riviera! The location was fantastic, the cleanliness, the garden, the warm pool, and the gorgeous views all made it so special. We sincerely appreciated the equipment and supplies provided in the kitchen and throughout the home - it made our stay very comfortable and truly felt like it was our home for the week! It also felt very safe with the security measures (e.g., gates, shutters). Having a barbecue to use, and an outdoor fridge were bonuses as well.
