We had a wonderful stay in Villefranche. Hede was wonderful in welcoming us and providing all the details and information to help us make the most of our time in the south of France. The apartment is well equipped, comfortable, and the view from the terrace is amazing. Thank you for an exceptional experience!!!
Had a lovely stay. We used as a home point for day trips. Easy access to the train. Villefranche had many nice restaurants. Would recommend for a stay in the French Riviera
great location. walkable to everything. while the kitchen was well stocked, we needed more paper products- including toilet paper which we purchased ourselves. We also could have used more towels. air is a great location but noisy as it faces the street. the balcony was the sweet spot to spend time.
The apartment is as represented and was very comfortable for our four week stay. It is very well located, splitting the distance between the language school and the sea-front. The terrace is very nice and the view to the bay and the sea is mesmerizing.

This is a really nice apartment in a great location. Close to town (and the bakery!). Communications and check-in were really easy. The apartment has everything you need.
The property was lovely and the location was perfect. Easy walking to groceries and libations as well as restaurants. The terrace made the stay. Morning coffee and evening drinks with local wine cheese and sausages. Beach was just a short walk away.
And the welcoming flowers and wine ser the stage for a lovely stay.
Good location, spacious apartment with 2 good bathrooms
Well equipped initial problem with no internet and no tv but resolved on 3rd day and compensation offered so ok
Nice balcony with lovely view
Such a wonderful place and host. Views from patio are as if we were in a fairytale! Great communication and responsiveness from host through the stay, even through unplanned little hiccups that’s came our way. Would for sure stay again when we come back to the south of France! Thank you!

The perfect apartment for enjoying the Cote d' Azur
My boyfriend and I spent 8 nights in this great apartment. The view from the spacious terrace is spectacular. The location is perfect. Close to everything: Train station, beach, bus stop and a fabulous Patisserie that is less than a 5 minute walk away. The property manager, Sue, was very helpful upon our arrival with mapping out locations for restaurants, markets and things to do. We will definitely be back!

We're delighted that Sherri and boyfriend enjoyed the features, location and Sue's assistance. Eamon & Eileen
My husband and I loved our stay in Villefranche at this property! It was everything I was looking for in a centrally located property. The highlight was the large balcony with an expansive view of the water and the village.
This location was close to bus and train transport. Only minutes away from dining and the water.
We will return to this property again! I highly recommend it.

The Perfect Location to Enjoy The Côte D'Azur
We returned again this year to this lovely apartment in Villefranche. The location is ideal for exploring the Côte D'Azur. The apartment is clean and well appointed. The terrace has breathtaking views of the Bay of Villefranche and is the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. The area is quiet and close to everything, including the tourism office, the market and patisserie. We will be back.

A fabulous place for a vacation
We were absolutely delighted with our stay here.
The apartment is wonderful--even better than it appears in the pictures. It was spacious, spotless and had all the amenities you could possibly need. The terrace has spectacular views day and night and is a lovely spot to sit and relax after a day of sightseeing. Villefranche is a beautiful village and is perfectly situated to visit all the cities along the coast quickly and easily by train. But the best part is returning to your own little "home" at the end of the day.
I would highly recommend this apartment.

About the host
Hosted by Eamon
Eileen and I live in Ireland, north of Dublin. As we are in our mid seventies, retired and our family grown-up we lead a less stressful life and enjoy hill walking and travel. We visit Villefranche three to four times a year thanks to Ryan Air!!! We have always loved holidaying in France, having taken many 'gite' holidays with the children. We love their food, their life style, the brightness / light of the South of France and particularly the friendliness of the Nicoise.
Why they chose this property
In 2005 we were fortunate in buying 'Eclat de Couleur'. We chose this apartment because of its wonderful Sea View Terrace and its location being close to restaurants, shops and bus stops in the Old Town of Villefranche and being on the Cote d'Azur. It is bright and airy. The terrace is a wonderful sun trap with the enchanting colours of the Bay, the Terracotta of the Old Town roofs against the pine forests of the Cap Ferrat. It has an excellent location being a five minute walk to the shops, restaurants and bus stop and ten minutes to the sandy beach. A bus every fifteen minutes to Nice or Monaco at 2€ per trip gives you excellent opportunities for day trips.
What makes this property unique
What attracted us to this apartment:- the proximity of a sandy south facing beach, The private south eastern facing balcony with the vibrant view of Villefranche Bay and an excellent location being 10 mins from Nice. It allows us to holiday without a car, choosing instead public transport for day trips along the coast or inland exploring the valleys of Maritime Provence. Buses are cheap, clean and frequent. The apartment is a great base for day-trips. Popular trips are Monaco, Nice for shopping, art galleries, Promenade des Anglais, the Old Town and Flower Market. Further afield there is St Paul de Vence for art, Cannes and its Croisette, Ventimiglia and San Remo (Italy) for their market A walk to Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild for its villa, formal gardens and fountains, not forgetting a coffee and a choice of the best gateaux on the Cote d'Azur is always worthwhile. Being avid hill walkers we love to head off on the bus up to the hills behind Nice, La Turbie or Menton. On Summer evenings another favorite is to grab the swimming gear, pick up a bottle of wine and pizza and head for the beach and enjoy the setting sun over Mont Albion and the waves lapping the sea shore. During the Winter season we have enjoyed classical concerts and an opera from the varied programs in Nice, Monaco and Cannes.
