Very central. : Villefranche is very central to all the exciting areas along the Cote d'Azur. It is located on the coast road between Nice and Monaco and is particularly suitable for children as the station and buses are very close . Villefranche is a very historic location .... walk along 'Rue Obscure' to get some idea of France in the 14 the century. There are 2 old forts . The Old Town (4 minutes walk) has a bakery, small supermarket, newsagent, pub, many restaurants , art galleries etc. This is not just a tourist village ... most of the occupants live there.
Free parking: The kitchen and bathrooms are fitted out to the highest standard. The most impressive feature is the commanding view and the quiet location yet close to all the restaurants and shops. Parking outside is in a garage and on the road if you have a second car. Shopping can be in the Old Town or a bigger supermarket in Beaulieu-sur-Mer (1 stop) , next to the train station.

Why Jonathan Aird chose Villefranche-sur-Mer
The reason for this property is the location. It is genuinly in the best
part of the best village on the Cote d'Azur and one strong feature is the proximity to restaurants , shops etc.
What makes this villa unique
Benefits are 1. Fully restored , 2. Location
Many clients rent wonderful large villas up on the hills and then realise that a car is needed for everything. The following year they rent near the village / beach !
This villa has been rented for 4 years.
Guestbook comments from the manager
A SPECIAL THANK YOU:
Regarding our trip, my family was extremely satisfied with both of your Oursinade Villa & Seagulls Apartment properties. They were beyond all of our expectations on how good they were and how comfortably we felt staying there. Thank You.
Our trip was beyond outstanding, and Gaston and his son were absolutely fantastic hosts for us. His connections and his taking care of us in very special ways helped make our trip experiences outstanding. Please extend my thanks to him for a job well done.
Members of our family are already talking about going back and staying at either units and for a smaller group would stay at the Seagulls Apartment because of its special appeal and location.
Thanks again and I am personally glad that we were able find you on Home Away and rent your properties.

Excellent!

Great View, Great Location!
The view is much better than what you can see in the pictures.
The location is nearly perfect - very, very close to public and private beaches, but also very close to the old village for restaurants, bakery, groceries, etc. Coming back to the villa does include a bit of a climb, but that climb is what affords the stunning views. Not only is the villa walking distance from the beach and village, but it is in a great location along the coast and close to a very convenient train, which can save some driving headaches. We twice bought day passes for the pool/beach at the nearby Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat, which was absolutely breathtaking. We also took the train to Eze Bord du Mer to hike the Nietzsche Trail up to Eze - this is probably one of the more beautiful hikes anywhere in the world. It is also possible to take the train very easily to Monaco or Cap d'Ail.
We had so much fun, we asked if we could stay another week and just abandon our full payment for the next villa we were scheduled to visit.
The house is newly renovated and in good condition. The bathrooms are modern and nice. Jonathan was a great host.
If i had to mention some negatives, the worst I could think of would be:
-The wifi really only works on the main floor of the three floors.
-The top floor master bedroom (there are two masters) is stunning, but would be even more stunning if the windows could be opened 100%, rather than just partially.
-The pool is a bit small, but with the sea just 4-5 minutes walk, this didn't matter.
Our favourite villa in Villefranche!
This superb villa is quietly located near the old town. Very tasteful decor and furnishings. Among other items, air conditioning, satellite TV, internet, washing machine ... It has 5 spacious bedrooms and a balconies with wonderful views of the Old Port of Villefranche. The beach, shops, the market and restaurants are just a few minutes walk away. The villa is an ideal starting point to explore the streets and get to know the surroundings. Everything is just a stone's throw away. The nearby station connects you to all the cities and attractions of the Côte d'Azur.
Amazing place & trip!
This villa was superb and had world class views. Location is perfect as walking distance to Old Port and railway. A car is not required. Very clean and well laid out and management were very helpful.
Villefranche is the most amazing location.... very old streets and great restaurents.
Very memorable
Property was great. Experience was disappointing.
Beware!
Money was stolen from inside the house on the day of departure. Someone was able to sneak in to the house, lock the bedroom door from the inside and remove money from my Jacket and then slip out by the patio without being noticed.
Wonderful Villa, Best Location
This villa is amazing. We stayed over Christmas 2014. There was 2 families , 8 in total. The villa is set on 3 levels and is equipped with everything you need. The views are to die for looking over the bay at Villefranche and out to Cap Ferat. We did a tour with Premium Riviera Tours which was great, they picked us up at the door and dropped us back. The train line is right near the villa so it is easy to go to Nice,Monaco, Menton and even Italy !! The supermarket in Nice -Carrefour -even did a free drop off of all our shopping which was a great help. The area is very hilly and there is lots of steps/stairs so wear flat shoes as you will get plenty of exercise. Villefranche Village is medieval so there is small alleyways and a maze of streets but it is absolutely beautiful.We eat/shopped quite a lot in the village with everybody being so welcoming. The villa does seem expensive ,but when you work out the price per person and for why you get it actually isn't. We had a wonderful time and will treasure precious memories of the time we had.Would highly recommend.
Oursinade in Villefranche
After twenty-six of travelling the world, my husband & I can now say that we had the trip of a lifetime. We spent seven weeks in Villefranche, on the French Riviera, in an absolutely spectacular villa - L'Oursinade. I write a monthly cooking column & required a good, modern kitchen; indeed, I got the perfect, large granite workplace that I needed with a window looking out to the Mediterranean. The bathrooms are beautifully renovated in creamy marble & all 3 levels have soaring ceilings with views over the sea. We look forward to our return visit next year & highly recommend this villa to any prospective renters.
Map
Villefranche is considered the most picturesque village on the Cote d'Azur and is located between Nice and Monaco with a fascinating Old Town + port. The villa is only a 3 minute walk to the beach and 4 minutes to the port. Villefranche is truly one of the world's great locations and this villa is in the best part ..... quiet, sunny, world class view and easy walk to the train. Bakery, and supermarket are also nearby. A car is not needed here although there is a garage + plenty of free parking outside. Cap Ferrat is on the opposite side of the bay and Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a 15 min walk along the seafront.
Other Activities: All beach activities.
Golf: There are several golf courses nearby.
Ski: Skiing is good from December - March and is 90 km away in Auron, Isola or Limona
