Artistes Tresor - beautiful village apartment with terrace and view over the sea

A stunning view! The location is perfect being right in the heart of the old town. We loved the local beach and very much enjoyed the coastal walks with dramatic scenery along the cliffside. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and well appointed with pretty much everything we needed to hand. We particularly enjoyed the surrounding eateries, with special mention to the ice cream bar at the bottom of the stairs which also served delicious crepes. All in all we enjoyed a delightful week in Villefranche-sur-mer.

Had a lovely time in Villefranche; lovely to be so central, in the old town and with a sea view.

The apartment was just as the photo's.

It was great that the apartment had a store cupboard of herbs and oils which were very useful if you decided to eat in and enjoy the sea view, without having to go out. Although there are many restaurants; 5 within a few paces of the main entrance.

With being in the old town, the area is car free so quiet from vehicular traffic.

Lovely to have 3 bakeries within a short walk, so could start the morning with a freshly baked croissant sitting on the balcony planning the day.

Public transport was frequent and inexpensive so made it easy to explore the local area, and with the train station within easy walking distance it was also inexpensive to explore further afield such as Monaco.

Really appreciated the apartment having beach towels, snorkelling and other beach accessories. We used the beach at Villefranche and others on Cap Feret. The sea was amazingly clear and plenty of fish to see.

We (a family of six) had a wonderful week's stay in Villefranche and Artistes Tresor. The flat is perfectly located in the old town with easy access to shops, restaurants, beaches, and public transportation.

We'll be back :-)

If you are looking for an atmospheric spot to be a base for your excursions in the Nice area, Villefranche sur Mer is a great location, and this property is a great place to stay in the town. There are about a dozen restaurants within a block, along with an ice cream stand literally right at the door at the bottom of the stairs. The view from the deck is fabulous. Short walks to bus stop and train station. The villa is comfy and clean, with two refrigerators and a competent kitchen well stocked with utensils, etc. Beds, couch, reclining chair all are comfy. Air conditioner on the wall near the deck keeps most of the villa cool even in hot weather. Mattie the owner has plans to add an air conditioner in the back bedrooms, which we think would be a great addition for summer renters, as it was pretty hot and muggy outside for part of our stay in late June. Sue, her agent in the area, was great to work with, and she arranged airport transportation for our four-person party that was economical and timely. All in all, we had a great time and highly recommend this property.

The apartment was very spacious, nicely decorated and had amazing views of the bay. It was really nice seeing the very expensive yachts arriving.

The apartment was very well placed amongst the restaurants and I can't imagine a better location!

Sue and Mattie were very helpful arranging our transport and telling us where everywhere is and the best places to go.

Quick train ride to the Monaco Grand Prix.

Will definitely return
