Such a perfect house in the heart of Villefrance-sur-Mer. Was an easy quick walk to the beach, restaurants, old town, train station and Fort du Mont Alban. The location could not be better for visiting all the neighbouring towns like Menton, Monaco, St Paul de Vence, Nice, Ventimiglia, Cap Ferrat. The house was super clean, comfortable and spacious for myself, my daughter, mother and sister. We had a parking spot which was fabulous for our rental car and a nice little pool to cool off in after a long day of walking. Thank you to Ken and Julie for making everything so easy and fabulous!!!

The villa is lovely, full of character, very well equipped; the photos don't do it justice.It's split over 3 levels: there's a basement entrance accessed through a gate from the lower part of the road, with shower and toilet, and cloakroom area. On the ground floor, there is a very comfortable lounge and well appointed dining room, a well equipped kitchen and another WC. Outside, there is a large terrace that wraps around the house, with plenty of patio furniture, sun loungers etc, as well as the much appreciated swimming pool - which was bigger than we expected. There's an additional gate to the road and entry to the house at this level.Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms (mattresses are on the firm side), each with air-conditioning, and a lovely bathroom.A few other reviews have mentioned road noise, which is valid. The villa is situated in a bend on a narrow road that climbs steeply, so vehicles would pass twice as they rounded the corner. Motorbike noise was most noticeable but it did go quiet during the night so didn't disturb sleep.Its also worth mentioning that Villefranche is built into a steep hill, so there is a bit of a climb to get back from the beach! This was fine for us, but if you had fitness / mobility issues, the location of the villa might give you some challenges (unless you had a car - there is a parking space available).Communication with Ken and Julie was excellent.Thoroughly recommend - we had a fantastic week here.

Lovely location and villa.

Overall, the stay was great and we had a lovely week at the villa. The location is perfect, just slightly set back from the sea, but only a 10 minute walk from the town. Great stay and would definitely return.

Wonderful week

Having been to Villefranche many times we chose this villa because of the perfect location for shops, public transport and easy walk to the Old Town. The villa was clean and airy, plenty of room for the 6 of us. We all enjoyed the pool and sun terrace which caught the sun most of the day.We had a wonderful week

Lovely House and location.

Beautifully presented traditional French property. Pool is a good size but did lose the sun from 3-3.30pm. Located on the corner of an uphill road which means there is some traffic noise. Excellent position for accessing the lovely town of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the vast quantity of restaurants on foot. Train station very easy to access and use. Nice very close by road, along with a larger supermarket. Good mini supermarkets in Villefranche along with multiple boulangeries. Would recommend and will definitely come back.

An excellent place to stay in Villefranche . Easy access to so many places , the town on foot and long swathes of the French Riviera by bus or train from the town . The house itself in general met all of our needs , excellent value and great communications from both the owner and the property manager . All of the party certainly said they would go again if in the area

Authentic stay in Villefranche

The house is actually nicer than the pictures. We had two older couples and having a parking space was ideal. It’s an older home, and we had an issue with hot water, and it was attended to promptly. As with most rental homes, the house is not ready til 4. Taking an overnight flight from Montreal and not being able to have access To a bed til 4 is very difficult with an 81 year old husband.

Great property and convenient location. Car not required as can walk to shops, bars, restaurants and railway station. Steep walk back to property so you get fit as well. Pool is amazing and needed for a cool down even in May. House has everything you need, very comfortable and spacious. Awesome shower. BBQ great.

Lovely house

We were 5 adults in the house in Villefranche. The house was perfect for us. Kitchen was Well equipped. Very nice bathroom upstairs and another bathroom downstairs. Extra toilet on the groundfloor. Great bedrooms. Nice and cool in the house. Cosy terrasse and poolarea. Seaview. We loved the house and grounds and highly recommend a stay there. You should be aware, though, that the house is situated in a street with some traffic during the day.

We had a great week-long stay at this beautiful villa in Villefranche Sur Mer.It was clean, has very good facilities (air conditioning throughout, 2 bathrooms and a W/C, ample space with a lounge, it's own pool, a parking space, etc, etc), and is well located, with shops, a couple of bakeries and eateries within a few minutes walk and a beach, more shops and restaurants within ten minutes walk (albeit it is hilly and the walk back is all up-hill).There was great communication from Kenneth the property owner and Julie who does the handover. She and her mother also gave some very helpful advice of where to go and what to do.The only minor annoyances were that the boiler regularly needed resetting (otherwise there was no hot water) and there was a lot of debris (leaves and dead flowers) from the trees in the garden that ended up in the pool. There was a net to fish this out with, but it had no pole, so you couldn't get the stuff off the bottom. I think these issues especially stuck out as everything else was so well considered and this was otherwise a great place to stay.

Great house & pool in lovely Villefranche-sur-Mer

We booked this property for the second half of our French holiday ( family of 5 including 3 teenage children). We were delighted with our choice of property & location. Villefranche is idyllic- so much nicer than it’s close neighbor Nice, whilst still being ideally placed to explore the rest of the Riveria if desired ( which we did). The house and pool were better in reality than as described . The detail, attention & pride the owners have in their property is clearly evident. This is a well equipped and well looked after house & pool. The air con is fantastic after a hot day. Communications with Ken were straightforward throughout the process. Thank you Ken & your lovely wife for all your help. The on-site team of Julie, her lovely mum & Patrick the pool man were super to deal with & very kind to us. We would highly recommend this charming property & excellent location!

Wonderful City Centre Villa

The villa is a beautiful example of a French city villa. Located on a fairly busy road this villa has amazing access to Villefranche Sur Mer. The bedrooms and main bathroom are located on the top floor with beautiful high ceilings and cool stone floors. The bathroom has been recently refurbished and has the best shower with lots of piping hot water! The lounge, dining room and kitchen are on the ground floor with direct access to the patio area and pool. Pool would benefit from heating as it was a bit cold for our liking but was incredibly clean and the pool and gardens are attended to mid-week. Julie met us on arrival and spent time telling us about everything. She has some great ideas for restaurant's in the area and even some in Nice. The villa was incredibly clean on arrival which made us feel at home straight away. The location of the villa and also the surrounding area means that there is a lot of steep hills and steps? We certainly came back fitter than when we left. To sum it up, this is an amazing villa in a beautiful central location. Thank you to Julie & Ken for an amazing vacation.
