This is the best located apartment in Villefranche sur Mer as it has 5 windows overlooking the port and beachfront. It is near all the restaurants but very quiet. The apartment is luxuriously decorated with pink marble en suites and an independent large bathroom overlooking the bay. It is so close to the water that it is like living on a boat ! Each of the 3 bedrooms are large and two are en suite. The main bedroom overlooks the port. There are no stairs to climb as it is entered off Rue Poilu so is suitable for the infirm. At the waterfront it is 2 floors above the cobbled street which is a cul de sac. The area is over 2100 sq. ft. (205 sq. met) and is therefore larger than most houses but is laid out in the best possible way to ensure light floods all rooms. This is an exceptional property .... called ' The Seagulls' .
