Wake Up To The Sound Of The Waves On The Beach...
Villefranche Vista is a two bedroom two bathroom luxury apartment. Enjoying an elevated south-facing location, it provides stunning views of the bay of Villefranche from the full length balcony, lounge and main bedroom. The balcony is exposed to the sun for most of the day and is perfect for al fresco dining.
The apartment was recently refurbished to a very high standard with marble floors and air-conditioning. Amenities include broadband wifi, a large flat-screen TV and Sonos sound system. The open plan kitchen has an American fridge freezer with ice maker, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. The bedrooms feature double beds with Egyptian cotton linen and big fluffy towels. The main bedroom with sea view has a separate modern bathroom. The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Both bathrooms are supplied with l’Occitane goodies.
Perfectly situated on the edge of the old town, the apartment is a five minute stroll to the restaurants and shops. The beach and train station are a two minute walk.
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a charming 13th century fishing village surrounding one of most beautiful bays in the world. This friendly and artistic town, in the heart of the Côte d’Azur, is one of the few spots on the French Riviera to have retained its old world authenticity and charm.
The old town of Villefranche cascades down the hillside to the water’s edge. Here, you are spoilt for choice with vibrant restaurants and traditional brasseries tucked away in the maze of narrow streets and alleyways.
Villefranche has a beautiful sandy kilometre-long beach and clear blue waters. Bathers take advantage of the average of 300 days of sunshine per year.
The train station provides easy access along the coastal route to Cannes, Antibes, Nice, the medieval village of Eze, Monaco and through to Italy.
Despite being a quiet enclave on the riviera coastline, Villefranche is surrounded by an exciting international scene. The amazing beauty of the village has long attracted the international jet set. Don’t be surprised to see a Hollywood A-lister drinking their morning coffee at the table next to you.

Beautiful space just as pictured with great service from our host and Donna who greeted us on arrival. The location is extremely convenient to catch the train for exploring the Riviera. We really enjoyed the patio and the views are amazing!
A very comfortable apartment with a great view of the Bay of Villefranche. Out of season it is well-situated to travel to other Côte d'Azure locations and Italy.

Perfect location, great apartment, everything we needed, so handy to the train, VilleFranche Sur-Mer beautiful spot. Views were incredible. Great Hosts.
Well designed, well maintained. This is a great location on the coast for access to the TER. Easy to get on/off/up/down the coast. Ville Franche is small but packed with great restaurants. Easy walk to a LOT. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Difficult to find the words to describe the experience of staying at this fantastic, luxurious apartmentThe location is second to none and the access to Nice and the rest of the incredible coast from the train station was greatDonna, The Apartment Manager is fantastic, helping us settle in and responding straight away to any questions that we hadJust go ahead and book it for a once in a lifetime experience Thank you very much
I love this apartment so much! This was my second time staying here - for a month each time. My favorite parts are the balcony, the view, and the location. But the apartment itself is great too. Please see my long review from September 2022 for more details.
We were blown away at the amazing views of the sea from the family room and master bedroom. There is a spacious porch as well where you can sit and watch the water. The apartment is very spacious and clean. Very functional and comfortable. We want to go back! Loved our stay here !
Perfect Riviera location - quaint, quiet and beautiful!
We stayed three nights and enjoyed everything about this place. The beds are comfortable, the patio roomy with plenty of seating and the most magnificent view of the sea. The biggest bonus for us was the train station literally in front of us for easy travel to Monte Carlo and Nice. The train noise is minimal. The birds were louder than the trains. 😂 I even slept on the patio couch one night to listen to the ocean.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment and hope to return someday. Apartment was well laid out for 2 couples or a family. Location was excellent to get to train, beach and restaurants. Villefranche is an excellent homebase to explore the neighbouring cities of the Cote d'Azur. My most memorable feature of the apartment is the Amazing view of the water and town from the spacious balcony. We loved sitting on the balcony where we spent most of our time when we weren't exploring Villefranche and the Cote d'Azur. Would highly recommend this apartment.
This was the perfect weekend get-away after a busy week in Barcelona with our daughter. The apartment is perfectly appointed! The beds were big and comfortable, bathrooms were nice and clean. We spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the beautiful view of the sea. We arrived early and were promptly met by the property manager, we were allowed to drop our bags off while the unit was cleaned. The unit is just above the train station but the trains didn't bother us at all, and it was really convenient when we wanted to travel into Nice or Monaco. The town is so quaint and we really enjoyed the restaurants and shops. 10/10 trip!
This is a very nicely modernised apartment with two good sized bedrooms (with very comfortable beds) and two bathrooms. it is very well equipped and reasonably priced. In fact, the property is better than it looks in the pictures as pictures/mirrors and new outdoor furniture on the balcony have been added.It is a short stroll into town where we bought all we needed from the Casino mini-mart. Plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from too, Le Mayssa was the best place to eat for us. You are next to the train station which is handy although the train do start quite early in the morning. It didn't bother us though. Excellent feedback from the owner and property manager. Overall 10/10!
The apartment has a view that is perfection. There was plenty of space inside for the 3 of us that stayed, but most of our time was spent outside on the balcony. Restaurants, shopping, and train are all in walking distance, and there was no trouble getting an Uber to pick us up as well. Donna the property manager was patiently waiting for us at the property after our plane arrival was an hour late. She walked us through the property and gave us some information on the area.
We were disappointed that there was not a dryer as advertised. There is a washer and a drying rack on the porch. This wasn’t a big deal overall, but did not allow us the opportunity to wash towels if needed as minimal were provided. Also the coffee machine is an espresso machine and I had no idea how to use it or the type of coffee that should be used. Instructions may help.
Overall we felt safe and comfortable! Thank you for letting us enjoy the property.
The apartment is great. It is beautiful, the view is amazing, and the location can't be beat. The communication is always good with the host. I highly recommend it!
Large (2 bathrooms!) apartment with easy access to trains to Nice and Monaco as well as the city center restaurants and beach. The apartment manager was responsive to all our pre arrival messages. Thank you
Very relaxing property with 2 nice bedrooms with ample storage and 2 baths. Apartment on second floor; there is an elevator which we used for baggage. It is quiet. Large living room and beautiful view of the water from one bedroom and also the living room. The balcony was wonderful, perfect for relaxing with guests. The view of the water, boats, and people swimming across the bay is stunning. Proximity to the train station and beach was perfect- 5 minute walk; the vielle ville was about a 10 minute walk. Many restaurants very close by. Donna the property manager was very helpful. I felt very comfortable in this apartment and very safe. I walked to the institut de francais daily, about a 25 minute walk, much of it uphill. I would stay here again if I visit the area.

This place is wonderful
The view in this apt is absolutely amazing. The apt's furniture is very stylish and very clean. We had a great stay. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone without reservation.
The place was like a dream you can hear the water no rental car needed and the train is right there! Check in was easy and we traveled with my wife and teenager. If you are considering French Riviera don’t stay in a nice stay right outside in the village! Perfect location only 1 hour from Italy!
