Photos and Description of the Villefranche-sur-Mer vacation apartment rental

Two waterfront apartments, beautifully renoavated and decorated, in a great old town location, in one of Villefranche's most historic buildings. Each apartment is uniquely decorated and has a great balcony to enjoy dining or sunning with 200 degree views across the whole bay & Cap Ferrat. The views are breathtakingly beautiful, and the boat and people scene right below and in front of you are constant entertainment. A unique combination of intimacy and privacy yet in the midst of it all. At night you are lulled to sleep by the waves lapping on the shore and the trickle of the lion fountain in the plaza below the bedroom window. A very quiet yet convenient location in the old town. Steps from the front door you have everything: shops, train station, beach, restaurants, great walks and more. If you are attending the Institute Francais, it is a short and beautiful walk to this world renowned French language school. A beautiful, romantic getaway. A great old town living experience.

Details for Jewel-box

When you open the front door of the apartment, you are greeted with bright sun shine and the beautiful azur Mediterranean sea. Our guests tell us it is an amazing welcome. This one bedroom, one bath apartment with one of the most lovely balconies and views on the Bay of Villefranche is newly renovated and decorated with lovely antiques, beautiful original art from Villefranche's most recognized artist, and all the comforts you would want to make your holiday superb. The decor is bright, comfortable, uplifting. The lighting is romantic and dreamy. Your eyes are constantly pulled outside to the beautiful bay and the scene that is constantly unfolding below you. You are in the heart of it all, yet with great privacy and intimacy. The apartment is very well designed. Whether sitting at the dining table, or laying on the sofa, or sitting and reading, you have a beautiful, unobstructed view of the bay, the beach, and Cap Ferrat. Even from the bathroom, you have a great view.

Nearest ferry:   Nice Old Port at 3 Kilometres
Nearest motorway:   Nice Est at 6 Kilometres
Nearest beach:   beach at 50.0 Metres
Car: not necessary

Located on the waterfront, in the best part of the old town, at the end of one of the main pedestrian streets, where it is all residential, yet incredibly convenient to everything. Restaurants are about a 50 meter walk away, the beach about 50 - 100 meters (depending on where you go), and the shops start at about 50 meters away as well. This is a very residential area filled with many lovely Villefranchoise families. You will get a truly 'old town French' experience. The apartments are located on the 4th & 5th floor from sea level. But you enter the building on the 3rd floor so it is just one flight of stairs to the Jewel-box and one additional, inside the apartment, to the Penthouse. The sea front balconies are very private and romantic. You do not need a car. However, if you want a car, parking is available close by. Public transport is superb. If you are attending the superb French language Institute, Institut Francais, it is a lovely 10-15 mins. walk from the apartments.

Notes: This apartment is a romantic casually elegant apartment. It is for couples looking for a get away. It is not ideal for families with kids. This is where you want to relax and enjoy being with your partner. The space is small - about 500 square feet or 40 square meters. It is perfect for 2 people or someone travelling on their own. Yes, there is room for an occasional guest as the sofa is a sofa bed -- but everyone who has come with 2 couples or with kids have all said they wish they could have been there just on their own. If you are attending the French language institute, Institut Francais, it is an easy 10 minute walk from the waterfront up to the Institute. The advantage of staying in the old town is that it's where all the shops, restaurants, and cafes are located, and so it's where students congregate at the end of the day. Rather than climb the hill late in the evening, you are only steps from your apartment in the heart of a very French village.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

About Villefranche sur Mer: Great beach, fabulous swimming, great walks, exquisite scenery, wonderful restaurants, and lots to explore in our little triangle of beauty (Villefranche, Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat). Take a walk around the old town, around the water's edge walk of the citadel to the Port de la Darse, where boats have and continue to be built for over 500 years. Walk up to the Moyenne Corniche and follow the path up to Mont Boron to Fort Alban and come down the hillside back into Villefranche. Or take one of the prettiest walks in the world, from your doorstep in Villefranche, around the water's edge of Cap Ferrat -- a great day trip with a picnic and swim along the way. Or enjoy the SANDY beach of Villefranche and the wonderful swimming, or linger over a great lunch in one of the seaside restaurants or beach restaurants with a bottle of chilled rose wine. Or walk to Villa Keryolos or Villa Rothschild and take in these exquisite beauties. There is so much to do in our little triangle.

Things to do in the area: But should you get bored with our little triangle, you can hop the train and head to Cannes or Antibes or take the bus to Nice. Cannes is great for shopping, as is Nice. Antibes is great to explore, have lunch, tour the marina and look at all the amazing yachts. Or take the train or bus to Monaco or Menton -- both fabulous in different ways. In Monaco, we love the Oceanographic Institute, exploring the old town, visiting the castle, exploring the Exotic garden and it's incredible grotto (a must for kids -- but adults will also have fun), the casino area and its gardens, the gorgeous Japanese garden and just 'hanging out' in Monaco -- it's such a scene! And then there is lovely Menton -- a fabulous old town, a lovely seaside. And then of course there is old Nice, the Promenade des Anglais and the several days you could spend exploring there. And we haven't even touched on St. Paul de Vence, Grasse, Vence, Eze or some of the other fabulous places within 30 min or less of here.

And there is more.....: If you like to golf, there are some great golf courses in Monaco (unbelievable view over the Med) or Mougins, Cannes, and around. There is scuba diving, sailing, cycling (Lance Armstrong has called this place home -- still hangs out here), and great great walking. St. Tropez, the Var, Gorges du Verdon, Vallee du Roya, Italy, Corsica, Provence -- it is all close by yet you will always love coming back to Villefranche from wherever you visit because it is calm, embracing, nourishing -- a village with a great lifestyle. This is a very kid friendly place but also a great place to be if you are a romantic couple just wanting to hang out or a retired couple wanting to experience living here for a while. Even as an expatriate you can integrate here quickly as there are alot of expats here. And the French also enjoy mingling with the expat community.
