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

For Unwinding: Explore the cobbled meandering alleys, which open onto the colourful port, noted for its variety of water side restaurants, artists and promenading friends. Enjoy a beach barbecue watching the sun descend in an amber glow over Fort du Mont Alban. Or how about fresh fish, daily, on the harbour just five minutes away. The Citadel, built by the Dukes of Savoy houses a number of museums and art galleries together with an open air theatre/cinema. Jardin I’Octroi is the location for antique markets (Sunday AM) and the regular weekly food market, (Saturday AM). Just 10 mins. by bus and you can spend an afternoon enjoying the street atmosphere of Nice with its boutiques, museums, and Promenade. Take a 'day trip' or a 'night at the opera' in the principality of Monaco 20 mins. to the east. The apartment allows you to enjoy the best of what the Mediterranean has to offer, a perfect combination of modern luxury and relaxation in the heart of a centuries old village on the Cote d’Azur.

For the Energetic: There are a multitude of sea sports in the area including a diving school and sailing school in Villefranche. There is fishing from the rocks or deep sea fishing, canoeing, water skiing, snorkelling, and sailing The Snorkelling is particularly good along the rocks around Cap Ferrat. For hill walkers there are numerous marked routes along the coast line, and in the hills around Eze, La Turbie and Menton all accessible for a days walking from the bus route to Menton or la Turbie. For the more energetic there are higher walks in the Roya valley which is an hour’s train journey to Tende from Nice. Another area is the Vesubie Valley in Haut Provence which is a one hour car trip from Nice, not forgetting the 'hanging Village' of Aspermont.

Wonderful apartment in Villefranche

R.G. Dublin
Review Submitted: November 20, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We really enjoyed our stay in this fantastic apartment. It was clean, spacious and the views from the balcony were breathtaking. The apartment is within walking distance of the beach and the town centre with its many restaurants. You don't really need a car as the bus to Nice stops very near the apartment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone.

Superb Holiday

Review Submitted: June 28, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We were delighted with our choice of this apartment in Villefranche. The town itself is lovely and the apartment is right on the edge of the old town. The instructions to get there are very clear and access to the train and bus service is also close by. The main supermarket (closed on Sundays) is a couple of stops on the bus although there are small ones in Villefranche, plus yummy bread and pastry shops.
The apartment is beautiful and the view over the harbour is wonderful. We used the BBQ a lot and had many pleasant meals on the balcony. The apartment is furnished to a high standard and the kitchen is well equipped.
The main road to Menton runs near the bedrooms. The windows are double glazed but take ear plugs if you think this might be a problem for you. One member of our party of 4 could hear the traffic but the rest of us slept soundly. It is an excellent base to explore the Riviera as it is not as crowded as staying in Nice or Monaco. We are happy to recommend this apartment.

Early spring on the Côte d'Azur

SJFM Ottawa, Canada
Review Submitted: April 11, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
My family and I spent four weeks in March in this comfortable and well kept apartment. Although the apartment was flooded with sunshine, we were happy to have heat at night. Location was excellent for travel by bus and train along the coast. Grocery shopping in the small stores in the town below was a pleasure. Car not necessary. View fantastic!

Superb Appartemnt and Location

the 4 friends Ulm,Germany
Review Submitted: November 13, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed in this wonderful and well equipped appartment for 1 week late October 2008.It´s a great moment when you enter this flat and are surprised and breathtaken by a gorgeous view from the balcony - right across the wonderful bay of Villefranche.Location is excellent, close to the old quarters, good shopping facilities, restaurants, bus stop and train station.We had a car (and found a parking space near by every night) but you dont really need one.Nice is very close but it´s delightful to come back to Villefranche.A lot of great facilities and sights are at hand and at easy access from the flat.
So, can highly be recommended!

Séjour extraordinaire

AlfromCan Longueuil,Québec,Canada
Review Submitted: October 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Je me permet d'écrire en français même si mon anglais est très bon. Il permettra aux gens de pratiquer le français avant leur séjour en France.L'appartement est très bien situé au coeur du vieux Villefranche, à distance de marche de la plage, du train et des restaurants.L vue est tout à fait spectaculaire sur la rade de Villefranche.Le climat y est doux,la mer à perte de vue et les gens très sympathiques.Les chambres sont aménagées pour 4 personnes et de bonnes dimensions avec chacune leur salle de bain.Il est très plaisant de vadrouiller dans les petites ruelles de la ville à la recherche de plaisirs gustatifs ou visuels.Le train à proximité donne accès aux principales villes de la côte.Le stationnement est limité mais nous avons toujours trouvé un espace libre pour l'auto.This place is an perfect location if you want to explore the coast by car or by train.It is a small town but people there will let you experience "joie de vivre" the French way.Learn a bit of french language and you will have a better experience discussing with them about their great country.This should be an extraordinary life experience.Sue you were very welcoming
