Photos and Description of the Villefranche-sur-Mer vacation apartment rental
3 Double Bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 8

This is the best located apartment in Villefranche sur Mer as it has 5 windows overlooking the port and beachfront . It is 70 metres from the restaurants and is very quiet. The apartment is luxuriously decorated with pink marble en suites and an independent large bathroom with a bath 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 2000 sq. ft. (180 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' . Changeover day Saturday but flexible from october on.

Large apartment overlooking Port of Villefranche: Best apartment in Villefranche. The 3 bedroom apartment is very large and has a u shaped layout. Built in 1820 (and traversing Rue Obscure, dating from the 13th century) , the entrance has bedroom 1 to the left (2 single beds) , then a fully fitted Kitchen with a basement off , housing the air-conditioning, ironing, washer and dryer. Beyond the lower hall is the main room. Bedroom 2 and 3 each have huge sleigh beds with ensuite bathrooms. The main bedroom has 2 windows overlooking the port. Everything in the apartment is new , with a very high standard of furniture, bedding, curtains, fabrics, flooring etc. The 3 bathrooms are clad in Pink Portugese Marble and the main bathroom has a high back bath at the window overlooking the port ! All bathrooms have walk-in showers. Floors are Oak and the furniture is French Provencale style . The kitchen is Cream Provencale with a tiled floor. Total area is over 2000 sq. feet making this the largest apartment in the Old Town .

The Seagulls : The location is unbeatable as it has 5 windows to the front (+ 6 at the back) and there are no stairs to climb. There are 2 balconies to the front . One is fitted with table and chairs. All ceilings are high as it was constructed from 3 old apartments made into one ! The main building dates from 1720 and Rue Obscure (underneath) from 13 th century . The basement has a separate entrance for bicycles etc if required.

A car is not necessary in Villefranche. However there is a public car park 120 yards away (€ 8 / day) and a free car park on the old Citadel (300 yds away) .

Elegance by the sea

5 of 5
Submitted: January 28, 2009 Stayed: January 2009
Brian, Dublin
Just came back from Villefranche - the apartment is fabulous, very bright airy
and comfortable. It is in very traditional French setting with the charm of a
beautiful pedestrianised street to enter the apartment and the sheer beauty of
being less than 10m from the sea on the balconies. It is ultra luxurious and
spacious, just a pity we had to come home. Beds extremely comfortable and
everything needed for an enjoyable time to be found in the cupboards or the
basement.

We hope to return there in the future and would recommend it highly, whatever
the price.

Seagulls beyond expectations

Submitted: June 7, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Hi Jonathon,

I wanted to thank you for our exceptional accommodations in Villefranche. It was above and beyond our expectations. WE really cant say enough great things about The Seagulls. Everything was perfect, so with that, thank you!!!!!


Also, I may have left some artwork that I purchased while in VilleFranche in the apt. – 3 pieces to be exact, two small water colors and one mid size acrylic piece. Will you please check with your cleaning service to see if they were found, If so, I would be happy to send you my FedEx number so they could be shipped to me?!?

Again, we will all be in touch, as we plan on returning to Villefranche in the future.

Thank you again for the lovely accommodations.

Apartment Seagulls

Submitted: February 26, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
As we approach our last week of study at L'Insitut, and with it, our last week in your Seagulls
Apartment, I wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the beautiful, gracious and well-serviced place you have created here.

The apartment is lovely, well-equipped and well-maintained. And your service team--Gaston, his son Emmanuel, and Rada have all been terrific. Thank you.

I would very much like to reserve The Seagulls for next February (or have the right of first refusal,) if that is possible. Could you please advise?

Again, so many thanks for these truly excellent and memorable accommodations in the old town of VIllefranche!

Fantastic Thanksgiving in Cote d'Azur

Fantastic Thanksgiving in Cote d'Azur
5 of 5
Submitted: December 2, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
My wife and I spent 15 fantastic days in Cote d'Azur staying in "The Seagulls" apartment in Villefranche-sur-mer. One thing I can say is that the information describing the apartment is excellent and it lives up to everything said about it. We had friends visit for one of the weeks and it was very comfortable for two couples. It can easily accomodate 3 couples with three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and the kitchen and living rooms are very large and spacious. The maid is also great!

I rented a car, but one is not needed and a bit of a liability driving in the very narrow streets, also parking can be challenging with large cars. The train station is very convenient and inexpensive, it is definitely the way to go in season. We took the train into Nice (two stops) frequently and also to Ventimiglia, Cannes, Antibes, La Napoule, and elsewhere. The restaurants in Villefranche are quite good, but it is also nice to dine in Nice and elsewhere using the train to avoid needing to worry about your wine intake.

Wow!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2009 Stayed: May 2009
We (2 couples) spent a week and hated to leave. The location is marvelous. Overlooking the bay, great restaurants steps away, really easy access. And, if you know Villefranche, you know that to be able to go out the door and find a market (small) a few doors away is pretty remarkable. It is decorated elegantly, but casually -- very inviting. The spaces are really good, too. Very large main living room -- large kitchen -- beautiful bathrooms. Can't wait to return.

We took the train over from Nice (after arriving by TGV from Paris) and got out at the Villefranche station -- and it was a really easy walk from there. Really a convenient location for everything. Including the beach. Loved it!
