From the owner

Welcome to our page for our charming two bedroom apartment available for holiday rental in the picturesque town of Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera.

In the heart of the Old Town, this family-owned rental apartment is just 150 metres from the colourful, working harbour – widely acclaimed to be one of the most beautiful bays in the Mediterranean. The apartment is also close to a wonderful choice of bars and restaurants….from casual takeaways to Michelin award-winning eateries.

The air-conditioned, third floor apartment sleeps four and has two bedrooms (one double and one twin). There is also a double sofa bed. The fully equipped kitchen also has a washing machine for our guests' convenience. The large Lounge/Diner opens up onto a balcony. There is WiFi at the apartment.

Villefranche-sur-Mer is a delightful, historic French fishing town on the Cote d'Azur, steeped in history but with all the conveniences of the 21st century. A short journey from Nice and Monaco and a 45 minute drive from Italy, renting an apartment in Villefranche-sur-Mer is the ideal place to base yourself for your holiday in the South of France.

With a warm climate, beautiful beach and year-round azure skies, Villefranche-sur-Mer is host to many festivals, markets and events throughout the year. With its roots dating back to medieval times and a heritage of French and Italian occupation, the architecture is inspired and breathtaking.

Bedding is provided but towels are not (please bring your own).

With so much to see and do, one week won't be enough!

Note - there is a refundable £500 security deposit required & a cleaning/sheet washing of £130 per booking.

Please check and confirm you booking with me (Fraser Macdonald) before you book your flights.

Please note that there 3 flights of stairs to the apartment (no lift).

Located in the heart of the Old Town this rental apartment in Villefranche-sur-Mer is ideally positioned. Close to all the local amenities and transport links as well as being just 100 yards from the harbour.

The temperate climate, sandy beaches, and ambiance of Old Town in Villefranche-sur-Mer make this enchanting town a popular tourist destination.

The natural beauty and topography of Villefranche-sur-Mer has also made this a favourite location for film directors. Films made here include The Jewel of the Nile with Michael Douglas, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine, Diamond Geezer starring David Jason and Ronin with Robert de Niro.

Attracting a cosmopolitan group of residents and visitors, Villefranche-sur-Mer has still retained its core character and local culture and is one of the most charming villages on the French Riviera in the heart of the Cote D'Azur.

The apartment is in the Old Town of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Old town is a wonderful labyrinth of tiny streets with limited automotive access.

Check-in & Check-out times:

Please make sure that you leave the apartment by 11am. Guests can arrive at the apartment after 3pm. You are able to leave your cases in the upstairs landing if you intend to leave after 11am or arrive before 3pm.

    Smoking

    No smoking at this property

    House rules

    This apartment is for all ages however it should be noted that there are 42 steps up to the apartment so if you have difficulty with stairs then this apartment is not for you. One quickly gets used to the stairs and they are a good way of exercising off the alcohol and extra holiday calories!

    Although we do not allow smoking in the apartment there is a balcony where smoking is permitted and we supply an ashtray for smoking on the balcony.

    Response from the owner
    Thank you Wendy for your review. I am glad you enjoyed your visit. When we first purchased the apartment it did not have air conditioning and it was one of the first changes we made. I agree, it is a godsend! We do have a hairdryer for guests to use so I am not sure what has happened with that. I will check for it when I am next at the apartment.

    Response from the owner
    Many thanks for your review. There are 42 steps which are a little steep. There were no lifts in the 17th century when this apartment block was built. This can't be changed but we clearly state about the steps in the advert.

    A great holiday location in itself but also a great launching pad to explore Riviera

    Villefranche-sur-Mer is both charming and more tucked away than busier Nice and Monte Carlo. The flat is close to shops, beach and, above all, the railway station. I discovered that (at least in mid… More

    I'm really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have built up the DVD collection over 14 years and take DVDs every time we go. There are probably 200+ films.
