From the owner

Possibly the best apartment in Villefranche. Very large and with a U shaped layout. Built in 1720 and traversing Rue Obscure, dating from the 13th century. Entry is off Rue Poilu without any stairs to climb. There is also a separate area for washing facilities etc.

Everything in the apartment is new, with a very high standard of furniture, bedding, curtains, fabrics, flooring etc.The total area is c. 2000 sq. feet making this one of the largest apartment in the Old Town.

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 traverses Rue Obscure underneath

Although the apartment is on the second floor from the port side, the entrance is on ground level from Rue du Poilu, meaning that there are no steps and that this apartment is suitable for the infirm.

Further details

A small supermarket, bakery, news agent etc. is 60 metres away. The main church is also in the Old Town. All the restaurants are situated within 150 metres. The balcony gets sun most of the day and the location is quiet.

Further details indoors

Beyond the lower hall is the main room. Bedroom 1 and 2 each have huge sleigh beds with en suite bathrooms. Bedroom 3 has 2 single beds and a washand basin. The main bedroom has 2 windows overlooking the port. 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. There is a basement below the apartment eith steps from the kitchen. It has full washing facilities

Further details outdoors

The apartment is ideally located on the water. One can hire boats or simply wander along the waterfront . The beach is a 3 minute walk so the location is ideal for children. A car is not necessary in Villefranche. However there is a public car park 120 yards away (Euro; 20 / day) and a free car park on the old Citadel (300 yds away). Villefranche is a very picturesque village and many of the streets are very narrow. It is located between Nice and Monaco and is perfect if you want to explore the coast by train or car. The station is a 4 minute walk and is only 1 stop from Nice and 12 minutes to Monaco. Beaulieu is the next village and is a 15 minute walk. The 5 windows at the front look across to Cap Ferrat.
