Villefranche is amazing!!!

The location of this apartment is top notch. Easily sleeps family of four. Easy train access to Monaco and Nice (& the rest of the Riviera). Host communication was good and they were accomodating to our asks. Would (will) most likely come back again.

A beautiful spot and a beautiful stay

The pictures perfectly represented the apartment; it was light-filled, clean, and filled with amenities. The location could not have been more perfect, as is clear by the windows.Our host communicated with us in depth about the check-in process and even sent us videos on how to use the various keys. It was a wonderful stay and if I'm ever back, I'll be sure to stay again.

Great location

A perfectly located apartment. Clean, fresh, welcoming with an amazing view of the bay. Only a couple of minor issues that if solved would have made the stay even better!! The beds weren't great, not very comfortable, with plastic sheeting. And one shower didn't drain. Otherwise - no complaints and would stay again.

Comfortable flat in great position

The property was comfortable with air conditioning that coped well with the over 30 degree heatwave. We did not use the mezzanine, so not sure how well that works. Because there were only two of us, we had individual bathrooms, which were good. The flat is at the top of narrow staircase with bends in it, so you need to be ready for that. We cooked a couple of times and the facilities are fine, although there is no oven, just a microwave.

Lovely, spacious proprty

This was our third stay in Villefranche. This apartment was spacious, light and quiet, and in a great location. Vanessa met us and covered all the essentials. We had no problems and very much enjoyed our stay. We do want to mention that there are steep stairs to get to this unit on the top floor.

Location is great, getting into building where apartment is located is challenging. The front door barely opens wide enough for the depth of a large suitcase.

Good location but noisy

The property location was great. Right at the port close to the restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The property manager was helpful and very responsive.The apartment looks like the photos with a very narrow staircase not suitable for people with mobility issues. The mezzanine bedroom ceiling is very low so hard for two adults to sleep. The main issue was that on the mezzanine bedroom there was a constant loud noise coming from the wall. It was like a humming sound that never stopped making it difficult to sleep. We reached out to the property manager about it but she said nothing could be done as it was coming from the neighbours. Unfortunately that made our stay not so great so beware if you need a quiet place this would not be it.

This was a wonderful stay. The town is relaxed but fun. The property is walking distance to many great restaurants and 2 beautiful beaches. The stairs to the property were steep but to the loft were very easy. The beds were both comfortable

Amazing!!

We stayed for 10 nights in this gorgeous apartment in Villefranche-ser-mer and it was absolutely perfect! The apartment was spacious, beautifully styled, overlooked the Mediterranean Sea and was in a perfect location. The kitchen had everything you needed and honestly it was just the perfect holiday!

Beautiful views, great location

Wonderful property that provided our family with the necessary space and amenities (washing machine, dishwasher and two bathrooms). Two bedrooms/beds and a couch in common room for one of our kids to sleep on. Great location. Only issue would be lots of stairs (steep/narrow) so this would not be ideal for those with mobility issues. We enjoyed our 4 night stay.

Seafront Villefranche-sur-Mer

I didn't know what to expect when we opened the door to our apartment building to find a narrow, steep staircase but the apartment itself was very bright and modern. The location is excellent with beautiful views and easy access to bars,restaurants,supermarket and public transport. We would all be happy to stay there again.

Ideally located

Very responsive communication with owner and his local agent was so much appreciated. The location of this unit at beachfront in Villafranche had a marvelous view and made eveerything accessible by walking, including beach, train station, multiple restaurants. The property was well equipped and most adequately furnished. All of the internal systems worked perfectly.

Great Apartment in a Fantastic Location

Great apartment in a fantastic location situated within easy reach of all local amenities and transport. Communication with host and property manager were excellent and when we lost water in the main bathroom due to a faulty pressure valve in the system it was fixed quickly and efficiently. As others have stated, being an older building and synonymous to the style, the entry door and staircase were narrow so you have to be mindful of taking large luggage. We knew of this beforehand so it wasn’t a surprise when we got there, just something to consider.

Perfect location in a beautiful setting

The location can’t be beat! Reasonable paid parking close by. The apartment is at the top of a pretty steep set of stairs that is somewhat difficult to manage with luggage (even for two fit people). The loft is not made for tall people which is obvious because it is a loft. But, It is modern inside and very comfortable. I would say it is a touch on the noisy side just because you are in the center of the action. Bars and restaurants steps from the door. Loved the town and the apartment made it feel like home for a few days.

Fantastic!

Location is perfect. I had great communications with the host. The Host manager was welcoming and helpful. The apartment is lovely. The kitchen was great. And Villefranche is so beautiful. We walked to nearby towns easily. The beach is close. Train station is a few minute walk. There are restaurants with music across the street, which we enjoyed in the evenings. (They quiet down at a reasonable time and the windows are newer and block a lot of sound, if needed.) Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful

Hong‘s apartment overlooking the square and the sea is a real gem. It’s got a the best location you could ask for with real Old Town charm. Yes, the stairs are steep, it’s an old townhouse. Yes the water pressure is not a power shower, it’s an old house. Yes there might be people chatting and having a good time after 10pm, it’s a holiday destination, people are enjoying themselves in the evening.The apartment provides you with everything you need, the host Vanessa was very efficient and helpful. Communication was excellent. We didn’t want to leave. We are already planning on coming back.

Lovely central apartment

The property was located in the heart of Villefranche right beside the citadel, shops and restaurants. Great location and a great apartment. Easy access to Nice via the train which is a short walk away. Parking is not easy to find on the weekend and is expensive. The access to the apartment is probably not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as there are uneven stairs to get up. We did however manage and this would be typical of most apartments in the area. Overall a clean apartment which was pretty much as it was advertised. The check in and out was very easy and the entertainment around the location was excellent. I would definitely recommend this apartment to others.
