At the waterfront it is 2 floors above the cobbled street which is a cul de sac. The area is over 2000 sq. ft.

The property is perfectly situated with wonderful views of the harbor and Cap beyond and centrally located for easy access to the train, restaurants and all of the many sights to see. Everything about the house is just as described and exceeded our expectations.
Our family of five truly loved our stay! It is the perfect location and the artwork and furnishings were so lovely. We will be booking again in the future!
Probably the nicest vantage point you are going to find in the cote d'azur for a short term rental apartment.
Beautiful views and super convenient access to beach and restaurants.
The most perfect apartment and spot to spend a week! Check-in process was seamless and all in the apartment was as described in an absolutely perfect location. We will be returning.
The space and the views cannot be beat! The ample bedrooms and bathrooms gave our party of 6 so much space to enjoy gathering together for meals and games, as well as privacy with our own showers and bedrooms. Jonathan was a communicative host when we had questions. One bedroom had a foul odor that was quickly addressed. The location was easy to enter and maneuver with only a few steps inside the unit. Mornings were spent with coffee on the balcony watching the bustle of the restaurants below preparing for their day. Restaurant noise below in the evenings was not an issue. We would stay here again in the future. Beautiful place!
My family of 2 adults and 2 teens just stayed at the beautiful Seagulls apartment. The location is the best possible in Villefranche with the apartment sitting two floors above the seaside dining of the old town along the harbor and lower corniche. The breathtaking views from the two small balconies overlook the bay and Cap Ferrat with storybook hillside homes and twinkling lights at night. The apartment is huge and exceptionally clean. There are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed, large bathroom and balcony overlooking the harbor. The second bedroom has a queen bed and large bathroom but overlooks a charming pedestrian alley stretching from the shore to the top of the village. The third bedroom has two twin beds and also overlooks the pedestrian alley. The huge living room overlooks the marina and has a small balcony, two love seats, dining table, Tv and various side tables. If there is anything I can fault about this property, it would be the living room sofa seating. The loveseats are well worn and could use replacing with a sectional for more comfort. This is a small detail in the grand scheme of the home. The full kitchen is also large with all necessary appliances, cookware, and dishes. There is a large kitchen table. A gigantic main bathroom overlooks the marina. It has a claw foot tub, large double sink counter, shower, toilet and bidet. I was thrilled to find that the clothes dryer worked very well. The town is quiet during the winter with only a handful of restaurants open. The week of New Years is a particularly popular time for the shops and restaurants to be closed. Without a car we were somewhat limited with dining choices. We highly recommend the small charming Restaurant La Grignotere. The town is vibrant and alive during summer. There was a small market a short walk down the alley from the apartment. It had everything we needed though the hours of operation were unclear. The town of Ville Franche is wonderful to get lost and found. It feels very Italian, a bit like the Cinque Terre. The train station is a 10 minute walk from the apartment and offers inexpensive service to Monaco, Nice, Cannes, and Antibes. You need to take a bus to Eze from Monaco. We took the tram from Nice airport to the Nice port then took a taxi into Ville Franche. Our driver dropped us off at a mid hillside location that made transporting our baggage very easy on foot. It would We would recommend this apartment to anyone.
Property was amazing, exactly what we were hoping for. Right on the water with great views, easy walk to a ton of restaurants, grocery, and the beach. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful, spacious apartment with breathtaking views of the harbor. Quick stroll to the beach or train. Right in the thick of town center, could lot be more convenient. Only gripe is one of the rooms had a malfunctioning A/C so with the heat wave it was not useable even with fans. Otherwise we would highly recommended this space for families. Our two young children loved it here.
We had an amazing stay at The Seagulls! The location was wonderful and the apartment was very spacious for our group of 8. The balcony is a real bonus!
We had a lovely visit to Villefranche. The home was amazing! It has everything you need and more. Perfect location, beautiful views, plenty of comfortable space for a large family. Great communication with the owner who provided all the important information and wonderful local suggestions. We could not have been happier.
This property is every bit as gorgeous as the photos represent. Jonathon was terrific to work with. The location is a dream and perfectly situated close to restaurants and the water. There are the normal difficulties with slow wifi, but other than that-perfection!
I recommend this spot in the S. of France. It has a great location and it is quiet. We have had some trouble recently on our trips to Europe with respect to hot water running short or completely out. This place had plenty of warm water and had some nice touches like a balcony looking over the sea. I would return to this spot with its large bathrooms, tidy bedrooms, laundry in basement and easy access. Several good local restaurants are just steps away (Les Garcons & Belle Etoile) plus it is not far from the regional train station if you want to run over to Monte Carlo or into Nice. I usually stay in the area of Antibes but Villefranche sur mer is a hidden gem.
This area is special and this apartment was a great place from which yo enjoy it. Superb location, spacious, and comfortably inviting. Communication with owner was superb.
This apartment is extremely spacious and beautiful. The area is so quaint with everything just steps away, cobblestone walkways with wonderful restaurants, grocery, and bakeries. Every morning my kids enjoyed a fresh baguette or chocolate croissant from the local bakery. The train station is very close and easy to use. We had a wonderful vacation and truly adored everything about this lovely destination on the sea.
