Located in one of the prettiest towns on the Côte d'Azur, yet within close proximity to Nice and Monte Carlo, this refurbished 60m2 (internal area) apartment's benefits include a large 25m2 (external area) direct sea facing terrace, swimming pool, private parking, air conditioning and resident caretaker. The beach, old town shops and restaurants, railway station and bus stop are all within 10 minutes downhill walking distance. Great care has been taken to refurbish the entire apartmentto a luxurious standard. The finish, including fixtures, fittings and furnishings, is meticulous. Linen, towels and heating are also provided.


Location: Catch the train at Nice St. Augustin Station (10 minutes walk from the airport) and travel only 3 short stops to Villefranche-sur-Mer. From the station, a flight of steps will take you directly down to the beach and a 10 minute walk uphill will bring you to the apartment. In fact, easy walking distance to the railway station provides the possibility of travelling the length of the picturesque Cote d'Azur from Menton near the Italian border, visiting Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Juan Le Pins, Cannes and Théoule-sur-Mer. Alternatively, take the airport bus to the central depot in Nice. From there, travel by bus
(Menton/Ventimiglia) for 15 minutes through stunning scenery, alighting at the apartment. Car hire from the airport is available by arrangement and the easiest route to the apartment is to follow the Bay des Anges to Nice Port then proceed along the Basse Corniche past the centre of Villefranche, finding the well sign-posted Les Restanques some 300 metres further on the right.

Exterior: The lovely shared swimming pool is accessed by taking the lift to the ground floor and then wandering along the paved path through the beautifully tended garden. Once more, the setting of the swimming pool provides breathtaking views across to Cap Ferrat.

Interior: The lounge furniture comprises two settees, a sideboard/dresser, large coffee table with storage within, television cupboard/stand with internet TV and DVD. There is also a small bar area. The luxury fitted kitchen is fully equipped and includes solid wood work surfaces and dining table with chairs, which separates the kitchen and lounge areas. The main bedroom furniture comprises a king size double bed, a large three-section wardrobe, bedside cabinets and console table with mirror above. The separate seating alcove / dressing area also contains two shelf/work areas. The luxurious bathroom features marble tiles throughout and includes a symmetrically designed bath with central hand shower, wash hand basin over towel storage unit, mirror above basin, toilet and douche, heated towel rail and two further storage units.

    Stayed for 1 week in may. Property is well maintained, lots of supplies for cooking, plenty of hot water and comfortable bed. Photos don’t do the place justice…. The view is absolutely phenomenal and we didn’t mind the steep climb to/from old town. Though we had a car, We took the train for day trips - a quick walk down to the station. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

    We loved Rob's place. I was exactly as pictured. The kitchen was fully stocked. The patio/balcony was outstanding. It is clean. If you have a car, it is perfect since it also provides parking. Communication before and during stay was prompt and easy. The view comes with a price, however. It is a significant hike up from the waterfront that got old quickly for a couple of 70+ year olds, even though we are in pretty good shape.

    Can't imagine a more beautiful place to enjoy Villefranche and the view of the ocean than this beautiful VRBO. We loved it! The entire place is beautifully decorated, very comfortable bed. Highly recommend this VRBO.

    Exactly as advertised. Idyllic. The view from the deck is as pictured, absolutely beautiful. The location is great, easy walk thru a quaint village to restaurants and the train station. The host was always available for any questions we had.

    It was wonderful to stay in this flat. The best is the great view over the bay.

    We stayed at this lovely apartment for 6 days to tour around the French Riviera and it was a great find. It’s perfect for a couple and has all the necessities (kitchen utensils, washer, bathroom items). We appreciated the apartment had some of the staples upon arrival (ie, paper towels, toilet paper, detergent, coffee filters/coffee). The bed was also comfortable. The patio is large with a good size table and two loungers, and we spent mornings enjoying coffee and having pre-post dinner drinks. The great thing about the patio, outside of the amazing views, is that it also has a retractable awning so nice for sun or rain. Staying in contact with Rob was super easy and he was very responsive. On the day of arrival Lamya was there to great us and showed us around. There is a pool on the property, which we used one day. It’s not heated, but was nice to have an additional spot to relax. The location of the apartment is above the old town, which has a number of restaurants and a few bars. It’s about an 8 min walk up/down hill (a good way to walk off a bit of dinner), but it’s scenic and offers some sidewalks and not overly busy road. Similarly the train station was about an 8 min walk, which was super convenient to travel to Nice, Eze, Monaco. (The town beach (sandy) was also right near the train station so again not a bad walk.) And, a market and bakery are both nearby. I would definitely recommend this apartment and stay here again if we had the opportunity!

    The apartment was really comfortable and as shown in the photos. . Had everything we needed for our stay.. and the balcony!!! We could hardly tear ourselves away from the amazing view! Great base to explore other towns & other areas , with the bus just outside and the train station just down the hill. Great places to eat in the wonderful & beautiful old town, again just a short walk down the hill. Villefranche-sur-mer and this apartment , just great !

    This appartment was everything we needed for our holiday. The view is wonderful from the living room, bedroom and the pool. It was very easy to relax in. Despite being close to the road and train station it was also quiet. Lamya (the property manager) was nice and told us everything we needed to know for our stay. The building concierge was also very friendly and helped us contact Lamya after I had the wrong number.

    The apartment is fully equipped with everything you are likely to need from just sleeping there to full self-catering. All fixtures and equipment are of a high standard and the building is of an higher level overall. It was still too cold to use the pool but it certainly looks inviting. The terrace view is spectacular and we could hardly tear our eyes away from it the whole time we were there. We used buses for all our transportation and there are stops very close by. Figuring out the schedules is another matter altogether! Nevertheless, it is very easy to get into Nice or Bealieu (best for grocery shopping). Recommend bus over train if arriving with luggage as the station is some distance below. Would recommend this property to anyone holidaying in the Antibes-Monaco area of the Riviera.

    This was our 4th stay in Rob & Mandy's apartment (which says more than words could say). We spent Thanksgiving week here, and it was a wonderful choice, weather-wise, jackets optional during the day; needed at night, but comfortable. The apartment is so well situated relative to bus stops and the train station, and this time we discovered and used 7-day, 15 Euro bus passes. They don't get you back from Monaco, but allowed us to freely take the bus during our stay. The apartment is an exceptional deal, with a million-dollar view from the deck, comfortable living room, complete kitchen and comfortable bed. We enjoyed excellent meals at La Belle Epoque (right down the hill) and L'Aparte (one block above the waterfront, hidden in an alley). We recommend both restaurants - L'Aparte is more upscale, but both have wonderful food. We are already looking to plan our next trip back and are looking forward to retirement, when we will come for more than a week.
