Location was fantastic close to the beach, restaurants, trains and buses. A beautifully equipped modern apartment.

The location is great.
The hosts are friendly and welcoming. However, the apartment was extremely dirty, with oversized furniture that appeared poorly maintained. Old area rugs in every room. The mattresses were old and the bed was sagging. Additionally, the oven and kitchen were dirty. The apartment had an unpleasant odor as well.

Lovely flat top of the steps leading up the harbour. Flat is spacious with all the amenities as expected and tastefully decorated. Clean bed linens were provided for all the three beds. Best part was that Sonia has left 2 beach umbrellas, 3 beach matts and couple of beach towels which come really handy when visiting the nearby beaches. Sonia herself was very helpful and did her best to help out with our car incident (see below)! Oh and do visit the lovely wine bar "Grand Cove" with your loved one which is at the bottom of the steps going down from the flat. Its the best thing we did in Villafranche and would come back just to have a wine (or two!) here :)
There was nothing about the flat itself we didn't like. However, parking in Villafranche-sur-mer can be a nightmare!! The barrier car parks are very expensive (48 EUR per day) and the Barmassa underground car park is very narrow for bigger cars. The 25 EUR weekly tourist pass only allows you to park in the PAYNT spaces which are very few around the town and always full (you cannot use this pass to park in the blue spaces or in the barrier car parks). We unfortunately had our car impounded by the police as we parked overnight on the Fos de la Citadelle road inspite of no obvious signs to not park there. Please ignore the locals who park along this road as they come back late night / early morning and drive away their cars. We had to pay 129 euros to release the car plus an expensive 30 minute Uber ride to the place they keep the impounded cars (other side of the mountain) ! Not to mention the multiple visits to the local police station! So if you are coming to the flat with a car, suggest you just accept the higher cost of parking and park in either Bramassa (very close to flat but needs smaller cars) or park in the open barrier car parks Wilson (shorter walk) or the Marinieres car park (15 min walk to the flat but more likely to find spaces late evening after 8pm).
Again, the parking issues is nothing to do with the flat but problem of the town itself.

The location of the apartment was fabulous situated at the top of one of the main streets of the old town with easy access to all the best of Villefranche.
The apartment is comfortable and practical with a quirky decor. The shower is great.
The best thing about this property though is the host Sonia who goes out of her way to facilitate your stay. She helped us when train woes and strikes made journeys too and from the apartment difficult. She is a joy.
Could do with a couple of wine glasses in the kitchen and maybe a baking dish but this is a very minor point.

Location is fantastic

The flat is in a stunning location, with easy access to to beaches, restaurants and shops. It's spacious and well equipped, with a lovely bathroom and shower, and Sonia is a very friendly and welcoming host. We had a wonderful week there.
There was sometimes noise from traffic during the night, but that is not the fault of the host

Perfect location! central to restaurants and the beach. The apartment is lovely, it has everything, couldn’t fault it! Sonia was really lovely and helpful. Will be recommending to all and will definitely be back.

Great location for this spacious apartment in the old town. The apartment was nicely outfitted, clean, and comfy. Sonia, the manager, met our family members and was most attentive to their needs. This is a lovely spot to spend a week or more. Good value.
We arrived in the middle of a heat wave. The A/C labored to meet the demand, but Sonia brought fans to help with the heat spike.
4.5
Sonia was very easy to communicate with and helped when we had issues opening the door.
We also really appreciated the beach umbrella and mats that were at the house. That made the beach trip super easy!

Stylist apartment with everything you needed, great location close to everything.
It is on a road so you can hear the traffic early in the morning but it didn’t disturb us in the night.

I loved the well-kept apartment in an old building. All the rooms were well decorated with lovely furniture and art. The TV was huge! It was great to be able to watch a film on Netflix after a long day out. The shower cubicle was also huge! The decor was minimal but stylish. The kitchen was well equipped. The host met us at the apartment. She is very friendly and cared about her guests I must say. She spent time to show us around the apartment.
There is nothing that I didn't like. To me, it was perfect.
4.5
