About this apartment rental

A feature of this scenic and conveniently located property 3 mins walk from the town centre is the world renowned panoramic sea view of La Rade de Villefranche and Cap Ferrat, which can be appreciated from the large, L-shaped, 24 square metres, terrace. One section of the terrace can be used as a solarium leading to the summer terrace. Note: 1 square metre = 10 feet approximately. This spacious apartment, located in a quiet residential boutique development of just 9 apartments overlooking the Bay, boasts over 91 square metres of living space and is accessed through an exclusive gated entrance with underground parking and cellar. There are also picturesque gardens and, of course, an outdoor pool.
La Colline is also ideally located close to the famous French Language School school 'Institut Francais'. Therefore, while a car is not an essential requirement, guests also have the use of a reserved underground car parking space in our garage.
Recently a new state of the art tram system has been built to connect the city of Nice with Nice Airport Terminals 1 and 2. This is a very welcome development for travellers. The tram fare costs 1 euro 50 per person on a solo trip. The trams are fully air conditioned and stop regularly through Nice Centre Ville, parallel to the 'Promenade des Anglais' with Line 2 ending at the terminus 'Port Lympia'. Here you can hop on a number 15 bus in the direction of 'St Jean Cap Ferrat' or a 100 bus in the direction of 'Monaco/Menton' which only costs 1 euro 50 per person solo. This scenic bus journey takes only 10 to 15 minutes where you need to disembark at the stop called 'L' Octroi' which is the official stop for our apartment 'La Colline' in Villefranche Sur Mer.
The apartment is an oasis of peace and tranquility, yet located within a 3 minute walk of the town centre and its amenities i.e. restaurants, bars, shops, port and beach, park etc. If you want great value for money when it comes to dining out, we recommend taking a walk down to 'Port de la Darse' which is located a short walk from the apartment where there is a selection of restaurants which are better value than the old town . We recommend a casual, no fuss diner called 'La Baleine Joyeuse' (The Happy Whale). This diner, frequented by the French themselves is ideally located looking out over the port with stunning views perfect for boat watching. Picture yourself looking out over the water while sipping on a chilled glass of rosé. This is ideal for a laid back lunch before heading down to the beach. It opens from 7:30am and closes at 5pm. Another restaurant we recommend also located at 'Port de la Darse' is called 'La Trinquette' which opens from 4pm till 23:30'. If you want more of an evening dining experience, then this is the place to visit/book! Here traditional, tasty and affordable French cuisine including whole fresh fish, to steak or a delicious pasta is served. They also serve tasty roasted herb and garlic potatoes and ratatouille which is 'delicieuse'! The French vibe is completed with live music played mostly on the weekends where you can listen to some jazz and relax with 'un carafe de rosé'. Of course, there are also plenty of additional dining options depending on your budget to be found down in the old town of Villefranche, with restaurants located along the winding streets or if you prefer a sea view, looking out over the water. The prices here are generally more expensive, so we would suggest eating in the 'Port de la Darse' for better value if you are on a budget and delicious French food.
La Colline is in great proximity to a range of beaches including 'La Darse Beach' (a pebbly beach which is usually less crowded and very clean) and 'Plage des Marinieres' which is the main beach in Villefranche Sur-Mer' and has a life guard present. You can also visit Plage 'La Petite Afrique' and 'Plage des Fourmis' which are both located in the next town of Beaulieu-Sur-Mer. Here there are also a wide selection of restaurants overlooking the port and there are also some shops in which to browse.' There is a market held every Saturday in Beaulieu on the town square and it is always a hive of activity for tourists and French alike. Don't forget to enjoy a coffee and croissant or even lunch in La Grande Cafe de Beaulieu opposite the square while you are there.
Plage des Fosses, Plage Paloma' and 'Plage des Fossettes' are all located on the world famous penninsula called 'St Jean Cap Ferrat'. Here, the beaches are a range of big and small coves, perfect for paddle boarding or snorkeling. 'St Jean Cap Ferrat' is perfect for dining out with a range of upmarket restaurants. We recommend having a drink at 'La Civette' which is great for people and car watching while watching the world go by if you like that sort of thing!

This apartment has been equipped to ensure a comfortable stay for all our guests. The view from the terrace can only be described as breathtaking ! The property is ideally located with pretty gardens and an outdoor pool for use by guests during the Summer season. It is an extremely private yet centrally located property in the town centre of Villefranche, (Basse Corniche).

This was an exceptional place. The view from the living room and balcony that greeted you every morning is spectacular. It’s a spacious, well-maintained, up-to-date apartment. It’s a 10 minute walk to lovely shops and cafés in town, 5 minutes more to the old town. Very convenient buses to Nice and Monaco. We loved it. 5 stars.

The apartment was exactly as described. It had amazing views from the balcony and was really clean with a well stocked kitchen. It is located a 15 minute walk from the train station and 10 minutes to the nearest bus stop enabling you to easily visit lots of places along the coast. The apartment is up a very steep hill so anyone with mobility issues would struggle. I would highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to return

The area is great. You need to be mindful that some roads are steep . Amazing terrace and view. Pool well maintained. Air conditioning in both rooms and lounge which was essential given tje hot weather. Appliances in good working order. Would benefit from an update but it dos not bother us The only downside is that previous guests left dry food items and these were not removed: packets of pasta opened, ketchup opened. In bathroom strip of empty medicine in medicine cupboard. I think this flat has amazing potential and needs redecorating. During our stay the matresses were replaced.

This apartment is well situated, high above Villefrenche Sur Mer, so a bit of a hike.It is spacious and comfortable,but is a bit "tired and in need of TLC"

The views are stunning from the apartment. For anyone with mobility issues, there is the #80 bus that will run you up the hill from the port. It’s not a bad hill, but it’s definitely a hike. The bed was comfortable, Patrick was responsive and simply enjoying the views with a glass of rose was divine. Highly recommend dinner at La Mere Germaine and daily drinks at The Welcome Hotel. Villefranche is a great place to call home.

Wonderful, spacious apartment. Could use a little sprucing up, but everything that was needed was there. Definitely nice that a bus now stops right outside, because the walk up the hill is quite exhausting if Covid has interfered with your physical fitness. The view is incredible!
