About this apartment rental
A delightful 2 bed apartment (53 sq m) with a large balcony (13 sq m) and stunning views of Villefranche bay and Cap Ferrat. It has a spacious salon with an open plan kitchen and doors on to the balcony.
The air conditioning system serves both the salon and the main bedroom.
It’s close to the beach (c.350 paces) and station – 5 minutes walk – and an easy 10 minute walk to the centre of Villefranche.
If two parties are sharing the apartment, you’ll have to toss for who gets which bedroom. The front one has a king size bed and access to the balcony; the back one is cosy – it takes a standard double, just – and has a window overlooking the courtyard garden. You'll love the luxury of The White Company bedlinen.
The kitchen opens on to the salon so the chef won’t feel isolated. It has all the electrical equipment you’ll need, including a Nespresso machine, toaster, gas hob and an electric oven. A fridge freezer gives ample space to store fresh food.
There’s a small library of books and maps on the local area, an assortment of DVDs, a large flat screen TV and internet access.
With the station being so conveniently close, you will hear the swish of electric trains as they pass but this stops for a good period at night. Mostly you’ll be serenaded by the sound of waves on the beach and the tinkling of halyards on the yachts in the bay.
No need for a car as the train service is brilliant! 10 minutes to the centre of Nice, 2 minutes to Beaulieu (with a good supermarket right next to the station), and on to Eze, Monaco and Menton, and 40 minutes to the Friday morning market in Ventimiglia.

This apartment met all of our needs, and some needs we didn't know we needed! Our family of 4 (with 2 adult children) were very comfortable for our stay, and the location to town, the beach, and the train station could not have been any better. I would totally stay here again.
4.9
My family were very happy staying in this apartment. The location was perfect, being so close to the beach, train station, and the Villefrance sur Mer harbour and stunningly beautiful old town – only 5-10 mins walk away.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and a had a homely, relaxed feel to it that was lovely. We would not hesitate to recommend it.
Finally, thank you to Pat, the owner, who left an extremely informative and helpful welcome book of the apartment, and wonderful Villefranche sur Mer.

This apartment was the perfect apartment and location for our family of 4! Pat and George were super helpful before we came, while we were there, and upon leaving! The view from the kitchen, bedroom, and balcony is the most beautiful view one could imagine of villefranche sur mer and the French Riviera! No need to look any further! This apartment is just awesome and the location is just steps away from the train station, the water, shops, and restaurants but feels secluded! We will be back!
4.9
The apartment was ideally situated for views across the bay. The station was also part of the view, but don’t worry you will not be disturbed by the trains (even with the windows open). But it does mean you can easily travel along the coast to Nice, Monte Carlo, Italy etc. Having said that there are walks, sandy beach and good restaurants in Villefranche sur Mer. Highly recommend Villefranche and this apartment.

This is the second time we’ve stayed in this apartment block & it was great to be back. A really easy 5-10min walk to the old town & nice to be away from the crowds. The trains just in front & below the apartments are frequent but being electric (apart from the freight trains) are fairly quiet & not intrusive (& very handy!). The apartment is well laid out & very well equipped, including good supplies of kitchen store cupboard ingredients. Beds & bedding all extremely comfortable. Perfect for a couple, slightly cramped for 4adults. Next door neighbours very audible (TV all day & other sounds through the walls) but that’s an inevitable risk when staying in an apartment block. Bit dusty on arrival but otherwise very clean. Definitely recommend.

This is such a fantastic location and apartment. Steps from a great beach, the convenience of the train station, the view from the patio — we were tempted to never leave. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to have both some relaxing down time, and still some day adventures to nearby Nice or Monaco. Did I mention the view from the patio?

Lovely property well equipped with utensils and basic pantry supplies. Minor maintenance issues attended to rapidly. Close to rail station, but electric trains so little noise- was not disruptive. Walk to beach and shops.

The apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures. It is well-stocked, the patio is huge, the views are fabulous and everything was great. The beds were fine, but could have been turned or flipped or something--they did not cause me any pain or to lose sleep. We loved this apartment and would come back again and again if we could. The village and the location were all perfect and Pat and George were fantastic! It was so difficult to leave.

This was our second stay at this apartment and it was as good as the first. It is in an excellent location right by the train station and only a ten minute walk to shops and restaurants. The apartment is so comfortable and nicely decorated. My favourite spot is the balcony that overlooks the sea and the old town. Villefranche-sur-Mer is such a lovely town and is a great base for day trips to other towns such as Eze, Cannes and Nice. Our hosts were wonderful and helpful. I know we will be back!
4.9
We loved the apartment. Villefranche is a lovely place with lots of amenities close by. Close to the train so it’s easy getting anywhere. Pretty quit location- as other reviews have said, noise from train not a bother for us Hosts are great communicators.

Lovely apartment, with beautiful views over the Mediterranean Sea. Each morning we enjoyed our coffee sitting on the porch and watching the activity around us.
We had returned our rental and made use of the train service. Just a short walk to the station and two stops from Nice, which we did frequently. The train service was excellent, with limited waiting between trains.
Pat and George were very accommodating as we had a very early check in so we could drop off our rental in Nice.
This was our second stay and we hope to return again in the future.
The apartment was very well stocked and even had a nice welcome of bread and fruit and milk. A comfortable stay.

The property was in a great position. travel easy with railway station 100 mtrs away.
Description of 2nd bedroom being a cosy bedroom was a little conservative. The bed is against the wall 1 side and leaving 9 inch gap the other. This room in my opinion is for a single bed.
The property is advertised as having satalite tv, however only sky news is available. The towels that were supplied were of good quality, but a change mid week would have been nice as 7 days is just a bit to long. Overall the property seems to be a bit to lived in as it is cluttered with personal items.
4.9
What a wonderful stay! The accommodations are as advertised. In fact, our expectations were exceeded.
I had been concerned that the view might be obstructed by the train wires or I'd be bothered by train / vehicle noise. Not at all. The view was incredible and the trains are electric and thus quiet. Virtually no vehicle traffic as the road next to the building is a dead-end. It was very quiet, which we enjoyed.
The location is very close to the train station, and we easily went into Nice, Beaulieu-Sur-Mer (For groceries at the Super U), Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (to visit the gardens at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild), Menton (very nice sea-side town), and Ventimiglia in Italy (for gelato). And of course we spent a lot of time in Villefranche-sur-mer, which is lovely. We spent a couple of mornings just sitting out on the balcony, watching the sunrise, relaxing and reading.
Note that the washing machine is a French Top Loader, so the barrel doors need to be closed correctly for the wash to proceed properly. (We made the mistake of not doing so, and this resulted in an extra visit by the host... lesson learned!)
Pat is an excellent host, and went above and beyond during the holidays to give us detailed directions and help us when we had questions. The accommodations are clean, modern, and a good size for a couple. A very rejuvenating trip. We hope to come back and stay here again in the future.

We loved staying at this property! My husband, daughter and I were meeting my son at the Nice airport and the three of us were delayed getting there (bad ratings for the airlines!:( ) and George the owner was kind enough to pick up my son, drove him around for a tour of the town, and then brought him to the property to check him in and show him all the things we would need to know about the apartment. We REALLY apppreciated that! Pat and George's property was just as shown online and the view from the large patio was even better. The train runs right below it but seeing as we didn't rent a car, it was so convenvient to have it so close. The noise didn't bother us at all when we were in the apartment. In fact, we missed the peacefulness of this property after going to an apartment in Nice a few days later. Not quiet and peaceful in Nice! The town of Ville Franche is so pretty and easy to walk to shops and restaurants from the property! Overall, we were very happy and would definitely stay here again! Thank you Pat and George!

What a great place. The communication with Pat was excellent ahead of the trip and George met us and gave us a great tour and description of the flat and area. We really enjoyed staying here. Very comfortable and a great location. right next to the train station and the beach and a short walk to the supermarket and restaurants. thank yoy for having us.

Very easy experience and a great location. Short walk to the beach, the grocery and patisserie, and restaurants in town. And of course the view from the apartment is spectacular. Would love to do it again someday.

My sister-in-law and I had a fabulous week at this amazing Villefranche apartment. George was there to greet us and we were in heaven the moment we walked in the door. He gave us tons of information, made us feel comfortable about contacting him and Pat if we had any questions or issues, and left some great goodies in the refrigerator including a delicious bottle of wine. The large view terrace was perfect for any time of the day and the rest of the apartment had comfortable furnishings, bedding, etc... The train was a three minute walk and made for easy travel to the nearby towns and villages, and restaurants in Villefranche were also only minutes away. After the day trips we were always pleased to return to our great apartment and town. After this wonderful experience we know we will return. Actually, I have a reservation for next May:).

The apartment was great! It is clean with comfortable furniture (beds and couch) and well appointed without being cluttery. The location is near the bottom of the hill so not as many steps to town as if it where located higher up on the hill, and is a short (8-10 min) walk to the main restaurant and shop area of Villefranche. We felt safe in the apartment and walking home after dark, albeit we were never out past 11pm. The town of Villefranche is beautiful and friendly. The apartment is located just up the hill from the train station, which has its pros and cons - pro was that is it a 3-5 min walk to the train station, which is awesome; con was that the cables and beams of the train system somewhat interfered with the view from the balcony. The view was still beautiful, but know there are train cables, etc in the balcony view of the sea.

A wonderful week
We had a wonderful week in the apartment in Villefranche-sur-Mer. The apartment is supplied with everything you could possibly need. It is sparkling clean, with comfortable furnishings and high quality linens. Pat and George are wonderful hosts, allowing us to check in early, and leaving us a great welcome package of bread, cheese, wine, and other goodies.
They were most patient in answering our many questions, and provided great help when we had a medical situation that needed to be dealt with. The apartment is convenient to everything: the train, the village and the beach. No need for a car! The large sunny terrace with direct views of the bay encourage some just stay-and-relax time.
Thank You, Pat and George.

The apartment was perfect for a quick trip to the Cote d' Azur with my daughter. The apartment is extremely convenient to the train and beach and only a short walk from the center of Villefranche...making it a great location from which to explore the area. But, a peaceful respite at the end of the day. The property does overlook the train station, which isn't obvious from the photos. But, as others have noted noise, foot traffic, etc. weren't an issue for us. We have stayed in dozens of similar properties all over the world and this was among the best equipped we have had. Prompt and seamless interaction with owner, who was extremely helpful in arranging transportation and assisting when an issue arose. Would highly recommend.

5 star all the way and hope to stay here again soon
