Have just returned from our stay and have had a great time. We were met at the taxi rank by Julie who took us to the apartment and showed us around. We were allowed to check in on arrival at 1.00pm which was an added bonus. There are lots of steps in Villefranche so it’s not somewhere to go if you have mobility issues. There are quite a few sets of steps up to the apartment but once you’re up there the view is absolutely worth it. It’s right in the middle of town in a perfect location. One of our favourite restaurants was literally straight across from the front door. The apartment is fantastic, extremely spacious, modern and very comfortable. We really couldn’t fault it. It’s quiet at night too considering the central location. The train station is on the same street as the apartment, a 5 - 10 minute walk away. From there you can go right along the French riveria and into italy. We would certainly recommend and may well return one day.

The views and comforts of home make this property worth the climb to the 3rd/4th floor. The steps are even and have handrails. The windy and gray start to March kept me from using the beautiful terrace but I enjoyed the views from the comfortable furniture inside the apartment. The appliances were easy to use and apartment manager Julie a pleasure to work with. For a family or small group of friends, having two large bathrooms are a real bonus in an old town rental. I will miss my walks to Beaulieu and St Jean Cap Ferrat. A la prochaine!

The apartment was spacious, comfortable and truly had a spectacular view. The location was central to Villefranche including easy access to two restaurants on our street and close proximity to several other good restaurants. The convenience of the train station made the whole area available. Julie was helpful, met us at the train, assisted us with our luggage on the stairway and answering our questions promptly.

This is a great property in a wonderful area. The beach is lovely, great restaurants and easy to get around. Less than 10 minutes on the train to Nice and 40 minutes by car to Canyon Forest which was great fun to do with teenage boys. Highly recommend.

We loved this perfect little gem in heart of Villefranche sur Mer. When we stepped outside the door we stepped straight in to the street where the best and cutest restaurants were. There are quite a few stairs but Julie the manager gave us a hand with the luggage so all good. We found being charged a cleaning fee separately to be unusual, we didn’t mind but it made for some last minute scrambling at the ATM. I’ve gone back on the booking forms prior to paying and can’t see any reference to the extra charges until after we’d paid. I rent Airbnb and Homeaway often in fact this year alone I’ve stayed in Oslo, Rome, San Gimignano and Paris and haven been charged for cleaning separately. Let me say it wouldn’t stop me coming back it was well worth it just unusual. The property is fabulous!

Lovely location of villa - spotlessly clean and very homely. The only reason for the two four start ratings are follows: Check-In. We were unable to access the property as the cleaner was not there when we arrived - despite being promised that she would be. Also it would be easier if the individual properties had numbers. Neither were a major problem, but made check in slightly harder than it might have been. Accuracy of Online listing - the air conditioning units in the bedrooms are yet to be installed and this was disappointing; also there is no mention of the steps from the street to the property, which again was ok for us, but could be restrictive in other cases. As an observation only, (as there were only 2 of us) the property is not really set-up for 6 as advertised, There is no where for example where 6 could eat together, and it would be extremely 'cosy' if 6 wanted to relax on the balcony. These issues are only pointed out for future reference - we still had a lovely weeks break and would happily return to both the area and the property.

The stairs were the biggest challenge, due to lots of luggage on our part! Everything else was great!

To celebrate my big birthday this year I rented this beautiful flat with 4 other friends. I'm familiar with Villefranche and this is in the best location, just a short block up from the sea and in the center of town. The beds and bedding exceeded my expectations, the bathrooms were high quality, and the kitchen was well-furnished. And oh the balcony, that was fantastic. We'd be out there for coffee and in the evenings with wine. The flat is up 3 flights of stairs or so but given the amount of amazing food, was grateful for the tiny bit of exercise. The property manager was quickly responsive to the little questions I had. We were there during a hot spell and it was a tad warm with only one a/c in the living room, but there were fans and I understand the owner will be adding a/c units. I would absolutely stay here again, it was one of my best rentals anywhere. Thank you!!

The apartment was in a perfect location in Villefranche-sur-Mer with lots of very good restaurants on the doorstep. Right in the heart of the old town with a fantastic sea view. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the boats coming in and out of the harbour. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable for our family group of six and we would all recommend to friends and family. Hope to return to Villefranche in the future and would definitely hope to stay st Artist Tresor!

The apartment was clean and well equipped and provided a perfect base for exploring the coast. We went to Monaco, Menton and into Itsly as well as going back to Nice. A couple of days lounging on the beach were, we felt, then deserved. Decent restaurants in Villefranche were a welcome feature.

We were in Villefranche for 2 weeks and really enjoyed this apartment. The place is in the heart of the old town and has a beautiful view of the Bay of Villefranche. The apartment is very clean and the property manager (Donna) was very welcoming and accommodating.

Following a delay in Paris due to a train strike, our arrival in Villefranche-Sur-Mer and the apartment was with great relief. We were delighted to see the apartment was just as we had seen in the pictures for so long. The apartment is clean and very well maintained. Everything is so close therefore you can either relax inside or on the terrace or travel out. Would recommend a trip to the Friday markets in Italy, however just walking around the local area is just magical. Would definitely recommend, a pity it is so far from Australia, as we would certainly be back. Many thanks to both Mattie and Donna for all you help and assistance.

Following a delay in Paris, to arrive at Villefranche-Sur-Mer was a relief. To our delight the apartment was just like the pictures we had viewed for so long. The apartment is clean and well maintained. The real plus it is so close to everything which means you can just relax or travel easily to other places. The information provided in the apartment and by Donna was very helpful. Would recommend going across the boarder to Italy for the Friday market. A great six days (we lost one because of train strike), for a family of five. Definitely recommend, a pity it is so far away from Australia.

My husband, daughter, son-in-law and two children have just arrived back from another fantastic holiday in Mattie's lovely apartment. We've stayed there numerous times over the years, the first time I think in 2003 which speaks for itself! Over the years there have been improvements, another bathroom, air-con etc. The location is perfect, in the centre of the village, close to shops, restaurants, beaches and public transport and Mattie is always a pleasure to deal with. We were met this time by a lovely lady called Heidi and provided with a welcoming bottle of fizz. The weather was beautiful, the view of Cap Ferrat amazing from the large terrace and we can't wait to go back. Mary and Geoff

A stunning view! The location is perfect being right in the heart of the old town. We loved the local beach and very much enjoyed the coastal walks with dramatic scenery along the cliffside. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and well appointed with pretty much everything we needed to hand. We particularly enjoyed the surrounding eateries, with special mention to the ice cream bar at the bottom of the stairs which also served delicious crepes. All in all we enjoyed a delightful week in Villefranche-sur-mer.

Had a lovely time in Villefranche; lovely to be so central, in the old town and with a sea view. The apartment was just as the photo's. It was great that the apartment had a store cupboard of herbs and oils which were very useful if you decided to eat in and enjoy the sea view, without having to go out. Although there are many restaurants; 5 within a few paces of the main entrance. With being in the old town, the area is car free so quiet from vehicular traffic. Lovely to have 3 bakeries within a short walk, so could start the morning with a freshly baked croissant sitting on the balcony planning the day. Public transport was frequent and inexpensive so made it easy to explore the local area, and with the train station within easy walking distance it was also inexpensive to explore further afield such as Monaco. Really appreciated the apartment having beach towels, snorkelling and other beach accessories. We used the beach at Villefranche and others on Cap Feret. The sea was amazingly clear and plenty of fish to see.

We (a family of six) had a wonderful week's stay in Villefranche and Artistes Tresor. The flat is perfectly located in the old town with easy access to shops, restaurants, beaches, and public transportation. We'll be back :-)

If you are looking for an atmospheric spot to be a base for your excursions in the Nice area, Villefranche sur Mer is a great location, and this property is a great place to stay in the town. There are about a dozen restaurants within a block, along with an ice cream stand literally right at the door at the bottom of the stairs. The view from the deck is fabulous. Short walks to bus stop and train station. The villa is comfy and clean, with two refrigerators and a competent kitchen well stocked with utensils, etc. Beds, couch, reclining chair all are comfy. Air conditioner on the wall near the deck keeps most of the villa cool even in hot weather. Mattie the owner has plans to add an air conditioner in the back bedrooms, which we think would be a great addition for summer renters, as it was pretty hot and muggy outside for part of our stay in late June. Sue, her agent in the area, was great to work with, and she arranged airport transportation for our four-person party that was economical and timely. All in all, we had a great time and highly recommend this property.

The apartment was very spacious, nicely decorated and had amazing views of the bay. It was really nice seeing the very expensive yachts arriving. The apartment was very well placed amongst the restaurants and I can't imagine a better location! Sue and Mattie were very helpful arranging our transport and telling us where everywhere is and the best places to go. Quick train ride to the Monaco Grand Prix. Will definitely return

This is a lovely, well equipped apartment in an interesting little town. The terrace is beautiful to sit out on and gets the morning sun. We catered for ourselves rather than eating in restaurants and found that we could get all the provisions we needed in the town - excellent greengrocer, butcher and bakers, fish on the quay and twice-weekly market. Villefranche is a lovely little town and well worth exploring. There are also excellent bus and train services to explore further afield. There are two beaches within a short walk from the apartment which were both good for swimming at this time of year.

We had a wonderful extended stay at Artistes Tresor from late January to early February. The apartment is beautifully appointed with a lovely living and dining area, fully stocked modern kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms, two full bathrooms, complete laundry facilities, and a balcony with a breathtaking view. Everything from Wi-Fi to hair dryers is provided. The apartment is filled with sunlight in the morning, and at night the view along the bay twinkles as lights dance on the water. We were very comfortable in the apartment, it was quiet and very private. And we loved the location. Shops, restaurants, the train station, and the beach are just a short walk, and most areas of town are easily accessible on foot. This apartment truly is a treasure, a little piece of heaven in a magically beautiful part of the world. Thank you, Mattie for providing this amazing apartment.

Loved every minute of our holiday from the time we arrived at the Villa Sue was there to greet us show us around a very lovely & helpful lady. The Villa was perfect, location fabulous, Villa was spacious, clean & home from home in everyway, we go on vacation regular to Villefranche & will certainly be booking Artistes Tresor again very soon. Can highly recommend it. Must say the owner of the Villa, Mattie was most helpful in everyway helping to plan our holiday.

The apartment is gorgeous with such an amazing view of the bay. The rooms are tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean The apartment is spacious with two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The location is close to the beach with restaurants, bars, shops and a supermarket on your doorstep. The train station and bus stop is just a short walk away and they provide transport links to everywhere along the coast. Sue the manager is really helpful and provided us with lots of local ideas and information and also arranged our transport to and from Nice Airport. We were a party of six and had the most wonderful week in Villefranche staying at Artistes Tresor, we would definitely recommend it, truly superb!

Our family (of 4) along with my parents (2) had a wonderful stay. The apartment could not be more convenient. The views are worth the price alone, while the apartment is finished quite nicely. We hope to return.
