"Spaceous and comfortable ground floor appartment with spectacular views from the garden patio in a quiet location above the Villefranche town centre. You will need a vehicle, though, if you do not want to walk the 793 steps down to the village (and back up again). Friendly housekeeper. "
"Villefranche Sur Mer is SO beautiful, the view we saw over the bay was the same view as we had on the cover of our guide book, nothing prepared me for how utterly beautiful it was in reality.
We spent the day exploring the old town and meeting many neighborhood cats and dogs, visiting churches and dropping in here and there for cool drinks and glasses of Rosé. Superb."
"we had a super photo shoot here, we loved it and will certainly return, this is the best and most beautiful location on the whole Riviera, thank you. "
"Super apartment, thank you SO much! Who could have thought that Bono's house was on the same beach and we actually saw him one evening playing with The Edge in one of the beach restaurants.
The apartment was lovely, right by the water, what a superb location."
"Wow! Cheap and in a great location. We loved it. Please don't go ahead with the planned upgrades, we'll come back time and again at this price! Views were just unbelievable. Thank you so much."
"Villefranche is a coastal village and the old town sits right on the edge of the water. One of the things that makes Villefranche so special and so popular as a holiday destination is it's gradient. The mountains rise sharply up away from the sea front which affords most of the villas, houses and apartments in Villefranche fantastic sea views but it does mean that it is spread over quite a distance.
The commune of Villefranche spans all the way up to the Col de Villefranche and drops all the way down to the waters edge, so you have to make sure that you have got your bearings when you are booking a holiday rental or driving there on the correct road.
Villefranche village is on the Basse Corniche, or the coast road but even then the Old town is a further drop again down to the waters edge. The access road is narrow and twisty but there is parking along the beach and opposite the Port.
The Moyenne Corniche is the middle road and it cuts through the centre of the mountain. It is the fastest route from Nice to Villefranche and onwards to Eze village and Monaco. It's a busy main route for locals keen to stay out of the way of day trippers and sight-seers but that doesn't mean it is by any means a disagreeable or ugly route. It still has some of the best views on the Riviera and just means easier access to your holiday rental in Villefranche.
The Grand Corniche is by far the quietest route. It runs along the top and behind the summit of the mountains tha surround Villefranche. It is a wonderful route to take in the stunning views and to get an idea of the geography of the French Riviera coastline. It is the next best thing to being in the air and the photos you can take are next to aerial in aspect.
So when you are booking your holiday rental check which part of Villefranche it is in. Wherever it is you can be certain of stunning views. "
"The location was wonderful, and the view was spectacular. The apartment was nice and clean, but there were a few quirks in our stay. We didn't have hot water for 24 hours, and the towels were kind of nasty. Sarah, the rental agent was awesome and took care of any questions or needs we had. Thanks Sarah! "
"Absolutely beautiful views from the patio. Sarah, who was responsible for overseeing the rental, was incredibly friendly. Apartment was very spacious, more so than it appears in the pictures. Kitchen was very very nice and suitable for cooking your own meals. I would certainly stay here again. The only downfall is that I would not recommend staying if you do not have a vehicle as the walk to the top of the hill would be quite long and not practical."
"This is a dream villa and we send thank yous to the great staff, also for the views that are amazing. Thank you to organise Sunseeker Charter with smiles. Thanks to Sean and mike and the Riviera Guide staff."
"Villa Bianco is absolutely the most incredible property on the Riviera. We stayed here for a month in Spring and just could not believe the blue crystal landscape that's outside every window in the building. In fact the sea and it's sounds and fresh salty air comes right into the rooms. My family loved it, and cannot wait to return, again and again. Thanks everyone for a fabulous experience."
