THE PROPERTY
The Property
If you would like to experience the grandeur of the Belle Epoque era in all it's finery, there are not many options left. Certainly none as lovingly presented and maintained as Grand Villa Soleia. Villa Soleia is one of the original Grand houses of the French Riviera and has had a long and glamourous procession of European lords, ladies and royalty grace its threshold since it was build over 120 years ago. This villa has been lovingly restored in a manner than retains it's wonderful heritage and character, while including the comforts we have come to expect from a villa such as this in a place such as this. The single more important feature of Villa Soleia is in fact not in the villa itself, but all around it. The Rade de Villefranche is one of the worlds most stunning vistas, and not only do you have a exceptional 360 degree view of it, you are actually a part of it. Villa Soleia has a presence in the view that makes it an important feature of Villefranche old town centre, and as you lean out on one of the many balconies you can actually sense how it felt to be one of the chosen few from the Belle Epoque era. It's a very special villa, it has a special atmosphere and charm and we sincerely hope you love your time in it. |
The Location
The villa is in the very centre of one of the most photographed, most adored vistas in the world, the Rade De Villefranche. The bay has a combination of shape, colour and light that lifts the spirit and enthralls all who look on it. Villa Soleia is located right in the heart of the old town, right in the centre of all the action, the shopping and the restaurants. The train station is a 1 minute walk from the villa and the train travels east all along the coast to Italy or east towards San Tropez. Nice international airport is only 10kms from the villa so no time at all is lost travelling. You are on holiday 30 minutes after you arrive. |
