07. Terrace with stunning view of the sea and Cap Ferrat, one bedroom apartment.
A cozy apartment with the most iconic view anywhere on the French Riviera over the Bay of Villefranche and Cap Ferrat Peninsula. The living room has a dining table for four and a bed sofa that can easily be converted into a double bed. The bright bedroom comes with a double bed. The furnished balcony opens towards the Mediterranean. There is an additional roof terrace available, as well as a pool that is open from May to September.
If you arrive with a car you can park outside the premises for free.
A walk down to the sandy beach and the Old Town of Villefranche takes about 15 minutes, with an abundance of restaurants and small boutiques. YouŽll reach the closest grocery store and boulangerie from the apartment in 10 minutes by walking. Besides walking, you can take a small shuttle bus to the beach. Next to the beach is a train station with regular local traffic east through Monaco to Ventimiglia in Italy and westwards to Nice, through Cannes all the way to Saint-Raphaël.
Really loved staying here. The views are spectacular and the location is convenient for walking around. Definitely need to be in shape as there are lots of stairs when walking. Parking can be very tight in this area.
This apartment is absolutely wonderful. It was clean, the check-in process was super easy and the host was very communicative. The real star of this listing is the view. Itâs truly stunning all day long. Be prepared for many stairs but it is WELL worth it!
The view was spectacular and as advertised. Walking the steps to go down to the town and back up was a bit difficult, but doable. Having a patisserie and small grocery store 6 or so minutes away was great too, although more steps! We did always find a place to park our car. The apartment was very nice.
Property manager Audrey was absolutely fantastic!!!! Check-in was a breeze, and she even recommended her favorite restaurants in the area. The property itself was amazing, the view spectacular, and it was furnished very well! Even the pull-out couch was extremely comfortable to sleep on! We will definitely be booking this place again for future vacations!!
**A word of caution for anyone with mobility issues, you will probably need taxis to get around as there are a lot of stairs in Villefranche. It is a very steep town.
Beautiful views from the apartment. The walk up was quite a lot of stairs we did not anticipate. Buses werenât readily available on Sunday or May 1 as it was a holiday. Had an issue with the washing machine leaking but Audrey addressed the issue and answered any questions we had. She was great! The kitchen really needs updating but otherwise a great place to stay.
I stayed here for the month of October.
For the most part this apartment is fantastic. It looks just like the pictures. It is quiet and there is an elevator. The main room is large, as is the bathroom ; there is loads of storage space ; and the view from the terrace and from inside the apartment is incredible â not only during the day, but at night when you can watch the lighthouse blinking at the end of Cap Ferrat. (And if youâre lucky, someone, reputedly a rich Russian, will shoot off fireworks from Cap Ferrat one Saturday night and you will be even further in awe.) There is a rooftop pool with a view that is even just a bit better.
Villefranche-sur-Mer is steep wherever you are (unless you stay in the old town, near the water and the restaurants), and to get anywhere you have to walk up and down lots of steps, or steep streets without much in the way of sidewalks, but that is Villefranche â and for me, the location of this apartment was ideal.
I do have to add that some details are lacking â e.g., there is no TV; some lights and outlets donât work; thereâs a thick layer of ice inside the fridge, which should be replaced; etc.
Still, even writing this, I wish I were back in Villefranche-sur-Mer and in this apartment.
We stayed for 4 days and the views were stunning. The only downfall was we didnât realize just how many stairs there were to get down to the main area where stores and restaurants were. Not going to lie, some nights we walked down for dinner/drinks and took an Uber back up. Overall it was a nice place.
Compact appartment, perfect for two people. Wonderful views from the balcony and we definitely appreciated the rooftop pool. Appt is quite elevated, but the No80 bus goes straight from the beach and directly past the property should you be reluctant to tackle the 400+ steps. We had a great time. Thanks Audrey.
Great apartment, ideal location, easy to park your car. Comfortable bed and efficient AC. A real pleasure to have a breakfast on the balcony with this view. Only some appliances would need some update. Overall very satisfied.
