Belle villa *** avec piscine en plein coeur de Villefranche-sur-Mer

We stayed for a week in July (21-28-2018) – we had a great stay and we loved this spacious, French villa. Julie gave us a warm welcome, and she and the owner were very easy to deal with – always responded promptly and kindly to our emails/texts.

The location is ideal for a 5 minute stroll down to Villefranche and it only takes 15 minutes to the beach and bus/train connections to Nice and beyond.

The rooms were clean, light and airy and all the appliances were first class.

'Patrick' who attended to the pool was also very kind and helpful.

The garden is safe with a wall around it and the pool has a gate around it so it is also safe to take children.

We highly recommend staying in this lovely French villa to friends and family.

We stayed in the villa from 14th to 21st July. The villa is excellent and fantastic value for money. The Owners, Julie the housekeeper and Patrick the pool/handyman could not have been more helpful from booking and during our stay. Nothing is too much trouble for them and their expert knowledge of the area is a real bonus.

On arrival Julie and her mother were so welcoming. The villa was spotlessly clean. The pool and outdoor area is an excellent space and greatly enjoyed by our party. The villa retains some original features, the ceiling in the dining room is particularly beautiful. Whilst the kitchen is small it is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The bedrooms are very comfortable but the smallest is really only a single or would be adequate for 2 young children. The bathroom is very nice and the shower is excellent. We didn’t use the shower in the basement but the solar one by the pool is very useful. The air conditioning works perfectly and keeps all room very cool. The internet speed was very good with no breaks in service.

Down a small slope onto a main road there is an excellent bakery, very nice for the morning croissants, breads and a wide range of pastries. There is also a small supermarket selling basic supplies.

A word of warning though not a fault of the villa, there are a lot of ants outside and some did get into the basement and the mosquitos had some great meals on most of our party, it might be the time of the year so pack your repellent.

We highly recommend and would stay here again

Everything about the villa was excellent, the owner was very easy to deal with and very accommodating. Julie's meet & greet was great and Patrick the poolman was always on hand if needed, although we didn't have any problems. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Villa really nice, traditional French style. Pool and outside area great for villa in town. Julie (handover and cleaner) and Patrick (pool and outside maintenance) were both excellent with help and advice. We wouldn't hesitate to return due to great position in lovely town. However there were a few negatives.

Lounge only had seating for four, not ideal when villa sleeps six.

Shower rooms could be better, one really good, one in basement badly needing updated. Water drained from basement shower tray so slowly it was likely to overflow within a few minutes use. We felt the addition of a shower in the cloakroom off hall would be beneficial when the villa is at full capacity.

Beds not ideal for our party of 6 The two single beds are small, only really suitable for children and no space in room once the beds are set up. Although I had advised that our party were six adults two of the beds were not made up on arrival, however Julie made them up very quickly when she realised she had been advised wrongly.

There was no welcome pack with essentials. We were given a small bottle of water and teatowel. We arrived in the evening and have travelled in many countries over more than fifty years but none of us has ever rented anywhere that didn't have a basic welcome pack to last till we could access shops. Milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter should have been provided.

Stayed for a week in September and found the villa to be ideal for a 5 minute stroll down to Villefranche and ideal for bus/train connections to Nice and beyond.

A lovely spacious villa, with plenty of room for six people, a home from home so to speak.

The rooms were clean, light and airy. From the air conditioning to the washing machine, the appliances were first class and that really made a difference whilst we were on holiday. I would like to add that 'Patrick' who attended to the pool and was also on hand for general help was fantastic, and he made our stay pleasurable with his attentiveness. The owner always responded to our enquiries very promptly and we would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday villa to friends and family.
