Property was rather well equipped. The location was ok thanks to the view, which was beautiful. We had no car, so it was quite a physical training up to the property, and down as well.
The thing we missed was air conditioning. The temperature even during night was + 25-28C, difficult to sleep.
Fabulous terrace overlooking the entire bay!Comfortable home on steep hill. Not ADA friendly as there are steps for first two bedrooms and second set of bedrooms are not connected to main space. Only 2 bathrooms(1 full, 1 toilet only and 1 shower). Additional, per bed Linen charges came as a surprise and beds are very ( extra, extra)firm. While pilows were not too fluffy (not at all).Staying here was like stepping in time, to prewar era. It is beautiful and simple and very peaceful. The rooms are spacious with good storage in the art deco wardrobes(I love those) This house has great vibes and one can tell that it is loved by the owners. The house does have a washing Machine, dish washer and an bbq grill, AND a full sized fridge! You will find that there are great restaurants in town near the port and we ended up eating out every night. Owner responds quickly. We had a great stay! Very clean and tidy home! Very peaceful but the road noise is loud at night if you sleep with windows open. The night breeze was wonderful and A/c not needed. There is a terrace with view on each floor. If you like hiking, this is a great location!
Wir hatten eine schöne Woche in der Villa. Die Lage ist sehr schön und der Blick von der Terrasse auf das Meer ist toll. Die Einfahrt in die Garage ist mit einem Kombi etwas schwierig, da die StraĂe sehr eng ist und der Platz fĂŒr das Rangieren fehlt. Das Haus entspricht ansonsten der Beschreibung. Der Kontakt mit dem EigentĂŒmer war sehr nett. Leider war es bei unserer Ankunft im Haus ĂŒber 30 Grad warm und wir bekamen die Hitze nur sehr schlecht aus dem Haus heraus. Es fĂŒhlte sich mehrere Tage an wie in einem Backofen. Eine Klimaanlage wĂ€re toll. FĂŒr 150 hĂ€tten wir eine grĂŒndlichere Reinigung erwartet! Villefranche-sur-Mer ist ein sehr schöner Ort und unbedingt einen Besuch wert.
Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa war schön, die Umgebung ist Ende Juli/Anfang August sehr voll, die Parksituation mit zwei Autos mindestens herausfordernd. Der Weg zum Meer ist eine sportliche BetĂ€tigung, die man wohlĂŒberlegt nicht in der gröĂten Hitze sollte. Das Haus des EigentĂŒmers ist sehr französisch und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, allerdings bemĂ€ngeln wir verstopfte AbflĂŒsse, schmutziges Geschirr und schmierige KĂŒchenschrĂ€nke aufgrund fehlender Reinigung. Einfachheit, Ll
Lovely views and interesting tradtional house. Yes it's a bit of a walk uphill but not much, easy uber to Nice or a quick walk into Villefrenche, or a 5 min walk to bus stop. Not a big deal. House is lived in and rustic, and a bit rough and ready, but if you want a 5 star starched sheets pefect clinical place then pay 3 times as much for a fake hotel. Horses for courses. Things were not perfect, it took us 2 days to work out how to not soak the downstairs bathroom when we had a shower, it did explain this in the information but maybe a shower tray would sort it, but still it was a lovely interesting house, interesting books, pottery, furnishings, unique. lots of outdoor space. for the price it was amazing. You just need to know that if you book this house it's a more authentic, genuine, normal sort of house for rent, not a hotel, think of it as staying at a friend's place for the weekend. Personally I prefer that, but If you don't want that, then maybe book a hotel in Nice for much more money. Stephanie the housekeeper was very helpful, we arrived very late when there were no shops open so she provided us with some basic shopping on arrival which was really appreciated. Also her communication was very good. we never saw stephanie but thank you Stephanie!
The house was well located with a great view to the ocean. Only issue we found that the lower bedrooms front needed a handle plus the pathway needed action, muddy area when raining. Overall it was very pleasant and enjoyed our stay at the house.
Nice house with great views over the bay. The trek to the house is a bit steep and will take a toll on some of the warmer days. Otherwise itâs close to the bus line going to and from Nice etc and Monaco. Same can be said for the train station as it lies around 5 minutes away.
We had a fantastic stay in Villefranche. The house is rustic but full of character and we had a great amount of space for our group of 2 families (4 adults and 2 young children). The views from the terrace were wonderful and we had relaxing breakfasts and dinners around the table soaking it up.
Although the equipment in the kitchen/ bathrooms etc was pretty old-school everything worked perfectly well and we had almost everything we needed for our stay. Only thing that would have been appreciated that wasnât there was hand soap/ washing up liquid. It was annoying to have to go out and buy these things on arrival.
Shops, restaurants and the beach are all walkable but itâs a serious workout getting back up the hill, especially with shopping on board! We used the buses and trains to get into Nice which were quick and easy.
Only big downside for us was the bedding situation- having to pay separately, in cash, for sheets (and cleaning) is not only very inconvenient when you are arriving after a long journey, it just seems so outdated and gives an unecessarily bad first impression. I would really recommend the host to change this as itâs just the very least you expect when you book a place to sleep that you have a bed and bed linens to sleep in! Even in the most basic hostel dorms I have stayed in they have managed to provide this. I sure they can do it and if they had, we would not have had a bad word to say about our stay (is it worth it?!)
