Relaxing Vacation
Very pleased that we found this apartment - we wanted a lovely low key vacation and it ticked all the boxes. Great apartment with a lovely view over the old town and the ocean. Lovely and gets a nice afternoon breeze. Added benefit of a good kitchen with everything needed to cook at home. The on site manager Heidi was very helpful and pointed us to the local markets which had some great local produce. Easy to get to via public transport or taxi. Definitely coming back - thank you Eamon!

We stayed in the 2bedroom apartment last fall and found this one bedroom right next door. The view, layout, location were all what we’d asked for! The apartment was very nice, with full kitchen, living area, patio space and French charm. Yes, we’d stay here again! Already have!

Can’t wait to return to Villefrance!
The terrace was superb and we spent many mornings and evenings out there watching the harbour and beautiful blue hues of the water! The villa was more than adequate for 2 people and had beautiful French character. We really appreciated the fresh flowers and bottle of wine upon arrival. Heidi was so helpful and just a sweetheart. I highly recommend this villa and we can’t wait to return.

A wonderful place to stay in Villefranche
My wife and I stayed at La Belle Epoque for almost 4 weeks and found it to be an excellent residence in terms of furnishings, comfort, location, and view. We also appreciated the assistance from local agents Claire and Heidi in lining up transportation and answering questions we had. They made us feel like valued guests at the apartment.

The first thing you see upon entering the apartment is the sea view and it never gets old. The apartment is clean and well equipped. The large balcony was the perfect location for relaxing or dining. The apartment was quiet and in a great location. Also, Heidi was a delight and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again..

Authentic Old World Charm
This lovely villa is located in the heart of Villefranche-sur-Mer. A second-floor walkup, it exudes authentic old world charm. Three sets of French doors open to the terrace, overlooking Villefranche, the harbor and the surrounding hillsides. While very authentic, the apartment is very clean and modern with up-to-date appliances and facilities. The short walk into town is a timeless stroll through the culture of old France with a significant Italian influence (as you are just a few miles from the Italian border). The narrow streets are crowded with charming restaurants and shops, opening onto a breathtaking waterfront. And Villefranche is centrally located, just a short bus / train / taxi / Uber ride from Nice, Canne, Monaco, Eze and Cap Ferrat.

Delightful apartment
My husband and I stayed at this delightful apartment for a week. On arrival it was spotless and we were welcomed by Heidi who was more than helpful. We enjoyed our stay , especially sitting on the large balcony in the evenings with a lovely view of the sea in the distance. The apartment was quiet and so central to the beautiful town, buses and train. We would more than recommend it and would stay again.

Villefranche
The apartment was truly delightful. It exactly matched its description and pictures, was spotlessly clean and everything worked just as it should. The shower was always warm and powerful enough, there was plenty of bedding and towels, and the equipment in the apartment ( microwave, BBQ, dishwasher etc) all made is easy and convenient to eat in, if you fancied, and gave the apartment a real ‘home from home feel’. The help and tips given by Heidi on arrival were really useful and we ate in several of the restaurants she recommended, all of which were delicious!! Would definitely stay there again and, in fact, am already planning a return visit!!

Spectacular views, comfortable bed, everything you need in the kitchen, great balcony!
This was our second stay in this apartment. Our first time was ten years ago as we celebrated our 30th anniversary. We met a wonderful couple in the apartment next door then, and we have continued to travel together over the years. We planned ahead for this trip (our 40th) and our friends were once again in the apartment next door. The trip down to the water and back is rigorous with many steps, but the views are spectacular and there are ways to get up and down with more gradual hills. There are many lovely restaurants, cafes, and bakeries, and there are 3 small groceries (casinos) close by. Heidi was extremely helpful and responsive and made us feel at home. For a nominal cost, she arranged a taxi pickup at the airport which was well worth it. The owners of this apartment are also very pleasant to deal with in terms of bookings and payment. We plan to be back next year since it has everything we needed to be comfortable and is well taken care of. It has a great shower and the appliances work well. We cooked breakfast most mornings and went out for lunch and dinner. It is a perfect, romantic place for a couple, although it does also have a hide-a-bed in the living room for one more, if needed. We love this place since it exudes the charm and character of the old village! Highly recommended!

Perfect apartment in Villefranche!
We stayed at this lovely apartment for 8 nights. What a great stay! The location is perfect -- a quick 3 minute walk to the bus stop that will take you to Nice/Monaco or Cap Ferrat and about a 15 minute walk to the train. It is at the top of Villefranche so to get to restaurants you walk down the hill/stairs, but it's really not bad if you are reasonably in shape. There is a mini market, produce store, and a butcher all within a couple of blocks. The highlight of the apartment is the incredible balcony, where we ate breakfast every morning, some dinners at home in the evening, and every evening enjoyed some rose as we watched the boats come in and out of the harbor or watched the full moon rise over the Villa Ephrussi on Cap Ferrat. It was truly magical! Nice amenities include the washing machine and the dishwasher. Kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, and utensils but lacked staples like salt and pepper. Unfortunately when we were there the grill outside was broken, which was a disappointment at first but turned out to not be a big deal at all as when you open the large french doors, you feel like you are outside all the time in this apartment. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was large with a great shower. We loved our stay here, and Villefranche was the perfect base for exploring the French Riviera. We can't wait to come back! A quick note on parking - we had a rental car for one night while we were staying here so we could visit St. Paul de Vence and Vence, and there is a pay garage 1/2 a block down the street. It was not cheap, but very convenient and worth it for one night to not have to try to drive around looking for parking. There was another smaller outdoor pay lot about a block or two before the apartment.
