About this property

Seafront Penthouse Loft

Our charming 1 bedroom/1 bathroom penthouse is sunny and cozy. The private rooftop terrace has a stunning 180 degree view of the beautiful Villefranche-Sur-Mer bay. The apartment is situated on the top story of the historic Palais de la Marine, which is located just down the street from the old town and directly across the street from the bay. The Palais de la Marine has an elevator to the 4th floor. Our flat is located just 1 floor above on the top floor, just 1 flight of stairs. The bedroom has a queen size bed which is open to the living area and can be closed off with a privacy screen. The living room has a sofa with a pullout bed. The kitchen and bathroom have been recently renovated. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. Watch the fishermen come in each morning while sipping your coffee on the terrace, you are just a 2 minute walk to the dock where the fishermen sell their daily catch. The town's weekly market is every Sunday. The weekly market, grocery store, boulanger, patisserie, wine store and many wonderful restaurants are all just steps away. The pristine beach of Villefranche is a top rated beach on the Cote D'Azur and is a short walk from the flat. The quaint town is charmingly beautiful and truly magical after dark. The Italian border is 30 minutes away. If you get the urge for a more cosmopolitan scene, Nice is just a 10 minute drive or train ride away. The glamorous and ritzy Monaco is 20 minutes away by car or train. Whether you are a francophile, oenophile, foodie, golfer, sun worshiper, ski enthusiast, scuba diver/snorkler or a glitzy jet setter, Villefranche-sur-Mer has everything you need and want. The train and bus stations are just a few minutes walk from the flat. There are also 5 private parking spaces available on a first come first serve basis and public paid parking is nearby. This is a non smoking apartment but smoking is permitted on the terrace. ASK ABOUT OUR INSTITUT DE FRANÇAIS DISCOUNT!!!!!

A very charming apartment apartment in a great location.
We felt very privileged to stay in your top floor apartment for a week. It was the perfect base for our first stay on the Riviera. Enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony while watching the sunrise over the harbour is pretty special. Of course, the balcony works just as well for a pre dinner drink. The apartment is well equiped with everything needed for an extended stay. The only negative is that the apartment is obviously set up for 2 + 2 guests and the extra furnishing required for this does make it feel a little cluttered. Sometime less is more...

Stay in Villefranche-sur-Mer
Really enjoyed our stay at this property! Waterfront with a great view of the sea and the gorgeous surroundings from the private terrasse. Check-in process was super smooth with the property manager and she was responsive for all our questions. Ideal place for couples visiting French Riviera. Everything was well maintained and many amenities at our disposition. If ever in the area again will try to grab that and highly recommend it to friends.

Ideal location
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this lovely seaside apartment in the sky. It had all the amenities you could need. It was very clean, cozy, with modern conveniences, and old rustic beams overhead. If you wish to relax and watch tv at the end of a long day make sure to bring your streaming passwords. The apt. is perfect for 1-2 people, but anymore would be too tight, imo. The apartment is SO close to everything you need- restaurants, the beach, and the train is only a 5 minute straight walk. Marie Laure, and Suzie, answered the many questions I had prior to and during my trip. They were very gracious hosts. I would definitely stay again if they would welcome me.

The rental was a top choice for the view and location. Gianfranco, the “concierge” for the building was most kind and helpful. The apartment was perfect for my wife and I. Clean, well equipped, comfortable and the view from the balcony was spectacular. Thank you Suzie, Scott, and Gianfranco!
