The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region


The apartment is 100 metres from the seafront and enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate all year round. During the Summer, the average sea temperature is 24° C , the sea is blue and clear. Monaco Grand Prix usually takes place at the end of May. Very mild winter at the coast, although within one and a half hour's drive you are in the Alps and the ski stations start at 1300 m altitude. The best stations are a little further, still less than 2 hours drive and starting at around 1800 metres (Val d'Isère, Auron, Isola 2000, Valberg). The region was a part of Italy until the early 1800's, so many families still have italian roots and culture.
The Villefranche Sur Mer / Villefranche Old Town area
Situated between Monaco and Nice, this is regarded as the most breathtaking bay on the Riviera.
Villefranche dates from around 130BC, since then it has been a centre of trade, fishing and home to the U.S 6th Fleet for many years. Places to visit : Monaco, Beaulieu, St Jean de Cap Ferrat, La Turbie (Roman ruins), Eze, Nice, spectacular views, culture, beaches and excellent food. The atmosphere in the village is really welcoming. Cultural events are numerous and there are many art galleries and churches of all denominations close by. Open air cinema under the stars in the gardens at the Citadelle (5minutes walk)
Villefranche-sur-Mer is perhaps the most visited place on the Riviera and we will be happy to welcome you in this unique spot. You are within 1 min from the waterfront and the restaurants , 5 mins from the main beach . In the heart of the old town, the street is a pedestrian area, shops, cafe's, boulangerie, vegetable, fruit markets are all within a stone's throw. The ambiance is like a small village and everyone is at ease in this beautiful little town.
Things to enjoy :
diving, snorkelling, sailing, walking, hiking, swimming, the beach, mountainering, kayaking, paragliding, windsurfing, museums, art galleries, skiing in the winter and so much more...

"Thanks for your hospitality and a flat that was more than fit for purpose. The location is superb and, I suspect life here is a little easier in October than it might be in August" -D. and J., Maida Vale
"Ein Platz zum Wohlfuhlen! Ich habe die zeit in Villefranche sehr genossen: die wunderschone Altstad, die feine pizza und anderen gemutlichen Beizlei, die schone Bucht, Eze, Villa Rothschild, Cap Ferrat... Ich habe mich hier fast wie zu hause gefuhlt!" - Markus, Bern, Suisse
"Thanks so much from both of us for opening your home to us- Villefranche is a beautiful location to explore the Côte d'Azur. Thanks a lot for the small things like bus/train time tables, hairdryer, books etc little thoughts that make a big difference. We will be sure to recommend you to others and we expect to be back again sometime.

Thank you for a wonderful holiday week. The apartment is really nice and also the location. I will recomend it to my family and friends. Thanks for your hospitality. See you next time. Maria, Helsinki Finland - Oct 07
Thank you for a wonderful stay in Villefranche. The apartment is beautiful and feels very much like a home from home. Again keep going with the little touches like the maps, hairdryer, dvds etc as they make all the difference and contribute towards the lovely feel of the apartment. Everyone in Villefranche has been so friendly and welcoming and it is truly a special place. It will definitely hold fond memories for us as the place where we got engaged and who knows we may come back here for our honeymoon also. thanks again, we will be recomending you back in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Love & Hugs L&J Perth Scotland.June 08
10 rue de May has truly been home from home. Your are both wonderful people and kind people. We met as strangers and left as friends. Thank you for all the extra things you did for us, way beyong the call; we appreciated it very much. Your apartment is not only beautiful and comfortable, but is a happy home, we have been very contented during our stay. Hopefully, God willing we will be back next year. Once again a big "thank you" love to you both and of course darling Pilou... the cat. E & M - Dublin Ireland July 08
Thank you for lending us your nice apartment. We did indeed enjoy our stay in this beautiful village, and France is now our favorit country. thank you. L & S Reykjavik- Iceland August 08
Thank you for letting us stay in this lovely apartment! It is perfect. Villefranche is gorgeous and the flat couldn't be in a better location. I wish we could stay longer ( I am sure we will be back) That recommendation for the Pizzzeria on the corner was great, we ate there a few times. Such a shame to go home when there is so much still to do. Many thanks once again. A & M London - Oct08
What a lovely, comfy, cosy apartment and a great base for seeing the Côte d'Azur. We have enjoyed a couple of relaxing days here on the beach in Villefranche but also visited Monaco, Cannes, Nice, Menton St Jean Cap Ferrat (fabulous scenic walk recommended by Marianne) and Beaulieu sur mer. It will be hard going back to work after such a fabulous break but I have no doubt we will be back to this part of France and we will certainly recommend the apartment to our friends and family. Lee & Katy - Liverpool- UK June09
Who would believe it, from a chick on the internet to the perfect holiday retreat! We truly have had a wonderful time. Your exceptionnally warm welcome and recommendations to both eat and visit were outstanding and have made our holiday particularly special. The apartment was very well situated and contained everything that we needed on our holiday. Even slippers! It made it all most possible to relax and just chill out; We go home today with many fond memories of our visit and we look forward to maybe return next year. Neil & Linda - Northumberland
Another day another year but the same wonderful people. Thank goodness you have not changed. Once again our deepest appreciation for all your kindness. Your welcome was like a home coming thank you dear friends.
The visit to Antibes was the highlight of our holiday. Now we are sad to leave after three weeks in your lovely apartment and look forward to be back next year. E & M Dublin July 09
Enjoyed our brief stay in Villefranche. Your apartment is in an excellent location and easy to access all places. It is very comfortable and clean. Hopefully we will return fo Villefranche for a longer stay next time. Thank you for your kindness and help. O & D Ireland
Had a wonderful stay in Villefranche sur mer. Apartment was lovely to stay in and it was very clean; Le Serre restaurant was a great place to dine at night. Visited Cannes, Menton, Monaco but the old part of Nice where the small shops are and the market is the real France. John & Maeve.
