The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The Cote d`Azur has a long history as one of the most beautful coastal regions in Europe. It is sophisticated but unpretentious. The scenery is spectacular and the food world renound. Nice lies at the heart of the Cote d'Azur with Antibes and Cannes to the west and Villefranche sur Mer, Monaco ,Monte Carlo and Menton to the east. The Mediterranean laps against clean, safe beaches and the climate allows for the varied pavement culture of restaurants and markets. The combination of French and Italian influences over the centuries gives the architecture a distinctive quality. Nestled between Nice to the west and Monte Carlo to the east, Villefranche still retains its medieval characture. It sits at the base of a natural amphitheatre of mountains and is considered one of the most beautiful bays and natural deep water harbours in France.
Villefranche Sur Mer / Port de la Darse area
Throughout history Villefranche has been both French and Italian and is still influenced by both cultures. With its colourful fishing boats and numerous waterside restaurants there is always something to see. You can wander the narrow medieval streets of the old town, or jump on one of the frequent trains that run along the coast. On Fridays take the train just over the border to Ventimillia in Italy, where you can shop for leather goods, shoes, handbags, knitwear and scarves at one of the regions largest street markets. Nice, with it's night life, shops and famous Cours Salaya flower market is a 15 minute bus ride away. For the perfect location, Villefranche ticks all the boxes !

Hi Chris Just to let you know I have put the keys in today’s post. Had a wonderful time, have really fallen hard for the area and would love to come back if you’ll have me The apartment was great – that wonderful view every morning – missing it already Kindest regards Sandy Lovegrove ---------------------------------------------
Thanks Chris, I've been trying to find the time to drop you a note. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we were very happy with the flat. I'm currently suffering withdrawal symptoms from the beautiful weather. regards Liz Mackey
-----------------------------------
Hi Chris Just got back, we had a wonderful time and the studio is lovely – Thank you.
I’ve put the keys back in the post today. We would love to go back in September and was wondering if the weekend of Friday 21st September is available for 3 nights? Regards Wendy
Hello Christine Back home safe and sound now. We enjoyed a wonderful few days at Le Galet - particularly the great restaurants and "wide screen TV" from the balcony. There was always something going. Best restaurant was L'Eschalote and Mere Germaine also gave a great meal. Thanks for your instructions and the info.

13/10/2007 Hi Chris,

Dear Chris, We enjoyed our time in your apartment very much. The views of the harbor and the Cap were fantastic. Because of the weather, the DVDs were especially appreciated in the evenings. We got in as many walks as we could stand in spite of the iffy weather. (Sunday, the day we left, was the first perfect weather.) The food at several of the local restaurants was great. We especially enjoyed the walk from La. Turbie to Eze in spite of some drizzle. We tried to leave the apartment as we had found it. Thanks to Tamsin for picking us up at the bus stop on our way in. We have already recommended your place to some friends.
Best regards, George and Barbara Copeland

Dear chris,
I have just got back from my travels, we had the most amazing time, the studio was ideal and loved by both of us. We're envious. We kept looking in estate agents windows.
We will certainly want to do this again one day, though unlikely to be next year, so I may be in touch again some time in the future. I will send the keys 1st class tomorrow.
Once again, thank you for your help and information (organising Tamsin was a great help). We have left there with the happiest of memories.
Best wishes
Kim

Hi Chris Thanks - had a lovely time in Villefranche - the view from the apartment was fabulous. I think we would have come back fitter from all the uphill walking if we hadn't eaten so much cheese and drank so much wine!
Kind regards Sue France

Hi Chris, We had a wonderful holiday in Villefranche!! Your studio provided the perfect home for the two of us during our four week stay -- comfortably furnished, nicely decorated and very well equipped. And your commanding view of the harbour is amazing! It was really very entertaining, when we were not out and about, keeping track with our binoculars of all that was going on in the Port. We certainly would recommend it to anyone else who may have an interest. Best regards, Jim and Mary Jo Hynden

Hi Chris, A short note to tell you we thoroughly enjoyed our week in Villefranche and really found it relaxing and enjoyed your apartment. What a view!! We will be back next year!!! Best regards, Jackie and Jürgen

Hi Chris,
I had a wonderful time in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Your apartment was exactly as pictured and was very comfortable to stay in. Richard was also a great help in finding my way around town and making me feel welcomed - even walking me home after a particularly bad storm. I was a bit road weary by time I got to the coast and Richard & the folks at Chez Net really made it the best part of my trip.
Thank you sooo much and I plan on returning, hopefully very soon. Is it best to go thru the Holiday Letting site or just contact you directly for future reservations?
Thanks again, Amy Cherowitz
