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


The Cote d'Azur has long been regarded as one of the most beautful coastal regions in Europe. It combines style and sophistication with the simple pleasures of life. Nice lies at the heart of the Cote d'Azur with Antibes and Cannes to the west and Villefranche sur Mer, Monaco and Menton to the east.
The beautiful azure Mediterranean laps against clean, safe beaches and the climate allows for a varied pavement culture of restaurants and markets. The combination of French and Italian influences over the centuries gives the architecture a distinctive quality.
The Villefranche Sur Mer area
Villefranche sur Mer nestles at the head of a beautiful natural harbour and presents a view of pastel coloured apartments, restaurants and shop fronts along the quayside.
The narrow walkways in the heart of the town with their cobbled streets provide the town with a unique character. Villefranche itself has a number of festivals throughout the year and is ideally placed as a base to visit, for example, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film festival.

We had a wonderful time at this apartment. The terrace is amazing; full-south facing and huge! Terrific views over the bay at Villefranche and so centrally located. Pictures on the owner's site give an excellent idea of what to expect – it's very difficult on some sites to get a clear idea of what you're booking. Five minutes (literally) to the beach; very close to restaurants and the shops. We stayed on the terrace many nights and ate there listening to the sea rolling in against the shore. We did a lot of the tourist things, e.g. trip to Monaco – about 15 minutes on the train – trip to Nice – fantastic old town, etc. We had a really enjoyable time; the accommodation was great with everything that we needed for a great holiday. If you want to eat in or go out you have the option with plenty of restaurants to choose from. We were about to book for July 2012 but we saw it was booked - we're a little disappointed but not surprised! Beautiful view and a fantastic terrace |

This apartment has beautiful views with a big terrace to enjoy it. The accomodation is small but well appointed with good cooking facilities, and a comfortable seating area with TV. Ideal for a couple who simply want to relax and enjoy the very pretty town of Villegranche sur Mer. There are also plenty of excursions around with good travelling facilities, there is no need to use a car at all, the shops are in easy walking distance. Altogether a very enjoyable place for a holiday |

Nice balcony and View, however the living area dimensions are just too small, sliding door opens to a sitting room/diner with a raised seating and kitchen area which leaves about a six foot by six floor space, single bedroom is gained by japanese stlye sliding door with wall to wall glass with same sliding door to the bathroom in bedroom, not very private and too light. As i said great balcony but the accomodation feels like a beach hut im afraid Azur Mediterraine who are Agents are very good and went out of their way to help us Response: Yes indeed a very nice view and balcony.The apartment is small but has a well planned layout the sliding doors making it light and airy.It is cleary advertised as sleeping a maximum of three Previously people have very much enjoyed the apartment and have had a wonderful time there.The size not coming under comment.Fantastis location close to beach and shops.The agents are indeed very helpful at all times |
