L'Artiste Tresor - VILL101

Located in the heart of the old town just behind the promenade and forming one entire floor of a building dating back to the 16th Century.

This apartment is unusual for the old town in that is has a large terrace which overlooks the entire bay of Villefranche towards Cap Ferrat offering stunning views.

Please note that the apartment is in an historical village and is on the second floor so there are stairs to climb. Please pack as lightly as possible as the dress code is generally casual and you don't want to be carrying heavy bags up the stairs.

The view is really wonderful and if you like the character of the old together with the comfort of the new, then you will love it here.

You will find a small selection of the owner's paintings throughout the apartment giving the atmosphere of a home rather than an impersonal rental property. Guests come back time and time again

The location is the best in town. Surrounded by restaurants and minutes from the sea front and beach. The train is seven minutes walk away. The street is a car free zone and parking is available close by in the public car park or the citadel.

The Old Town: Harbour and Port
Dating from 1295, Villefranche-sur-Mer is rich in history and beauty. The village and area has a special atmosphere with all the warmth and charm of a fishing village from a bygone age.

The Old City, (dating from the 13th century) is well worth exploring with its narrow and picturesque streets with the facades of houses decorated in the 'trompe l'oeil' style.

Taking a stroll around the harbour and waterfront of Villefranche-sur-Mer rewards the effort with some suberb views and a journey through history.

Villefranche is is a deep water harbour which served as a base for the US Sixth Fleet for a time.
