Very comfortable, well located, lovely view
The apartment is as represented and was very comfortable for our four week stay. It is very well located, splitting the distance between the language school and the sea-front. The terrace is very nice and the view to the bay and the sea is mesmerizing.

Fabuleux Appartement
As a family of four we stayed in Eamon's apartment from the 1st - 10th August 24. We just couldn't fault it at all. We did book a taxi from the airport but it is possible to get to Villfranche by tram then bus. On arrival at the apartment Heidi met us with the keys and showed us round. The apartment has all you could need for cooking and laundry. It also has air con in the living area and both bedrooms which was a massive plus for us as the temperature was high when we were there.The balcony was a good size and the view was fantastic. It's location was also hard to beat. The bus stops and train station are a 5-10 walk, as is the seafront and beach. Villefranche itself is a beautiful town with plenty of places to shop and eat out. Nice is only about 20 mins on the bus and Monaco about 20 mins on the train. We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely return to stay in Eamon's apartment.

Perfect introduction to the south of France.
The property was lovely and the location was perfect. Easy walking to groceries and libations as well as restaurants. The terrace made the stay. Morning coffee and evening drinks with local wine cheese and sausages. Beach was just a short walk away. And the welcoming flowers and wine ser the stage for a lovely stay.

Superb apartment, the view is unbelievable!
We had a wonderful vacation and could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay. The apartment is exactly as shown and even perhaps better as you can not capture the beauty of the view and the balcony on pictures. Have no worries, you will find everything you need and more. It was also very nice and welcoming to have Heidi greet us in person. The town of Villefranche-sur-Mer is charming and so unique. Everything you need is at short walking distance. Including a great beach! I would go back in a heartbeat. Take the time to go on the website of the town of Villefranche-sur-Mer to learn about current events; outdoor movie by the water was quite spectacular! And you will also find info on parking; there is a one week pass for visitors available for 25 Euros and you can park anywhere where there are city meters, which includes street parking a a couple of parking lot. It was perfect!

There was an issue with the air con when we arrived but Eamon and Hede sorted it out to ensure we had a confortable stay. We would not hesitate to book this lovely apartment again should we ever return to the Riviera.

My husband and I loved our stay in Villefranche at this property! It was everything I was looking for in a centrally located property. The highlight was the large balcony with an expansive view of the water and the village. This location was close to bus and train transport. Only minutes away from dining and the water. We will return to this property again! I highly recommend it.

A fantastic French stay
Our family of 2&2 children (10&4) spent 10 days here and enjoyed every minute. The accommodation has everything you need, from being spacious, a spectacular view, enough utensils & cutlery and was very clean & comfortable. It was a great location to base ourselves, so we could fully explore Villefranche suir Mer and surrounding towns like Monaco, Eze, Menton, Cap Ferrat & Nice. The bus stop is 3 mins walk away and the train station approx 10 mins downhill. Highly recommend for a couple or family

Lovely, wonderful, outstanding...
And any other descriptive word to say that we loved staying here. We had 8- wonderful days in Eamon's Villefranche-sur-Mer apartment and it was a fantastic place to stay. Unfortunately we were there when France and Europe were experiencing Extreme Heat Warnings but coming home to an air-conditioned apartment definitely helped us to deal with the heat. I highly recommend this apartment for any stay in VSM! Note: There is a parking lot at the top of the hill on the main road that we were able to park in 90% of the time. For emergencies and short-term parking there is a lot just 1-minute walk from the apartment.

Fabulous place!
A friend and I rented this condo for a month while studying French at the Institut de Francais and it was perfect for us. First, the condo itself is very comfortable. The beds in both rooms are great. Both bathrooms are a nice size. The very best thing, though, is the view from the deck. It is nothing short of fabulous. We spent every bit of time we could on that deck. The condo also has a wonderful location close to the modern town but also a very easy walk to the vieille ville. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact, I hope to.

Apartment with wonderful view in Villefranche-sur-mer
We loved our stay in this very well equipped and comfortable apartment on the edge of the old fishing village of Villefranche- sur -mer. Perhaps the best feature of the apartment itself was the terrace with outstanding views of the old town and harbour looking cross to Cap Ferrat, and where we breakfasted and spent many hours late in the day.. The location was great with a short walk through steep lanes and steps to the waterfront. We enjoyed many excellent dinners both in the old town and waterfront and also frequented the patisseries and small supermarkets within easy walking distance. The location proved to be a great stepping stone to exploring the area. The no. 100 bus was close by and took us east along a beautiful coastal route through Cap Ferrat and Monte Carlo to Menton , and in the westward direction to Nice-we had fun exploring the Vielle Ville and large market there. On our only wet day we visited the spectacular Chagall museum in Nice and also the Matisse museum [a bit disappointing]. We also highly recommend visiting Eze set high on top of the hills behind the Riviera; the medieval village itself was somewhat overrun with tourists crowding the narrow, and steep lanes. However the Jardin Exotique at the peak of the hill at the site of the ruined chateau offered stunning views of the whole coastline and had a wonderful collection of cacti and other desert plants with a Mediterranean garden on the cooler north side. A little complicated to get there by bus or train, so we used Uber which was quite inexpensive. Finally I should mention that the apartment was well stocked with guide books and very helpful info provided by Eamon and Eileen. Heidi , the local manager, was welcoming and readily available for questions. And thank you Eamon for the bottle of rose which we enjoyed on the terrace and for the beautiful bunch of sunflowers-they both epitomise the essence of the Riviera!

A stunning view and a glass of wine
Thank you, Eamon, for a lovely apartment to stay in. From the complimentary wine to the stunning view of the bay from the terrace, everything combined to make a relaxing holiday. The apartment is welcoming , well- equipped and spacious without being too big. The small square below has a cafe, pharmacy and excellent boulangerie, with a supermarket nearby and a lovely walk through atmospheric streets down to the seafront, or rail station. Heidi was welcoming and helpful at check- in, and easy to contact if needed. There is some unavoidable traffic noise at the front, but easily screened out, and we liked being away from the main throng but within easy reach. We would love to return.

A very special place
We stayed at this apartment in Villefranche for 5 days in August. What an amazing choice. The apartment was everything we expected and more. The location is absolutely perfect, we loved sitting on the terrace looking out at the bay and watching boats sail in every morning, and having a glass of wine watching the sunsets every night. The view is second to none. There are a lot of steps at a steep incline into the old town, but we enjoyed the exercise. There are numerous bakeries and stores just a few minutes walk and we ate at some great sea front restaurants in town just 5-10 minutes walk from the apartment. The beach was just 10-15 minutes walk and is great for lazy beach days, it was busy but never too crowded even though we were there in the height of summer. We loved getting the train to nearby places such as Monaco, it was fast and easy and the station is just a short walk from the apartment. We had an amazing evening out at the Rothschild villa (at the recommendation of Heidi) which I would definitely suggest you do if you are there during the summer weeks when the villa is open in the evenings. Heidi the manager was great, very informative and stayed in contact with us before our stay. She made checking in and out easy and stress free . The weather was hot when we were there but the AC in the apartment kept us cool. Villefranche will always have a special place in my heart after this vacation, since my boyfriend proposed in the beautiful town. A very special vacation for all of us and we would definitely return and stay at Eamons apartment again.
